<p>Geo-arbitrage only works when you measure real burn, not fantasy budgets. A lightweight tracking method beats complicated finance apps you abandon in week two.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Track five buckets</h2>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Housing</li>
|
||
<li>Food</li>
|
||
<li>Transport</li>
|
||
<li>Work infrastructure (coworking, SIM, cafes)</li>
|
||
<li>Friction (visas, replacements, bad-Wi‑Fi workarounds)</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Weekly review ritual</h2>
|
||
<p>Every Sunday, spend fifteen minutes categorizing expenses and noting surprises. Friction costs reveal whether a city is truly cheap or only advertised as cheap.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Compare cities fairly</h2>
|
||
<p>Normalize to a 30-day month and include the cost of reliable work conditions. A city that requires daily coworking to stay productive is not as inexpensive as the rent screenshot suggests.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Decision use</h2>
|
||
<p>If your tracking shows stress rising while buffers shrink, change the plan early. Data turns vague anxiety into a clear move.</p>
