Episode notes
Max Out 401(k) First
- Max out your 401(k) contributions before worrying about IRAs or backdoor moves.
- Prioritize employer retirement accounts because they bypass income limits and compound long-term.

- Try extended 3–6 month stays in target countries to test daily life, not just vacations.
- Keep your U.S. legal residency while you wander to simplify taxes and employer issues.

- Increasing balances rarely cures money anxiety because people simply shift their target higher.
