Listener Question

How do immigrants should strategize investing when there is a real possibility of going back to home country because of work visa denial? Should we continue to invest in the states or invest offshore where we would retire? Thank you.

I have been living in the United States for 11 plus years now. Because I am an immigrant, I did not invest in 401k until 2015. But again, I was just contributing 6% to get employer match. I started my financial independence journey a year back. I maxed my 401k, contributed to Roth IRA. Thank you for the wonderful podcast to inspire millions of listeners.
