My husband and I both want to move abroad. We just can't agree on how much money we should save first.
My husband and I know we want to move to the Netherlands, but we can't agree on how much money we should have in our bank account before we go.
Allison Lau and her husband share a desire to move to the Netherlands before their son starts kindergarten, yet they differ on how much money they should save beforehand. The husband believes they should build wealth first, then move, while the wife prefers moving first and resuming wealth-building afterward. They agreed to move to the Netherlands through the Dutch-American Friendship Treaty, which allows entrepreneurs to relocate a small business to the Netherlands and work toward residency.
However, buying a home without a full-time job in the Netherlands is challenging, and the rental market is expensive. A one-year lease for a livable two-bedroom apartment costs around 24,000 euros or $28,000. The couple has set a goal to move within three years, hoping one of their strategies will work out.
