Your Retirement Plan Has a Gap Nobody Talks About

Most retirement plans are built around one number: how long you think you'll live. And for expats, that number is almost always wrong. If you retire at 65 and plan for 20 years, you're planning to run out of money at 85. But if you're healthy and living an active expat lifestyle, you could easily see 95 — and that's a gap most people never stress-test until it's already a crisis. In this video I want to break down the five financial risks that quietly cause expats to outlive their money — the ones standard retirement calculators simply weren't built to catch. Here's what I cover: → The Longevity Miscalculation — why planning to 85 isn't enough when you might live to 95+ → The Inflation Blind Spot — how a frozen UK pension or fixed income collides with rising local costs → The Currency Risk Nobody Takes Seriously Enough — how a 15% exchange rate swing permanently cuts your income → The Healthcare Cost Escalation — why insurance premiums triple by your mid-70s, and why downgrading cover is one of the most damaging decisions you can make → The Sequence of Returns Problem — how bad investment timing early in retirement can permanently shrink your portfolioI close with a practical 4-question stress test you can run on your own plan right now — and why an honest answer to all four matters more than any spreadsheet. If the answers reveal gaps, that's exactly the conversation to have with an expat-specialised financial adviser. ✅ Jamie Lee is who I send people to: https://tinyurl.com/4wj66hmx Plan for reality.
