I’m very excited for you both, and very excited to follow your journey!! I’d like to retire under the same circumstances you cited, and Van does too, he just doesn’t understand quite how to yet.

This is dreamy. Thanks for the newsie. Question from the back please. When are you doing this? Timeline?

Expand full comment

We will be talking about timeline in future posts, but we will start by spending vacations there, then summers, then 6 months, and once we are residents and ready to retire (10-15 years) we will be there most of the year.

Love it! I'm a Texan looking to move to France. Finding a broker that works with Americans has been difficult. Nowhere near retirement age, so hoping I can buy something cash as I save more money.

I am delighted to find your substack on the France FB group! I am also in Austin and share the same sentiment, even though I am farr long from retirement but I do want to move from the US and to Europe in the future. Thank you for sharing!!

So glad I found your Substack! I literally laughed out loud when I read the part about “when was the last time you visited a friend’s new apartment in Montreal?” I’m from North Carolina, but I moved to Montreal five years ago. Learning French too! 🥰
