What it's Like to Save Money and Live Better
Can you imagine living on a beach, in a bigger house, with more disposable income and more free time, doing work you enjoy? Julia Vitality, the guest on this week's episode, says stop dreaming--make this your reality. Julia and others like her are using a strategy called geoarbitrage: lowering their cost of living, usually by moving to a different town or country, to make their incomes go further. Julia -- a Ukranian-Canadian now living in Cancun, Mexico -- shares her fascinating life story, along with practical strategies and plenty of inspiration for anyone flirting with the idea of making a life change.
