Will We Have Enough? Our Real 4-Year Budget to Retire in France

Описание: Welcome back to The Euro Pats! Today we’re opening up our notebooks, spreadsheets, and real-life numbers to share our full 4-year budget as we prepare for our move from Texas to France in 2030.

If you’ve been wondering:
👉 How much does it actually cost to prepare for a move to France?
👉 How do you save while still living your normal life?
👉 What does a realistic 4-year financial plan look like for retirees or near-retirees?

We’re breaking it all down — honestly, transparently, and without the fluff.

In this video, we cover:

🇫🇷 Our starting point (current savings + what we still need)
💶 Our yearly and monthly savings goals for the next 4 years
🏡 What we’re planning for housing, visas, and startup costs
🧳 The 2027 France scouting trip and how we’re funding it
📉 Cutting expenses, increasing savings & staying realistic
✨ How YouTube, Patreon & other side income fit into the plan
And as always — this is not financial advice, just the real story of a Texas couple planning their dream retirement abroad.
If you’re planning your own move overseas, or just curious what this process looks like behind the scenes, this video will give you a realistic and encouraging roadmap. ❤️
