Location Independence
Your biggest expense is probably your zip code.
I ran the numbers on moving from San Francisco to Lisbon.
The Math
| Expense | San Francisco | Lisbon | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rent | $3,500 | $1,200 | $2,300 |
| Food | $1,000 | $400 | $600 |
| Fun | $500 | $200 | $300 |
| Total | $5,000 | $1,800 | $3,200 |
That is an extra $38,000 per year invested. At 7% returns, that single decision could be worth $500k in 10 years.
Worth packing your bags?
