5) Retirement Planning

What if you leave the U.S.?

• Your 401(k) and IRA do not disappear if you move to another country. You can keep them in the U.S. and let them grow for decades.
• If you invest $500 a month starting at age 25, by age 65 (assuming 8% growth), you would have over **$1.5 Million**.
• When you retire in your home country, you can withdraw the money. Most countries have "Tax Treaties" with the U.S. so you aren't taxed twice.
