GeoPension™ = Geography Pension

GeoPension is our city-by-city framework for affordable retirement abroad—helping you choose locations where Social Security + savings go further.

  • Lower housing + healthcare costs without sacrificing quality of life
  • City-level comparisons (because people move to Mérida vs Playa del Carmen…not “Mexico”)
  • Evidence-based research with real numbers, not hype

Is This Your Retirement Reality?

The dream of a comfortable retirement is getting harder to reach. With rising costs, uncertain markets, and healthcare worries, many Americans feel like their options are shrinking. You’ve worked hard your whole life—you deserve more than just ‘getting by.’

That’s why I teach the GeoPension approach—using geography to rebuild a stable retirement plan with real numbers and realistic destinations.

What if you could cut your cost of living in half, access world-class healthcare for a fraction of the price, and live a life filled with adventure and community? At Affordable Retirement Abroad, we turn that ‘what if’ into a reality. We are your trusted guide to a richer, more fulfilling life overseas.

A Better Future Is Waiting.
