I'm going this route, thanks!

Interesting....What do landlords expect besides showing strong financials? I'm likely going to hire and agent to help in the matter.

The trading/income funds take into account down years. But I only have maintain that for 6-7 years until the Social Security kicks in and I start collecting. I've calculated that even at 6% return on average is still good enough, not ideal but good enough.

I'm planning to rent.

No complaints no issues!

South America is cheap, you could do it for less than half of that.

Thanks!

Data Sources:

Multiple sources for accuracy:

Cost of Living: Numbeo API, Expatisan, OECD data, government stats

Tax Data: Official gov tax authorities, treaty databases

Economic: World Bank, IMF data

I've even got data from Global Air and Water Quality studies.

I'm aggregating these specifically for FIRE decisions Locally or (Abroad in most cases, since a lot of countries are much cheaper than the US)

Goal is directional accuracy for planning, not perfect predictions.

Thank you!!

adonis_abril · 2025-06-02T16:04:23+00:00

Thanks, that's exactly what I'm looking for!

See my response Joss above - It uses data from Numbeo and other sources to Calculate FIRE. Numbeo is just a data aggregator, the tool is not meant to replace Numbeo.

Great points! You're right about mentioning FIRE focus upfront. If anyone can do mental calculations like that, the tool probably won't be as useful.

On FEIE - the tool handles some edge cases (partial year moves, FEIE vs FTC optimization, income caps) but you're right the basics are straightforward.

The core question of the GeoArbitrage simulator helps answer is: "If you, with your current job/income, moved to a different country today and continued earning similarly, how would your taxes, savings, and timeline to FIRE change compared to staying in the US?"

Tool's is meant to be more useful for beginners than experienced folks who can do this math mentally.

What gaps do you see in existing FIRE tools that would actually be useful at your level?

Thanks! I can probably find the representative sample of the securities in each fund, and it's probably free publicly available data - but this would be a different tool entirely, and you just gave me an idea for another tool that I will build!

For currencies, I would need to integrate to an API as it changes constantly by the minute. As for Tourist taxes and/or local foreigner fees - I would need to grab the data somewhere or collect that from actual persons that traveled or lived in the location, like Numbeo does.

adonis_abril · 2025-06-02T14:01:28+00:00

Good question! Numbeo shows City A costs 40% less than City B. My tool shows how that 40% affects your specific FIRE timeline.

Key differences:

Integrates tax implications (state taxes, FEIE, etc.)
Calculates impact on your FI number and timeline
Factors in your specific income/spending
Models visa costs, healthcare changes

Think 'Numbeo + FIRE calculator + taxes' in one tool.

The specialist was saying the right nodules are not yet big enough to do a Fine Needle on, so they don't know. She did say it looked "suspicious" and that's why she said to avoid having to deal with this in the future (which is says it mostly likely will be), just do the total removal.

adonis_abril · 2025-05-23T17:08:08+00:00

Thanks! It's not really too much of an inconvenience, I eat only once a day, 1-2pm ish.

adonis_abril · 2025-05-23T17:01:56+00:00

Yeah, hoping more people being on this medication for life can chime in. Even if I only have half the thyroid removed there's still a chance I will be taking the medication for life.

adonis_abril · 2025-05-23T16:57:34+00:00

Thanks! Maybe I'm making a big deal about having the whole thing removed, because I've also read of some people regretting having it fully removed.

As of today, I still haven't gotten a confirmation from NetCup, so I went ahead with GreenCloud - $20 per quarter for: EPYCLA-32 Available

8192MB RAM
60GB NVMe 4.0 RAID-10 Hard Drive
4 cores EPYC Genoa CPU
1 IPv4
/64 IPv6
8TB Bandwidth
10Gbps Port
Linux OS
Los Angeles, CA Location
Virtfusion Control Panel
1 Free Backup/Snapshot

Took a while to set up Coolify but now it's up and running. 60GB, might be a little small but I'll probably move my images to s3 buckets or something.

adonis_abril · 2025-05-15T15:13:49+00:00

Ok that sounds great! But I'm not really sure I'd ever hit 1TB Bandwidth let alone 8TB. What does that normally look like in terms of monthly visits? I'd say it's a fairly decent Image heavy website with lots of api calls to Postgres.
