The Complete Return Planning Workbook

Description

The Complete Return Planning Workbook is the ultimate physical companion to the Leverage Abroad platform. It takes every calculator and transforms it into a guided exercise with space to write, reflect, and track your progress over time. The workbook includes: a 56-month countdown calendar where you can mark milestones, a savings rate tracker with monthly reflection prompts, a net worth snapshot template for quarterly updates, a debt payoff planner with avalanche/snowball comparison, a full return timeline projection worksheet, the Stay or Go assessment in printable form with scoring guide, and a monthly reassessment journal. The Notion template mirrors the workbook digitally — use both together for a hybrid planning system. This isn't just a PDF — it's a structured planning system that walks you through the entire return journey, step by step, with prompts that make you think honestly about your readiness.

Who it's for

Serious planners who want a structured, physical system for tracking their return journey. If you prefer writing things down over typing them into a screen, this is for you.

Why I made this

I tried planning my return entirely on screens — Notion, spreadsheets, the calculators. But something was missing. Writing things down by hand made the decisions feel more real. The workbook is the bridge between the digital tools and the physical act of planning.
