Yeah, me, too. We're planning to move abroad, as well. So I go between feeling pretty okay and "on top" of things, to freaking out completely. So much to think about: How to "scaffold" our different savings/investment accounts, how to access them, tax implications, thinking about residency, etc. It can get so incredibly overwhelming to think about.

Part of the downshift is to move to a state without income tax. We are still trying to figure out if we want to go to Houston, Texas so I can keep working for the same company, just part time, or if we want to move to Washington and "figure it out when we get there."
I have been working on a to-do list of residency items. It is soooo long. I hope 6-months is enough to get it all done.
