How do I build wealth as a young, Scandinavian expat in the UAE?

Working abroad can give you better opportunities and a larger paycheck, but are you maximizing the benefits? What should you think about before transferring money back home, investing in financial plans (be careful!), taking out a loan or saving up for early retirement?

We have managed to lock down one of the best names in the industry – Steve Cronin – founder of Dead Simple Saving and unbiased financial expert, with experience advising banks, sovereign wealth funds and expats on investment strategies and performance.

Steve will run an exclusive 2-hour workshop on Expat Saving & Investing, highly relevant for SBC Young Professionals as European expats in the UAE. 

The workshop will be engaging and interactive, covering topics such as:

• How to plan for financial independence (early retirement)

• How to track and improve your net worth

• How to maximize your savings

• How to manage cards & loans effectively in the UAE

• What to invest in as an expat & which platforms to use
