Cheapest Countries to live | Living on 1000 a month LUXURIOUSLY

[@ArvinAsh]

See part 2 of this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5Osq6RpYtd3idk -- where I talk about countries for expats with a slightly higher budget.

[@kathrynstewart-mcdonald]

Very pleased you liked the comments, my father was with the United States Department of State United States Agency for International Development as a Foreign Service Officer, and later with US Dept of Interior in Micronesia, we lived everywhere. He also published tourist maps. We had many privileges including Diplomatic Passports, as an adult many of my friends were Peace Corps or Americans teaching abroad or photographers and explorers. All had the same issues I mentioned but a few things everyone can related to, peanut butter in South Korea was 12.00, Dial Soap is difficult to find, laundry detergents are not the same as ours, if you have allergies it is almost impossible to find certain detergents. Many street vendors are not regulated and should be observed , go to those with the most customers, not the man with the short line. Mosquito repellent is hard to find. I also noticed even living with family or my late husband that you must be cautious not to move in a house with lead pipes, to this day many houses have lead pipes. Hope this helps.

Shows how racist the United States is. I am on Social Security and i`m a Israelite Jew Black man. They only give me $838.00 a month. They just bumped it up to $907.00 this year. An i`ve been on this for 15 years. So when you say Average. I take it you mean only white people. Because i know South American Americans and Mexican Americans are not getting this.

[@ArvinAsh]

@@WarsunGames I’m not denying that racism doesn’t exist in the USA but SS is not. what you receive from SS is 100% dependent on how much money you contributed into the system during the time you were working. If you didn’t contribute as much during your working days as average, you will receive less than average.

I live in Goa on the West Coast of India (my wife is a Goan). When we moved here I bought a house and two cars and now live on around 350 to 400 dollars a month. English is very common, indeed most educated people prefer to speak English. The real joy was that moving to India meant that I could retire at age 54. That was 10 years ago.

However, you have to be married to an Indian national to live permanently in India. That makes a difference, especially an already married couple...

Moved to Croatia last summer just before I turned 26. This country is highly underrated: Low cost of living ✔ Perfect weather ✔ Friendly people and beautiful places ✔ I'm living like a king on about $700/month. I Teach English Online from my bedroom for about $21/hour (which is about 3x what an engineer here makes). I work from 10 a.m. til 2 p.m. on the days I feel like it, then I go to the beach, and then I play basketball 🏀 for a local semi-pro team at night. Life is good! 👌

I live in Philippines, my rent is about $134 a month, its 7,000 pesos, i moved in right after it was constructed, so bran new place, it has 3 br, 2bath and of course small living room and kitchen...all for 7,000p. So if you tell people it is $400 a month for rent, you did not do your homework. Most of decent places charge $192 monthly, it is 10,000p . Nice places...$400 is like you live in palace. Retired man never needs this expensive living.

[@mukashibanashi123]

I think you're right … $400 is definitely a lot. (Maybe true if staying in a selected duplex condo within Makati for instance,...I guess.) In a province it's way less and closer to your $134.

It's a nice place to retire, but as you say, you need a higher budget. Can you let us know how much of a budget someone needs to live very comfortably?

[@ronaldphillips5797]

Hola Arvin, well that depends on where you’re living. San Jose or places close to the capital will cost you a little more. But I living in a small community about an hour from the city, I’d say a single person can live here just on a Social Security income. But I think you should check out the guy on KZbin “travel Costa Rica now”. If it gets to expensive here, I’ve got Panama as my fall back place, love that country too. To old to be coming back to spend, spend, spend USA.

[@ralphgelwicks3679]

$1500 min to live as a single in the city with the least amount of comfort but acceptable. $2500 and up to have a better lifestyle. Of course one can live with around $1000 but rice and beans and sharing rent and like surviving.

[@TinaSotis]

Going to try Costa Rica. Going down there in May, the beginning of the rainy season, I know, and then I'll be volunteering at the Jaguar Rescue Center for 2 months. I figured that's a nice long time to get to know Caribbean side of Costa Rica, make some new friends, and probably connections to cheaper living. All my research showed that Costa Rica isn't as expensive as some say. but I'm looking on the Caribbean side, and everyone else is on the Pacific side or near San Jose.

I went to Bolivia, and trust me, I met one person who spoke English. Just one.

[@Ereeleese]

Haha I'm from Bolivia and you are right! not a lot of people speak English, not even in like the most touristic places, but i don't know if you got to visit Samaipata, i think maybe that's the only touristic place in Bolivia where you can find english speakers, it's a very small town where a lot of people (mostly europeans) have moved to retire there in the last decades, i saw this video because it showed Bolivia in the thumbnail and i thought they would mention it, but it's not that much of a "famous" destination, at least not as much as the Salar haha, anyway i hope you get to come back some day!

