About these cities

About Gojra

Gojra is cheap enough to make a mockery of most expat budgets: a one-bedroom in the city center runs $160/mo, a mid-range single life lands at $370/mo, and a cappuccino costs $3. That price tag buys you a 22/100 cost of living index and a FIRE score of 76/100, but it also buys a safety index of 35/100, an air quality index of 165, poor healthcare, limited English, and a very small expat community. The 10 Mbps average internet and 43/100 digital nomad score should end any remote-work fantasy before it starts. Come for the arithmetic, not the lifestyle.

About Pakistan

Safety is the dealbreaker here: a Level 3 US travel advisory, negative political stability score, and no retirement visa, though a digital nomad visa is available. Only extreme-budget FIRE seekers should push past that, since $354.50/mo covers living costs and a 1BR in the center runs just $135.85. Everyone else should treat the 4/10 ease-of-access score as a hard stop.
