Hi All,

I had another Financial Coaching and Moving to France call this week where the client mentioned they were concerned booking my services given my low rate of 100€ a hour, yet they said they were blown away by my knowledge on the call. They mentioned they had a call with a much less qualified service and paid 300€ for the call which made them hesitant to book time with me.

I have now heard this nearly a dozen times, so I have decided to increase my rate from 100€ an hour to 150€ an hour.

For existing clients, the new rate will apply from January 1st 2027. For new clients, the new rate starts on July 12th.

If you would like financial coaching in the United States or France or have a move planned to France and would like to talk to an expert, you can book an appointment here:

I do not have any staff, so when you book time, you book it directly with myself.

Kind Regards,

I’ve just updated my guide to Feather Insurance in France to include their new comprehensive healthcare plan.

If you're an expat moving to France or looking for insurance in France with English-speaking customer support, Feather is one of the best options available.

Their plans are designed specifically for expats living in France.

👉 https://www.mybestmoneylife.com/feather-expat-insurance-france

The article covers:

✅ Emergency visa-compliant health insurance
✅ Comprehensive visa-compliant health insurance
✅ Mutuelle (top-up health insurance) after registering with CPAM
✅ Homeowners insurance
✅ Renters insurance

Whether you're applying for a French visa or are simply looking for an English-friendly insurance provider, this guide explains the different options offered by feather.

If you decide to sign up for a Feather policy, send me a DM and I'll happily email you my exclusive €15 discount code.

So this morning I woke up to a sketch from a comedy scene in Rennes, France,

I looked out my window and my car which was parked across the street was gone and there was a sign stating no parking that was installed overnight for an event.

I called the street services department who suggested I call the police. The police suggested I call the impound lot as my car must have been towed.

I called the impound lot and they stated that the city forgot to put the no parking sign and that my car was moved to a different street in the city and I could find it there.

There was no fine as I was legally parked and there was no restriction when I parked yesterday afternoon.

I am a dual-citizen, but even this was a new one for me... the city can move your car even if you were legally parked if they decide to put up a no-parking sign overnight.

I am just glad I didn't get a 300€ fine for a tow, but thought I would share that even if legally parked, the city can "move" your car to somewhere else in the city if they change the rules at the last minute.

Hi All,

An item I have noticed is that most of my clients purchase their one-way tickets to France versus redeeming their miles.

While one-way tickets usually cost 75%+ of the round-trip fare, whereas using your miles is half the price of a round-trip ticket.

I wrote an article that highlights the different options for using miles to fly from the United States to France here:

https://www.mybestmoneylife.com/how-to-use-airline-miles-for-your-one-way-move-to-france-save-thousands-on-airfare

I personally used my Air France miles and my United miles when I made the move last summer.

Let me know in the comments if you used your miles to move to France.
