Your biggest expense is probably your zip code.

I ran the numbers on moving from San Francisco to Lisbon.

The Math

ExpenseSan FranciscoLisbonSavings
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?
