DIY vs Pay to Move Abroad: How to Stop Wasting Money and Actually Get Out

Moving abroad is not expensive in one big way. It is expensive in dozens of small ones. In this episode, I break down what you should DIY, what is worth paying for, and where people waste money out of overwhelm instead of strategy.

We talk about how to decide based on risk, timeline, and complexity, which parts of moving abroad are safe to do yourself, and when paying for professional help actually saves you time, money, and stress. I also share common traps like paying for country selection before knowing your visa and buying courses without an action plan.

You will leave this episode with a simple pay vs DIY framework and a weekly task to help you stop panic spending and start making real progress toward moving abroad.
