We’re gonna be really honest on this episode and explain exactly what it costs to live abroad.
We talk about:
- Cost of rent & bills
- How to find cheaper long-term accommodation
- The cost of driving a UK car abroad
- What we do about healthcare
Let’s get cracking!
Resources mentioned:
- Safetywing.com for emergency medical insurance
- Cigna for premium healthcare and outpatient care
- Njuskalo is where we found our current house (far cheaper than the sites aimed at ex-pats)
- Stuart Collins insurance for long term stay in Europe (or try Saga if you’re over 50)
- Credit cards that we use with no currency fee: Halifax Clarity & Santander Zero
- We use Starling Bank for our day to day banking (We use the debit card to get cash out at ATMs abroad)
- We use wise.com (formerly TransferWise) to send money from UK accounts to other European accounts (like paying landlords etc)
- Numbeo.com for cost of living in other countries
- NomadList.com to decide where you want to live
