9 more cities — plus the calculator that runs your real rent, food, and healthcare against all 12 — inside the toolkit
Starting estimates from our own research (as of July 2026), for a one-bedroom, one person or a couple. Real costs vary with how you live. The full breakdown for every city — rent, food, healthcare, and the honest tradeoffs — is inside the toolkit.
I’m not writing to you from a remote destination. I’m writing from the same place you probably are — I did the math on my own life, realized the numbers didn’t work anymore, and started looking for a real way out. Not an idea or a fantasy. A plan.
I notice a lot of people talk about leaving, but for most it stays a thought, a dream, or a “someday when I retire.” I’m not one of those folks. I’m sitting here just like you — looking to actually make this work.
I built The Way Out Plan because I needed it to exist and couldn’t find what I was looking for. I’m doing this in real time, funding my own move as I go, and bringing you everything I find along the way — which means you get the truth, not a highlight reel of only the good stuff.
If you’re where I was, you’re in the right place.
