Start learning the local language from now with Rosetta Stone! https://partners.rosettastone.com/goingfarthertogether3
Moving abroad sounds like a dream — until reality hits you in the face with a surprise bank fee, a "friend" who ghosts you after month 3, and a landlord who charged you double because you looked like a tourist. We've been living the expat life since 2024, and we learned most of these lessons the hard way so you don't have to. In this video, we break down the 10 biggest mistakes Americans make before (and after) moving abroad — from financial traps and banking headaches to managing relationships back home and avoiding the classic "foreigner tax."
In this video:
💸 The financial mistakes that will quietly drain your savings
🏦 Why your US bank account will destroy you abroad (and what to do instead)
👋 The truth about friendships when you move overseas
🚫 How to stop getting ripped off as an obvious foreigner
🧠 Mindset shifts that most Americans never make — and pay for it
