We also liked the concept of ERing overseas, in a cheaper COL country, but having seen people do this and get "stuck" when they don't want to live there anymore, but don't have enough to live back at home, we decided to wait to ER until we could support the lifestyle where we wanted to live in the States.
Once we hit that, we started traveling full time, and may settle in a low COL area, but we won't ever be "stuck" there if we decide we don't like it.
(It does come with the tradeoff of having to work longer--had we wanted to ER on a budget like she was talking, we could have done it at least 5 years sooner, I'm sure, but we enjoyed our jobs at the time.)
Love to see Networthify getting a shoutout!
I do like that there's something out there for everyone.
As Cassie points out, this is not for her. As I pointed out, it may or may not be for us, but we're keeping our options open. But the author of the piece seems to enjoy it, so more power to her. I love that it's possible in the world we're in today!
