FIRE Abroad for US Expats: Mindset, Money, and Starting Now

Can U.S. expats achieve FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early)?
Yes — but it takes more than spreadsheets.

In this powerful episode of Passport To Wealth™, host Arielle Tucker, EA, CFP® sits down with Blair Hoover, an expat financial independence coach who helps globally mobile professionals pursue wealth abroad — without losing the human side of money.

Blair shares her personal journey from being sold an expensive offshore insurance product to reaching financial independence in under ten years. Together, they explore why so many expats stay stuck in cash, how emotions and behavior drive financial outcomes, and why taking action before you feel “ready” can change everything.

If you're living overseas and wondering whether FIRE is possible for you — this episode is essential listening.

✔️ How Blair reached FI in her mid-40s
