Retire Abroad
Read full descriptionHide full description
Most investment apps tell you what your money is worth at home. This one tells you what it's worth somewhere else. Pick a destination — Tokyo, Lisbon, Mexico City, Bangkok, Madrid, Punta Cana — and your portfolio gets repriced in the local currency, then translated into the things money actually buys: months of rent, meals out, years of comfortable living. Portfolio. Your holdings in foreign currency, with daily and lifetime gains, and an FX context band showing how the currency itself moved. The chart scrubs to any date. Life. Pick a lifestyle — modest, comfortable, lavish — and see how long your portfolio lasts at that pace. A monthly budget. What bread, beer, and a one-bedroom cost. What a down payment looks like in pesos. Timeline. Scrub through the decades. See projected value at 55, at 59½, at 73, with accessible and locked accounts split out. No ads. No tracking. No upsells. Your data lives on your device. P.S. — Don't see your country? There's a feedback button inside. Tell us where you're going. We add countries based on what people ask for.
