6-Question Country Filter — Expat on a Budget

How to use this: Type up to 6 countries you're considering. For each question, click YES or NO honestly. Your totals update automatically. A country needs all 6 to be a real contender. If it doesn't pass — stop romanticizing it.

The Filter	Country 1	Country 2	Country 3	Country 4	Country 5	Country 6
Question 1 Can You Get In? Is there a visa you actually qualify for right now — not theoretically, actually?
Question 2 Can You Afford It, Really? Does your guaranteed income cover the real cost of living in the specific city you'd live in?
Question 3 Will It Keep You Alive? Is healthcare accessible, affordable, and competent — especially for what shows up after 50?
Question 4 Can You Live Without a Car? Is the city walkable? Is there real public transit? Can you be independent at 65, 75, alone?
Question 5 Will You Be Lonely? Is there a real community — expat groups, classes, meetups — or will you sit alone for six months?
Question 6 Does It Pass the Tuesday Test? Can you picture a boring, ordinary day there — and feel at peace? Not the vacation. The life.
