Financial Independence Calculator - How early can you 🍹retire if you move to another place?

by

Considering retiring early? Moving to another place might make sense.

Cost of living varies wildly around the world and if the return on your investment is bigger than your spending, it means you can retire there.

This tools tells you where you can retire early.

What about inflation?

@fredrikaurdal You generally want to use a annual rate in this calculator that reflects the on your diversified investment portfolio reduced for inflation. That means a 6% expected return with 2% inflation is 4%. That’s also generally mentioned as the Safe Withdrawal Rate, which is a rate highly probably to not lose your principal investment from.

I'm really impressed by this, it is extremely thought provoking and it is a neatly executed product so far which I'm sure will Pieter will continue to develop brilliantly. My only feedback was it shined a spotlight for me on the accuracy of the data for "family" supporting nomads. An isolated example being the cost of living in Lake Tahoe, $2,338 p/m for a single nomad, $1,771 p/m for a family?

@guilliatt That's a bug due to some missing data. Will reload the data set now!

Is this really a lot of people's goal in the nomad community? To move somewhere remote and retire at 40? Curious, what do people plan to do with their time? I think a lot about this because I'm always surprised by these billionaire founders who continue to work when they could easily retire on a yacht and sip margaritas for the rest of their lives.

@mikefiorillo I don’t think anyone who retires early does that any longer. Instead, it’s people that may continue to work but with less or no need for income. That means they can focus on creative pursuits or volunteer work instead of the rat race.

@levelsio I'm with you... aka "f$ you" money 😬

Any chance of adding support for starting at a negative net worth? Some of us are stuck with non-dischargeable student loans to pay off for the first few years at least but it would be cool to see how paying that back would alter the curve.

@jim_zhou Great suggestion.. that's a huge chunk of the population
