Illustrative cost-only screening estimate for one fixed reference profile (a US remote worker earning $90,000/yr and spending $45,000/yr). Taxes and treaties, visa eligibility and costs, FX, local inflation, and sequence-of-returns risk are excluded from the timeline and reference cost order. Tax and visa context requires a personal check. Do not use this as an after-tax FIRE, legal-eligibility, financial, tax, or immigration decision.
