Customizable "Couples" / Personalized Budget Matrix

Product feedback/feature idea regarding cost calculations: right now, the platform splits budgets into Nomad, Expat, Local, and Family. However, a massive cohort of users travel as couples.

When couples try to use the site, the math gets clunky. Doubling the Nomad cost is way too high (since housing is shared), but using the single Expat/Nomad metric leaves out a second person's daily expenses (food, transport, coworking). The "Family" tier overshoots because it factors in multiple bedrooms or schooling.

The Idea: A "Personalized" / Couples Cost Dynamic Filter

Instead of creating a rigid "Couples" static tier, you could introduce a Personalized toggle or setting in the user profile/sidebar where users can define their specific household baseline.

For example, a user could set:

  1. Baseline Tier: (Select: Nomad / Expat / Local)

  2. Lifestyle Multiplier (%): A slider or input field (e.g., adding +40% to the baseline to instantly account for a partner's daily lifestyle burn without doubling the rent metric).

Once set, the entire site's cost column dynamically updates to display their Personalized Cost across all city listings.

This gives couples (and even small friend groups or families with unique dynamics) an instant, highly accurate view of their actual burn rate without having to manually do the math or guess on every single city card.
