Start with the constraint that matters most: monthly spend
The cities below use planning ranges from your overseas retirement guide pages. A city qualifies for Step 1 when the selected budget falls within or above the city’s practical planning range.
What is your maximum monthly spending budget in USD?
Move the slider or type a monthly amount. This should include rent, food, healthcare reserve, utilities, local transportation, and normal leisure, but not major one-time relocation costs.
What lifestyle are you looking for?
This narrows the prior budget matches to cities where the chosen lifestyle tier is realistically supportable within your stated budget.
How important is healthcare depth?
If more than two cities remain, the decision tree asks for healthcare depth. This is especially useful for age 60+, chronic conditions, or late-life planning.
Your narrowed retirement city group
The final recommendations are ranked by fit against your budget, lifestyle, and healthcare preference. Use this as a routing layer to the individual city pages.
