Show HN: I built Expatria to help engineers choose the best country to retire

https://expatriaonline.com/dashboard/

Hi HN, excited to share a data-driven product that can help everyone, especially engineers, retire earlier and more affordably. Work on the projects you are passionate about, that give you life, instead of grinding away at a job you don’t like.

The world is a big place and there is a lot of data scattered all across the internet; there are over 60 different countries you can move to, whether its through real-estate investment, passive income ‘pensioner’ visas, buying a second passport or parking money in a country’s bank for a couple of years. All of these countries have different costs of living; there is a financial calculator for you to benchmark your lifestyle & expenses, then compare how much you would save against over a thousand different cities. I live in Seattle, so Lord knows its pricey up in here; after seeing firsthand how I could spend three times less money per month living in other countries, it was hard to unsee the Matrix so to speak.

You can access the platform at the link below, and it will immediately launch into a tour.

Platform: https://expatriaonline.com/dashboard

There are a couple of other tools; 1. A Chrome extension called Riverlake that will help you save real-estate listings from platforms across the internet to your Expatria profile for review later. Basically, a tool to help centralize your hunt for international real-estate. 2. Understanding what your current passports visa-free travel options are, and what a potential second passports visa-free travel looks like. 3. A fun achievements system; when you visit a country’s page for the first time (or a city within that country) you will unlock that country’s achievement; each one is hidden by a clue, but you can quickly navigate to them using the Cmd + K command palette built in. I think it’s more fun to use the world atlas, but some countries are so small (like Singapore) that it can be hard to track them down. 4. Embedded Ernst & Young documentation for a given country, embedded CIA Facebook for historical and political data, beautiful hi resolution photos for every country in ‘Daydream’ mode. 5. Comprehensive personal and corporate tax rates for almost every single country.

There is an unauthenticated free tier, but to get full access to the platform is a monthly or annual subscription. Use promo code THANKYOUHN for a free month that unlocks all the countries, immigration programs, cost of living tools and more; you will also be able to join the community slack channel to offer feedback, request features & research to be added. I’ve gotten so much value from reading Hacker News over the years, this is my little way of saying thanks.

In our immediate backlog, we are focusing on launching an online social lounge for members at the end of January, and in the intermediate term to fill in the blanks on many of these government immigration policies. Every program is linked back to official government documentation, but we are working on adding step by step, document by document requirements to help you move things along in an orderly manner.

Would love to hear feedback from the community here, or by sending me an email at [email protected]

Cheers! Michael ‘Misha’ https://calendly.com/michael-expatriaonline/30min
