Know your options to retire abroad

Common questions

Do you factor in Social Security?

Yes. We calculate your estimated Social Security benefit based on your income and your planned claiming age — 62, 67, or 70. Your assessment shows exactly when SS kicks in, what it adds to your monthly income, and how it changes the picture country by country.

What if I haven't saved much yet?

The assessment is honest about that. Some countries are genuinely affordable on Social Security alone — parts of Latin America and Southeast Asia have mid-range costs well under $1,500 a month. We show you the real numbers so you can plan around what you actually have.

Do you account for a partner's finances?

Yes. If you select 'with my partner' in the onboarding, cost estimates throughout the assessment are adjusted for two people. Country matches, budget breakdowns, and visa information all reflect your situation as a couple.

Do you store my financial information?

No, seriously. Your financial details — salary, portfolio balance, home value — are encrypted in your browser before they ever leave your device. We store only the encrypted ciphertext. The encryption key never touches our servers and is never stored by us. Even if our database were breached, your financial data would be unreadable. The only copy of your key is in your browser.

How do you pick my matched countries?

We score all 35+ countries in our database against your answers — budget, healthcare priorities, climate preference, English language importance, and whether you're moving solo or with a partner. Your matches are the countries that score highest for your specific combination of priorities.

What do I get for $29?

A personalized retirement abroad assessment built entirely from your answers. You get: your top country matches with full deep dives into budget, visa, cities, and healthcare; a financial runway chart showing your portfolio draw, Social Security timeline, and monthly surplus by country; a move timeline built around your specific window; and a chapter on the gotchas — the things most people don't find out until they're already there. Instant access, yours to keep.

How long does it take to get my assessment?

Your assessment is available immediately after you complete the onboarding questions — about 15 questions that take less than 5 minutes. Answer them honestly and your personalized assessment is ready instantly.

Can I come back to my assessment later?

Yes. Your assessment is saved to your account and accessible anytime you log in with the email you used at purchase.

Is this only for people about to retire?

Not at all. Some people who buy this assessment are years or even decades away from retirement — just exploring what's possible. Knowing what it would actually cost to retire comfortably abroad changes how you think about saving, investing, and what early retirement might look like. It's never too early to know your options.

Do you use AI to generate my assessment?

No. Your assessment is built by an algorithm we designed based on expert research — not AI. Every recommendation, country match, and financial calculation comes from a rules-based system we built and control. The result is consistent, defensible, and based on real-world data, not a language model guessing.

Is this financial or legal advice?

No. Our assessments are a starting point for educational purposes only. Always consult qualified professionals before making financial, tax, or immigration decisions.

Can I get a refund?

Yes — we offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Email us if you're not happy and we'll refund your purchase.
