You’re just showing this isn’t something you understand. Go back to my post you will see I stated CAGR. Then look at the exam question you need to show income of X from a passive source.

If a stock has grown 80% in 5 years. You pass the exam question with about 200k. Ish

It's clearly something that you don't understand. You've quoted some TLAs and made up some figures to suggest that £200,000 is sufficient to generate the kind of additional income over and above the state pension to allow someone to meet the income criteria to migrate to France, Spain, Greece, etc.
The figures don't stack up.
Growth is about 10% and dividends are only about 1.5%.

VWRL (Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF) is designed for total return through capital growth and moderate dividend income. It provides a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of roughly 9% to 11% over the long term, but offers a low dividend yield of just 1.5% to 2.0% per year.

I've already shown that about £500,000 capital would be needed to supplement a pensioner's income to required levels. To reach that sum over 10 years would require a monthly saving of about £3,000 per month over 10 years.
Something all pensioners could aspire to, you think?

To reach a target of £500,000 in 10 years using the Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF (VWRL), you would need to save approximately £2,600 to £3,000 per month, depending on the realized Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR).

Now that your nonsense has been exposed yet again, you're claiming others don't understand, because you're unable to substantiate your claims.

They simply couldn’t afford to retire anywhere

More nonsense. They could retire to any other EU country with just their state pension.

It's a tariff and quota free trade agreement. The requirement to fill out a form does not stop it being a free trade agreement.

They're called non-tariff barriers.
Non-tariff barriers (NTBs) are restrictive trade measures used by governments to limit imports or exports, excluding traditional taxes or duties. These function through regulations, standards, or bureaucratic red tape rather than financial penalties.

I don't dispute that, never have.

It's still a free trade deal.

Yes, it's a FTA with loads of additional expense. And the ability to add further expense or restrictions via the non-tariff barriers.
