28: How much does it REALLY cost to live abroad? We get really honest...

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
