PINCH & PROSPER How it Works
Let's walk you through the basic process
1. Create your membership account (free to start, with valuable extras for subscribers)
2. Create your plan, choosing a single region or multi-region for expats, explorers, and dreamers. It’s easy
3. Fill in your plan with pertinent details
- We’ll guide you through this, and you can take your time adding & updating things over time to account for changes in your life, things you forgot, or new members (or pets) in the household
- Include the Assets, Liabilities, and Income Sources that you have now; or plan to have in the future such as age-based benefits. We’ll help get you started with a quick-pick lists of things common to many pepople based on your country or the country you plan to retire in
4. Refine details relating to fees, taxes, adjustors, etc. Again, we’ll help with this
5. Subscribers can review Deep Dives to find blind-spots, risks, or better understand how your choices; or changes in your economy; may impact the longevity of your plan
6. Over the year we’ll analyse subscriber plans and send you reminders of things you may want to consider. These are not upsells, just potential blind-spots that you can use to adjust your plan (Ex. You own your home, but you may not have planned for the cost of periodic roof replacemants, etc.)
Things you won’t need
- We will never ask you for details on your identity; although subscribers will have to provide payment details
- We will never ask you for your financial account details so don’t enter account numbers or anything else you feel should be kept private
