Thinking About Retiring Abroad? Watch This Interview Before You Move To Danang Vietnam!

What does it really take to retire abroad? Today we’re in Da Nang, Vietnam, sitting down for an honest, no-nonsense conversation with Evan, a Canadian expat who has lived and worked abroad for nearly two decades and retired early in Vietnam. Evan shares his real-world experience living in Ho Chi Minh City, transitioning into early retirement, and why geo-arbitrage in Southeast Asia made financial independence possible far earlier than it ever would have back home in North America. In this episode, we cover: ➔ What most people get wrong about retiring abroad ➔ Why visas are NOT the biggest factor in a successful move ➔ How much money you realistically need to retire in Vietnam ➔ Social life, community, and culture shock after retirement ➔ Da Nang vs Ho Chi Minh City for expats and retirees ➔ Language barriers, lifestyle tradeoffs, and daily realities ➔ Why “testing a country first” can save you from costly mistakes If you’re thinking about retiring overseas, living abroad, or exploring the FIRE lifestyle outside the U.S. or Canada, this conversation will give you clarity you won’t get from typical highlight-reel videos.