[@feardheas4548]

@@Ereeleese id say the level of education in general is poor. well they say spanish is easy to learn??

[@jorgeluisburgoacosio9998]

True just a few people on the streets speak English here in Bolivia, Samaipata is a well known retirement little town, education it's kinda poor on the people who walks and work in the street but because most of the time those people are from public education schools and few didn't even graduate and most of them never get to the university, most of the people who speak English are from private schools and got university degrees, I'm from Santa Cruz, the we are the economic center of the country and the expensier city to live in and 1000$ actually its a great income for a family on a retirement single or couple will give them a wealthy lifestyle here and as you go to cheaper cities those 1000$us are more money, to put it in perspective a minimum salary its around 300$us and a single person can live the month with it (not comfy or wealthy) from 500$us and above the life in Bolivia gets really easy for a single person or couple, and yes Cochabamba it's cheaper and the culinary capital of the country #HighlyRecomended stay on the big cities if you need special health care often. Good luck and welcome to Bolivia if you decide to come 😎👍🏻

[@JERios-wv8lx]

They don t just speak Spanish...their Amerindians have their own language...In addition the Menonite community only speak German. (Some of them also speak Spanish.)

[@Ereeleese]

@@feardheas4548 Yeah the education level is very poor, more specifically in public schools, the difference between these and private schools is huge, one of the consequences of this is that people that can't afford private schools are more likely to just don't go to school, I think like 40% of young people (mostly poor) nowadays don't finish school...So I think that's a reason why it will be very difficult for a tourist to find someone on the street that happens to speak english, so yeah if you get to come some day it would be better to learn just a little bit of spanish, just in case you wanna talk to random people and go around on the streets asking about things to buy o things to eat or things like that, if you come exclusively for just one place to visit, then just getting a good tourist agency will be enough as they're very likely to have someone that speaks english, I mentioned Samaipata before because i believe it's the only touristic place where it would be easy to find someone that speaks english on the street or a restaurant and such...sorry if this was a little bit to long haha

I live in the USA very well on my Social Security. I only worked 3 months a year from 1982 to 2018 when I retired at age 62. I get $800 a month, but only spend about 1/2 that to live, I rent 3-6 months of the year and travel the rest. But I travel by Bicycle and have since 1982, I have never driven or had a license to. Yet, I have been all over North America, including Alaska and Canada by bike covering about an average of 5,000 a year. I am now going on 64. When I travel by bicycle, I stay in a small two person tent, stay away from campgrounds where I have to pay, I carry all my gear which adds up to about 15 lbs. I live and travel in the northen part of the USA in summer and in the desert southwest in winter. I like to wear shorts and a tshirt year round and only have two pais of pants, one light nylon then other are rain pants. I have just one sweater. I wear sandals most of the time, but have hiking shoes for more aggressive outdoor activities in the mountains.

[@johnny1556]

You are blessed to be doing something you love and enjoy some people don't have that motivation. And to retire at that age and only getting that amount every month and survive on that in the way that you live of course is possible. But for the average person is a struggle and we all looked to live comfortable when we retire and you have been doing that I'm glad that you found a way. I been retire 9 months and I am getting 14,000 and I struggle with that each month in the North East of this beautiful country. Probably because I am helping to pay for the mortgage and other utilities with my wife but we are looking to see if we can retire abroad and have a simple life. I appreciate what you have written, it's another way of looking how to live comfortable and affordable but each of us just have to pick the style that suits us best and live the dream.

In case of emergencies. How far/ close is it to your homeland in case you have to leave in a hurry or relatives has to visit. Fourth What is the mentality of the police regarding your basic human rights. Health Care Facility. Is it adequate and close-by?. Fifth. Criminality. Can you walk safely alone late at night? Sixth. The Weather. Are there earthquakes hurricanes typhoons etc. Seventh? Do you have to burn your garbage or is it collected? These are the things I looked at. I had the choice between the Philippines Thailand Panama and Spain. It was a toss-up between Panama and Spain for me I prefer Panama but Spain is closer to my homeland.

