Move abroad with clarity. Avoid costly financial mistakes. Build wealth across borders.

Moving abroad can open the door to a richer, more expansive life, but for Americans, it also introduces financial complexities that most traditional advice does not address. U.S. taxes, foreign bank accounts, currency decisions, healthcare, retirement planning, and investing as an expat can quickly become overwhelming without the right roadmap.

The Expat Money Playbook by Arielle Tucker is an accessible, practical guide for Americans moving abroad and U.S. expats who want to build a financially confident life overseas. Drawing on more than 15 years of experience in cross-border financial planning, and Arielle’s own life as an American expat in Switzerland, the book helps readers understand what to plan for before, during, and after an international move.

Part financial guide, part relocation roadmap, The Expat Money Playbook helps globally mobile Americans avoid common money mistakes, understand their options, and create a flexible wealth-building plan for life abroad.
