You left the U.S., but Uncle Sam didn’t leave you.
In this video, I break down the surprising financial limitations Americans face when living abroad—from double taxation and FATCA to blocked pension accounts and denied bank access.
As an American living in Italy with Nigerian and Jamaican citizenship, I’ve had to navigate this first-hand. Whether you’re an expat, digital nomad, or simply considering life outside the U.S., this is what you need to know about the financial traps they don’t warn you about.
🧾 What I cover:
– The truth about FATCA and global banking access
– Why Americans can’t open retirement accounts abroad
– Why even “strong” passports can limit your freedom
– The hidden privilege (and penalty) of U.S. citizenship
– Why some “less powerful” passports might serve you better
