10am-5.30pm (with a break for lunch) UAE, 9am GCC, 6am UK (GMT), 2pm Sing/HK
We welcome beginners and people at all stages of their financial journey.

We'll go through the basics, the essentials and all the practical tips you need to manage your money with confidence.
PLUS you get access to the full content afterwards, with extra info, tools and workbooks so you can revisit topics and stay up to date.
Learn directly from people who know what it's like to live, work & save as an expat. We don't run live online workshops very often, so don't miss this opportunity!
UPDATE: pay in 3 monthly instalments if you are having real cashflow issues - lots of people are struggling at the moment. Get the knowledge and support you need to turn your financial life around, all in one weekend.
Message us (email address on next page) to arrange the instalment plan at no extra cost.
* If you have to work on Sundays, message us - if enough people are interested we will run another Day 2 session the Saturday after (11 Nov).
Steve Cronin
I have been lucky to help tens of thousands of expats across the world save & invest by themselves on their way to financial independence.
"I don't want to manage your money.
I want you to manage your money!"
My workshops are always fun, friendly, informative & practical.
I like to keep things simple and show that anyone can invest. Even you!

Every attendee I've spoke to has loved Steve's workshop.
He's making a difference.
Andrew Hallam, author of Millionaire Expat
The most transformational and life-changing workshop I have ever attended. Steve's knowledge and comprehensive content, delivered with genuine consideration, makes this the best twelve hours of personal development I have ever spent.
I recommend this programme to everyone. Plus it's the perfect gift for a loved one who wants to do the right thing with their finances but doesn't know how.
Now you know what is possible,
make it happen for you
Too many people know about Financial Independence but don't do anything about it. You know what needs to be done. Let us help you turn the theory into reality.
Planning, Saving & Investing are all simple. But for expats the devil is in the details. Do fund managers want to help you directly? No. Do banks want you to transfer your money cheaply? No. There are thousands of funds out there and... what if you move back home? Where can you even keep your cash safely? What about inflation?
Either you will spend months researching and getting paralysed, or you will rush in and fall at the first hurdle.
We have helped tems of thousands of expats and so we know where people get stuck. The Expat Saving & Investing Weekend Workshop is designed to help you blast through every single issue. Learn what really works in a friendly, fun and supportive environment.
By the end of the Workshop you will know what your finances actually look like now, what your goals are, exactly how long it will take you to reach Financial Independence*, how you are going to get there, what to invest in and how to buy the funds you need! You will be confident and in control of your financial destiny for the first time. There's no better feeling.
*If it's 70 years then you know to make some changes to your lifestyle! And if it's -2 years then congratulations, you can quit your job right now!
What to Expect
This workshop is live in a comfortable and supportive setting. You can ask questions throughout, meet like-minded people wanting to improve their finances and get one-on-one support when you need it.
We provide time to share ideas, goal-setting tools for crunching your numbers, plus training videos on broker account setup and trading, surveys and quizzes to create an engaging and interactive learning experience.

How this workshop could make you an extra $500k!
Let's say you invest $2000 per month for 25 years. In a long-term savings plan or bank savings account, let's assume 3% growth (which is sadly unlikely): you will have turned your $600k into $894k. After the workshop, you aim to invest at 7% growth and keep fees down to 1%: you'll have $1.4 million - that's an extra 500k for a great retirement! And that's a 1000x return on your workshop cost :)
Hear from real expats
making real progress
Because of your workshop and how you have taught me, I have managed to invest $100,000 since April 2020! I am so happy and I can't believe it.
Honestly, you have changed my life (my mum is so thankful to you too).
Hazel, UK expat
Probably the most important workshop of my life. I look forward to investing as soon as possible using what I've learnt.
Julian, South African expat
One of the best things I've ever done.
The workshop is awesome!
Alison, UK expat
I liked the 360° approach... this training will help you to get on a path to financial freedom. Probably the best training any expat can get for money management and investing.
Andy, German expat
The level of detail was exactly where it needed to be. It gave me so much confidence that after procrastinating for years, I’ve now created a broker account ready to begin my real investment journey. This is a huge step for me as I work towards early retirement.
Iki, Australian expat
Everything covered is backed by data. The workshop is a safe environment to ask questions about your situation and get valuable pointers. I can't recommend it enough.
Noura, Moroccan expat
Super informative yet not overwhelming, very educational yet very practical at the same time! An empowering experience that gave me the courage and knowledge to overcome hurdles and start investing.
I really appreciate Steve's course design, because it's digestible and concise, as well as his warm and friendly delivery style.
Sarah, Lebanese expat
2023 - now is the time to get on top of your finances!
The past couple of years have been rough on everybody. You may be waiting to sort out your finances until you have a (better) job, have time to go through your expenses, have got out of debt or saved up some cash. Don't wait. It's important to get a grip on your current situation so things don't get worse and it's important to plan for your future, ready for when things get better.
We don't run this workshop live very often, so don't miss it! We'll give you everything you need to start saving and investing properly for your future, by yourself.
