George Kinder: Redefining Retirement and Purpose for US Expats

George Kinder, internationally recognized as the father of the Life Planning movement, joins Arielle Tucker, CFP®, EA on Passport to Wealth™ for a transformative conversation about money, purpose, and living intentionally abroad.
Kinder is the founder of the Kinder Institute of Life Planning and the author of 12 books, including the groundbreaking The Seven Stages of Money Maturity, Lighting the Torch, and Life Planning for You. His pioneering work has inspired thousands of advisors and clients worldwide to center financial planning on people’s deepest values and life goals rather than just portfolios and spreadsheets.
In this episode, George shares his own expat journey of relocating to London at age 77 on the prestigious UK Innovator Founder Visa, proving it’s never too late to start a bold new chapter. He discusses his philosophy of “fiduciary in all things,” the three life-changing questions he’s known for, and why mindfulness and intentionality are at the core of financial and personal fulfillment.
For US expats and globally minded Americans, this episode offers a powerful reminder: true wealth is about aligning your money with your life’s purpose.
