Plan With Purpose
Retire With Confidence
Written by Thomas Sleep,
Founder of My Intelligent Investor
A qualified financial adviser with over a decade of cross-border experience, this guide is built on real expat scenarios, not theory. You’ll learn strategies used by expats to keep more of what they’ve earned, wherever life takes them next.


This guide is drawn from years of real conversations with expats across the Middle East, the ones juggling family, career, and long-term goals without a clear roadmap.
Inside, you’ll find the exact strategies I use to help people like you structure their pensions, grow wealth in stronger currencies, and plan confidently for life beyond the region.
In this eBook you will learn about...

Delay Costs More Than You Think
Start saving at 35 and the target is $3,000/month. Wait until 50 and it jumps to over $14,000. This guide shows how putting off your plan just a few years can wreck your chances of retiring comfortably, and what to do about it now.
What’s Your
Number?
Most people have no idea how much they actually need in wealth and assets to retire. This guide helps you calculate it clearly, based on your lifestyle, location, and goals, so you can build towards it with confidence.
Earning Big,
Drifting Fast
Many expats live and earn well but lack direction. No structure, no pension, no clear target. This guide helps you spot the cracks in your financial plan and gives you a path to convert your tax free income into long-term freedom for you and your family.
Forgotten Pensions, Lost Potential
One in five pensions is lost, with even more completely unmanaged. Yours could be underperforming, overpriced, or completely off track. This guide shows how to review, restructure, and get them working for your future.
Tax Always
Catches Up
Thinking you’ll “deal with tax later” or "tax won't apply to me" is the costliest assumption expats make. With no structure, retirement income can be taxed at our highest marginal rates. This guide shows how to protect yourself before it’s too late.
More Than
Just Investing
Markets matter, but they’re not enough. This guide reveals the three pillars of proper retirement planning, growth, pension strategy, and protection, so no part of your plan is left to chance.