I live in the Philippines and have lived here about a year and a half now. My total cost per month is about $800. I bring in 50,000 ($1000) a month save 10,00p (200) a month. I use Xoom to bring in my money and the cost is $4.95. YES the People are friendly here. The average pay is 350p per day =$7.00 so most things are very cheap here. I hope that you like fish, pork, chicken, because that is the choice here. Beef can be found here and that is what is my choice, so that cost more. The cuts of meat are not the same as the US. I own a small multicab that I drive every where. As a plus all the road signs and store signs are in english I live out side of Davao City at about 3000ft so it is cool most of the time, NO AC. Most of the time I run into Toril for everything I need, and that is only 12km. So when I drive to Davao City it is about 23km. I would suggest that you do not drive in the big cities. Traffic is very bad, unless you drive like a native, (that is me now) then it is just traffic. I buy off Amazon and Ebay all the time, and yes most things from the states can come here. FEDEX, UPS deliver here all the time.Just do not use the local mail service, it is bad.

The Xoom $4.95 fee means you transfer your money in pesos. If you transfer the money in dollars the fee is a little higher but the conversion rate from dollars into pesos that you find in the street in the Pi will more than make up the difference and you will be getting about $20 more at least each month.

Can you please provide me with more informations about living there? City, renting costs...

[@fbmw98]

@@MONSEFBECKTV depends on what do you consider as standard of living. The disparity between rich and poor is quite high in Indonesia, but only in fulfilling luxury needs. For example, cars are taxed really high. i compared a $22.000 car in US would go as high as $39.000 in indonesia (a mazda CX5) which i drive right now. gas price is decent, basic meals are cheap like chickens, some vegetables, and other locally sourced food are dirt cheap, but you won't find cereal below 5$ because we import those kind of stuffs. You can have life insurance for around 120$ annually to whopping thousand of dollars. that also applies for car insurance. People who live in indonesia are quite happy and grateful of the goverment, you won't be too poor to afford food or housing, and the education system supports the less fortunates even if you are not a 150 IQ-genius. About religion, most of indonesians are muslims, but they are very tolerant, of course you'll hear news about minor clashes but those are expected. I myself is roman catholic, there are alot of churches in indonesia and I never consider my muslim, protestant, buddhist, hindu friends as lesser beings. Indonesians are considered very polite, well depends on the region. I live in Jakarta city and currently studying in Bandung city, both are a great city and people are very friendly. The economy here rises slowly but certainly with our latest president, infrastructures like provincial highways, bridges are being built and we like him for that. With that we also have an increase of quality of life in the past decade. No indonesia is not an authoratian country nor communist, it's a bounded capitalism or something like it. We admire capitalism but we also partly socialist in a good way (like social norms and religious compliance) but even churches, mosques and other religious temples enforce nationalism not because they are forced but because we are respecting our founding fathers. I myself is chinese descendance with a mix of minahasan (native to indonesia), dutch, indian, and also arabian. But most of my family has chinese heritage. i said that to give you a view of demographic in Indonesia, most people are mixed race and it is so rare to find pure native bloodline.

I live in Ecuador, which I love. I have an Ecuadorian girlfriend that helps me understand the culture. I think it's much easier to move to a different country if you're single and meet someone from there or you're already married to someone from that country. Culture shock is very real and people tend to give up too soon. Having someone on your side that isn't going through that and can help you adjust is incredibly useful.

[@MikhnoOrg]

Sounds like a great advise. I'm living in foreign country with a different language (not Spanish; a small European country with its own language) and I had a pretty hard time meeting people locally and dealing with some situations, so learnt this the hard way - having someone local would definitely be a huge game changer. I've been trying to learn Spanish over the last couple of years and considering moving to some Latin American country (will likely start the process in about a year from now) - currently, thinking about Mexico or El Salvador. Any advise on how to make friends with locals before\after moving? And, if that's not a secret - how did you meet your Ecuadorian girlfriend? Hope there are some more still left! Gracias, y buena suerte.

You didn't elaborate much about the Philippines. I'll share some more details if I may. 1.) Western and western inspired restaurants and shops are everywhere in the major cities. 2.) Bank secrecy is seriously practiced. 3.) You'll get the freshest fish, fruits, etc. that you could ever imagine. 4.) We have VIP lines for seniors in the banks, shops, supermarkets, public transports, etc. No need to wait in line for the 60+ year old folks. 5.) There are MALLS everywhere. Huge malls. I can't cover everything here so just come visit and experience the Philippines yourself. Lol Cheers!

why is that ?

[@dawsoncreekinthephilippines]

I looked all over the world. because I could not Retire In Canada at 65. I Found the Philippines and have been coming here for over 15 years. and now that I finally retired last year and moved here. I have never been so happy. This place is amazing You really need to come here for two months at least and check it out. Everyone speaks English, It is perfectly safe here. There were Islands you should not go to 15 years ago, but not now. they are all great. and over 7000. islands. just Don't stay In Manila go to Bohol, Dumaguete, or anyplace except Cebu City and Manila. Cebu is ok but very busy. I live In Southern Leyte at the moment.

