The expensive thing isn't the plan. It's the first-year mistakes.
Not every man makes all six. But one of them costs more than this plan a hundred times over, and every one is avoidable if you know it's coming.
Now try your own number: what does your pension buy?

What buyers write
Who It's For
Honest about who should buy it, and who shouldn't.
For you if
- You're over 55 and seriously considering it
- You're starting again after a loss or a divorce
- You want honest numbers before you sell anything
- You'd rather meet someone through friends, classes and community than in a bar
Not for you if
- You're after nightlife or paid company
- You want someone to promise you a partner
- You need legal or tax advice: for that, use a professional
You've watched the videos. One bloke says he lives on $900 a month. Another says he's never been happier. A third says he lost everything and can't afford to come home.
The trouble is, nobody puts the whole picture in one place. What it really costs. Which city suits which kind of man. Which months will make you miserable. What to sort at home before you go. And where people actually meet: the videos only ever show the bars.
Next Stop puts the whole picture in one place, with a source and a date beside every number. Where a rule needs a professional, it says so and names one. Where a city carries a government travel warning, the warning comes first.
Fill in the calculator. If the plan isn't worth $47 + tax to you, get every cent back.
