Decide without selling yourself the move
Compare ordinary life before paperwork makes the decision feel inevitable.
Start with fit, city routine, hard-season housing and financial runway. The useful result may be a smaller trial, a different city, a delayed move—or a confident yes with the expensive assumptions exposed.
Three moves, in order
- 01FIT
Write the non-negotiables
Work hours, health access, family needs, climate, language, transport and exit constraints come before lifestyle imagery.
- 02ROUTINE
Choose doors, not city reputations
Test the weekly routes, building, hard season and service access attached to an exact address.
- 03RUNWAY
Price a failed first attempt
Budget temporary housing, a second deposit, changed plans and an exit—not only the successful month.
Use your facts first
