Setting a budget for relocation or retirement can be a difficult exercise.  Particularly in the post-COVID environment. It is nearly impossible to budget for every item since you may not be aware of some things that could be an expense in the future.  To help you with this process feel free to use our budget tool. 

This budget process is a snapshot in time. It is not scaled for payments on credit debt or increases in income over time. You should create various scenarios and save them or use the sheet to model these scenarios e.g. change your Social Security income to consider CPI increases and reduce your credit card debt or show a vehicle is paid off.

Retire Coasts RELOCATION BUDGET Spreadsheet contains several sections where you can enter budget data.  Download the spreadsheet to your computer to save your work. This article takes you through the sections of the budget tool.

CONCEPT OF BUDGETING FOR RETIREMENT

The day you create your budget and make final adjustments, is not the last you will see of it. This tool will be with you for some time. I have used the tool for my planning purposes and it helped me decide to relocate from California to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. 

Several friends and family used the tool to make critical decisions. One result was that several people that I know related to the Mississippi Gulf Coast almost exclusively based upon the numbers contained in the budget. Of course, there were other good reasons to relocate to the Coast as well but the numbers were the most important.
