The Frugal Expat

The Frugal Expat

Saving, investing, and reaching financial independence one step at a time.


Hi my name is Steve. I am an American Expat living with my Australian wife in Taiwan teaching English. Four years ago, I wanted to do more traveling and realized money was something I needed to obtain. At that moment, I went down a rabbit hole of information that led me to a goal of seeking Financial Independence.

As I write, my goal is to help family and friends do better in finances. As I live as an American Expat, I have learned about living frugally, saving, and investing for my future.

My hope is take the lessons I have learned and show people that they too can make a better financial future for themselves. All they need to do is learn how to save better, invest, be frugal, and have financial goals to drive them to that finish line.
