πŸ‘‹ 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 🍜 βœ… Get accurate cost of living (ramen profitably) data for 387+ cities around the world βœ… 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! πŸ‘‡

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)

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
Charlie Ward
@ncameron good idea - will likely have some version in the 2.0!
Sam Cox
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
Charlie Ward
@sam_cox1 Thank you sir - yes according to the Numbeo data there are some surprises on there!
Johan Steneros
How is it better than nomad list?
Charlie Ward
@jsteneros it isn’t
Alex Christou
Nice one Charlie, good tool for scoping out the next indie beers spots right?
Charlie Ward

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.
Charlie Ward
@angefromaddmaple thanks a lot Ange! Haha will make an update
Harry Dry
Nicely designed C.Ward. β€œ90 eggs and 1 orange per day” made me laugh!
