teach Expat Financial Independence

Get over 10 hours of recordings to watch in your own time, a festival of learning, discussing & sharing all things financial independence - by expats for expats anywhere in the world.

Get the latest tips on how to plan, save & invest as an expat from the smartest, nicest, most unbiased and unaffiliated folks out there...

the good guys!

My heart broke when my local client said she had trusted the advisor at her bank because it was the national bank, which should be on the side of the people. And my poor heart had barely recovered from the weekly tales of commission-driven advisors and greedy banks pushing credit cards and expensive long-term savings plans.

The expat world of personal finance is swarming with bad guys, incompetent guys, lazy guys and talented guys led astray by the chance to earn a quick buck - from you. They have the ad budgets, the networks, the support in high places and, mysteriously, the ability to find and call you within a week of you arriving in the country.

Enough I say! There are good guys out there, patiently showing people how they can take control of their financial lives by themselves. If we can get the good guys in one place, we can reach more people and push back against the relentless forces of rubbish personal finance.

So here we are... the first festival of The Good Guys... just for you. Learn from scratch or get updates on the latest thinking. Come and join us!