I live in Colombia most of the year. I think it’s more expensive than Ecuador, but medical care is great and you can choose your your climate.

[@TheZeroLatitud]

Is Colombia much higher than $1000 to live in?

[@danieldrinkwalter2393]

@@TheZeroLatitud My wife owns a 3 bedroom apt in Medellin that she rents out for 600,000 pesos monthly, or about $180 a month. You can get 2bdr apt in a security, high rise building for well under $400. She price a healthcare plan for me at about $360.00 per year, and Colombia's healthcare is the best in SA. So definitely affordable and there are some pretty small towns with expat communities.

[@GBU61]

I live in Envigado, which is next to Medellin. I rent an AirBNB for $250 a month, food is about $400 ( I eat out for dinner every night) and the rest I spend on entertainment. I can usually live on about $1000 per month. Added bonuses are the weather and the scenery. The only drawback would be that it is not near the ocean. The visa process is cheap and easy. Medellin should have been on this list.

[@lawrencewright2816]

Mr. Pokey I am 72 and have to observe the quarantine rules that apply to people 70 and older. I live in a rural location in Valle del Cauca. I have a cook & housekeeper that costs me 35,000 pesos a day. Including rent, housekeeper, cell phones (including Canadian cell phones), utilities, paying for the Housekeeper’s health care & pension, my EPS health care, Internet, & food, it works out to about 140,000 pesos a day. Our Canadian government pensions cover that with about $400 US per month to spare. We have dividend income that pays for extras when we need them.

[@lawrencewright2816]

Mr. Pokey I disagree about Medellin being on the list. The weather is great but the air quality is shit. It’s worse than smoking. In that respect I think Cali is better. Every day in the afternoon winds come in off the western mountains that clean out the stale air. Days are warmer than some people like, but not unmanageably so, and the evenings are gorgeous. When I was on an outdoor restaurant balcony in Medellin in the evening, I needed a heater put beside my table. I didn’t enjoy that.

Jolibee is garbage. Actual authentic Filipino food is very good. The fast food in the Philippines is no good

[@heww3960]

@@djm2475 So what is actual authentic filipino food and where do you find it? They do not have much of a street food culture (yes it exist, but it is small). The closet you get is the food courts. But the problem there is that even if you can find some good ones there, most is garbage. Most is just franchises as it seems. But some seem to have home cooked food, and those can sometimes be good yes. But as a nation and when you come there as a tourist i would not say they have amazing food. A regular tourist do not go home to peoples house and eat actual authentic filipino food. They go to restaurants, and most of them (both big and small) is below average i would say, even if there is always some gem here and there.

I'm retired and residing in the Philippines now I get by quite comfortably on my social security of around $1,500 per month me and my filipino wife have a two bedroom townhouse $235.00 per month house payment we live in what would be referred to back in the USA as a country club or Gated community with security guards at the main gate as you enter along with roving guards street cleaners , trash pick up, drinking water delivery, a market street with walking distance of our home my doctors office and lab is just down from the main guard gate very convient. And the security guards are amazing they offer you chairs to rest in while they call for you a taxi to take you into the main cities to buy grocerys etc.. We live and eat and have wifi cable Tv air conditioning in our bedroom and everything comes to around $800 per month including health insurance. If you marry a filipino here she can request you recieve a lifetime visa or A13 resident visa as it is called. Once you have it no more have to extend your visa any more, no more having to make visa runs, no more throw away tickets needed, leaving the islands no more paying departure fees at the air port when you travel and your one year ID card Or ACRI card is good for every five years when you have your A13 visa you only have to report to BI office every January pay a 350 peso fee and have a back ground check renewed to remain as a perminent resident of the PHilippines. The benefits here are fantastic for retirees. And the Beaches and beauty of the over 7000 islands here are breathtaking and very affordable. Best dicision I ever made was retiring here at 63 years old it's like I was reborn in the Philippines, no stress, no worries on how I would survive. I wrote and published several books on life here as a retiree one was called L:iving the dream in the Philippines and that my friends is exactly how I feel about it living here. I live on the Island of Panay western Visayas IloIlo city is our home. And a beautiful Island and great warm and friendly people. You need to seriously consider retirement here. Live comfortable and cheaply . Also with a A13 visa you need not have $20,000 in a bank account as with the SSRV visa's The A13 only requires proof of your monthly income and I transfer my funds here from my US bank back home with no problems at all . My wife has a bank account here where we pay or house payment each month and stick a little extra in savings there as well. Very nice ,very convient, stress free retirement. For us baby boomers for sure.
