In future posts I’ll regale you with tales of NZ’s unique parrot species Back to Reality Grumpus’s parents already know, as well as most of my friends. Not only that but since I broke the news to my siblings and parents a few weeks ago, there’s no reason why I shouldn’t share. Therefore, I want to share those lessons learned without engaging in a verbal kabuki dance. I’m learning lessons in real time (like the topic of this post) that may prove useful for my audience. That said, our planning for NZ is advanced enough that it’s time to share the news. Nor is it my definitive article on the Geoarbitrage benefits and/or drawbacks (or other benefits and/or drawbacks) of emigrating there.

This article is not Grumpus Maximus’s definitive post about how to plan an NZ retirement using a pension. This is Not the NZ Geoarbitrage Article You’re Looking For
Thus, I apologize if you feel like I just gave you a serious case of retirement planning whiplash. While some of my planning articles referenced the potential to move back to Mrs. All my retirement planning articles up to this point have included San Diego as the primary option. Confused? Maybe you thought we were headed to San Diego for retirement? That’s understandable. My second point is this: Surprise!? We might move to New Zealand. Arise young wizards and half-lings, a new day is about to begin! As a result, any plan to emigrate to NZ must incorporate the ability to study using the GI Bill. Plus, school is now an integral part of my plan to successfully transition to civilian life. In my mind, it’s stupid to waste the free-money the GI Bill represents. I had also decided I was going back to school to use the GI Bill myself. By that point (and I mean all of about six weeks ago), I had already decided to retire from the military without transferring my GI Bill to my kids. Grumpus and I decided we might like to emigrate to New Zealand after I retire from the military. More accurately put, I never thought to examine the idea until Mrs. Do you like my yoga pants? What’s the Point, Grumpus?ĭid you know the GI Bill can be used to study overseas? Neither did I until a few weeks ago. However, because I didn’t want people to confuse GIarbitrage with Gastro-Intestinal arbitrage (whatever that might be?), I stuck the (bill) part in the middle. Sounds a lot like the now infamous term Geoarbitrage used so heavily within the Financial Independence (FI) community, doesn’t it? It should because it’s a direct riff on the meaning of that word. It gets more clever still, but the meaning becomes less obvious if you drop the (bill) part and just go with GIarbitrage. You can’t see me, but right now I’m patting myself on the back. In any case, the term is GI(bill)arbitrage.Īs a play on words, it’s quite clever … if I do say so myself. When I run this article through Grammarly, I bet it will have a field day with this new word-term-thing I’ve created. What do you call a word with parens in the middle of it? Do the grammar police allow such nonsense? Probably not.
