377: Building an International Plan-B While Still Living in the U.S.
What’s it really like to build a full international Plan-B while still living in your home country, especially when you’ve got a family to think about? One client of mine, Ryan, has done exactly that. While married with four kids, he’s methodically built offshore investments, is in the process of securing second residencies, and has positioned his family for long-term freedom and security… all before making the move abroad. His story proves that protecting your future doesn’t require running; it requires planning.
In today’s episode, my colleague Marc Clair sits down with Ryan to discuss how he and his wife are creating a life of global freedom for their family, from diversifying into international real estate and pursuing residencies in Latin America to choosing jurisdictions that protect their children’s education and values. It’s an honest look at the practical steps you can take to protect your family’s future, even before you’re ready to give up life in your home country.
IN TODAY’S EPISODE:
- Tune in to hear Ryan describe the moment he and his wife realized their interest in other countries had shifted from “adventure” to a necessity to protect their family’s freedom and future.
- Listen in as Ryan breaks down how they built their family’s offshore Plan-B while still living in the U.S.
- Learn how Ryan’s family incorporated learning Spanish together as part of their transition plan to a life in Latin America.
- Find out why Ryan and his wife ultimately chose to build their Plan-B around Latin America instead of Europe.

Gold in the Caribbean—No Bank Can Touch It
Fiat is failing. Banks are cracking. And smart investors are moving their gold offshore—outside the system. I’ve partnered with a fully insured private vault in the Caribbean where you can buy, store, and protect physical gold… legally and securely. The entire account opening is done online—fast, private, and no nonsense. If you’re serious about protecting your wealth, get the details now at ExpatMoney.com/gold
