Expatriating shouldn’t be a gut decision.
It’s just asking your heart to do some math.
Always free. Private. Nothing to sign up for.
Everyone else will tell you why to move to their country.
But will you benefit from doing that? Maybe, maybe not.
The Expat Scorecard method helps you decide whether the numbers are in your favor to move or stay, and whether the life abroad adds up — not just on paper, but in your heart.
That is something no brochure, no Facebook group, and no relocation seminar will help you answer.
Use the Scorecard to ask the quiet questions after the hype is done. You’ll be surprised at how satisfying a simple number can be to clear the way forward.
Score the life you have,
score the life you’re weighing,
and let the gap between them do the talking.
There are two ways to run it.
Twelve of the questions that move the needle most, your home weighed against the country on your mind. At the end you get one honest number — and a frank read on how much that number could still swing. Nothing saved, no email. Close the tab and it’s gone.
The full Scorecard runs 190 statements across cost, health, safety, food, pets, money, and the quiet questions of belonging and purpose — the ones that decide whether a move actually holds up. On the page to work through by hand, and an interactive online version for readers.
Completely private. Nothing is saved, nothing is downloaded, and you never enter an email. Close the tab and it is gone.
The Quick Scorecard is free and always will be. The Complete Scorecard grows a little sharper every year — and it comes with the book.
One honest method, applied one country at a time.

“Brilliant. He’s not pushing the country on me. He’s pushing the right way to make the decision.”
More books are coming on retiring in other Latin American countries, all built on the Scorecard system. Tell me which country you’d like covered. Name the one I’m writing now, and I’ll send you the Kindle free the day it publishes.
