The Real Cost of a Good Start

Living abroad can offer your family amazing opportunities, but the lifestyle, the schools, the support… it all adds up.

From nursery fees to overseas university tuition, helping your children build a strong future isn’t just about love and good intentions. It’s about having a plan – one that doesn’t sacrifice your own financial security in the process.

In this episode, senior adviser Paul Butler breaks down what it really costs to raise a family abroad, and how expats can stay in control of both their kids’ future and their own.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• What a “good education” really costs – and why it’s more than just fees
• How support after university impacts your own long-term goals
• The most common mistakes expat parents make with money
• How to balance opportunity with boundaries – for your kids and your budget
• Why saving isn’t enough – and how to invest smarter for long-term needs

Paul shares real-life scenarios and straight-talking advice based on 30+ years helping expat families avoid financial blind spots and build sustainable plans.

The Sooner You Plan, the Fewer Sacrifices You Make

This episode will open your eyes to the real costs – but a personalised plan is how you take action.

If you’re serious about giving your kids the best start without putting your own future at risk, now’s the time to talk to an adviser. We’ll help you build a strategy that works today and still delivers tomorrow.
