Anyone who moved back to your home country from the US (visa issues, life choices or otherwise)..can you please share experiences around transferring your $$$ from here e.g. 401k, savings. What was the process like? Any tips you can share would be helpful. I don’t have to make an immediate move but debating going back and living off deposit interest (still contemplating).

I’m a US citizen that moved to my husband’s home country. Not knowing the time horizon, I left everything in the US (which I was able to do as a citizen). Most financial accounts require a US address, so I’m using my parents’. I’ve maintained my US phone number, which is handy for 2-factor authentication when you can’t use an email. Maintaining my US credit card with no foreign transaction fees has been clutch since I can pay some local expenses in USD rather than transferring money.

this is the most complex part because the US government really, really doesn’t want you taking that money out earl

Transferring money out of your 401k in general is really difficult. I would talk to HR and see if they can provide you any advise as well.

Good morning my life and I hope you are doing well in the morning 🌄
