Podcast Ep013: Minimalism—Twelve Minimizing Mistakes and Solutions—Part One of Two

You can read the full article here. Minimizing is one of the steps you will be embarking on in your living abroad adventure. While I currently have two full modules with over ten lessons dedicated to this in my upcoming class, I wanted to help you move forward right now. This article ended up being longer than I had anticipated so I’m breaking it up into two articles. I came up with twelve common mistakes people often make when they start this process and in this article we’ll cover the first six. Expat on a Budget is a reader-supported publication.
