Journey To Launch

Episode 348: How A Teacher From The Bronx Moved To Abu Dhabi, Pays 0 Taxes & Had $17K of Student Loans Forgiven With Journeyer Cassandra Henry


Listen Later

Some of my most impactful conversations are with people who are in the thick of the journey, not just people who have reached Financial Independence. In today’s episode of Journey to Launch, I’m bringing back Cassandra Henry, a Journeyer who doesn’t have it “all figured out,” but is on an inspiring path toward financial freedom.

Cassandra, an Expat living in Abu Dhabi, was one of my first 1:1 financial coaching clients. She has paid down debt, moved abroad, and found that financial independence is a worthwhile goal no matter what your circumstances. 

We chat about gamifying your financial goals, paying zero taxes abroad, and having over $17k of student loan debt forgiven.

In this episode you’ll also learn more about:

  • Why living in Abu Dhabi is less stressful and how Cassandra is able to save money living abroad
  • How COVID almost made Cassandra quit teaching, but instead she pivoted to an international teaching role
  • The struggles of living across the world from family and the power of creating your own community
  • Public Student Loan Forgiveness, how financial independence allowed Cassandra to take care of her family, why investing even a small amount matters + more
