The Ramen Index - Find the cheapest cities to live off your startup revenue 🍜

👋 Hey makers, Charlie here from Ramen Club. I wanted to introduce The Ramen Index, a fun, up to date directory of the cheapest (and most expensive) cities to live ramen profitably off your startup revenue. "Ramen profitable means a startup makes just enough to pay the founders' living expenses." – Paul Graham 😱 The problem ❌ Makers want to find cheap(er) cities to travel and live in to build their startup ❌ But it can be time consuming figuring out the *total* cost of living there *cheaply* (aka 'ramen profitable'). 🍜 Introducing The Ramen Index 🍜 ✅ Get accurate cost of living (ramen profitably) data for 387+ cities around the world ✅ Up to date as of November 2024 from Numbeo, the most trusted cost of living data source Sourced from thousands of submissions to Numbeo.com Thanks to my friend and Ramen Club member @ssp6sean for all the help making this, couldn't have done it without you! This always inspires a healthy debate, so let me know what you think in the comments! 👇

Congrats on the launch @charlierward 🚀

How is it better than nomad list?

Interesting - I wouldnt have expected to see parts of Montenegro and Italy with a low figure, good to know for the future! Good luck with the launch

Nice one Charlie, good tool for scoping out the next indie beers spots right?

Great stuff, will be checking this out for sure! 🔥🔥🔥

Nicely designed C.Ward. “90 eggs and 1 orange per day” made me laugh!

Love it, what a great idea!

Looks dope, would love to see it combined with quality of life (0-5) and ease of getting visa (0-5), so you can see which cities are cheap and also liveable / desirable

Wow actually useful!!!

Loved it, congrats @charlierward on the launch 🙌

Love this! Simple way to look at everything quickly. NomadList is great, but it needs a challenger now that everything is paywall'd. Apparently I'm writing this from the cheapest city in North America (Quebec City)

Love this Charlie and Ramen Club! Legends. Ljubljana ranks 84th in Europe! Nice one. I love the bags of rice, eggs and 1 orange. In Slovenia there are free range chickens too, so you could perhaps lower your egg costs 🤣 if you know a farmer. Super helpful.
