FIRE Geo Arbitrage

Geo arbitrage is one of the quiet powers of FIRE. Many people who reach financial independence find that expatriating, or simply living abroad for long stretches, gives them a lower cost of living, a better daily texture, or more of the things they care about. Some settle into one country; others move around the world, spending six months or a year at a time in different places and learning what each life feels like from the inside. The world is large, uneven, and full of offers.
