🇩🇴Living in Dominican Republic? Can You Survive on $1000 a Month? 🤔💵

[@caribbeanaviator1964]

Somebody was talking about spending 20K In a few months here. Absolutely! In Santo Domingo there is the lifestyle of people driving Ferrari's and spending 300 dollars on dinner. So even living here, you need to be smart about your money. About Dominican women, well, you need to be smart about them too. If you go to the supermarket and you see a gorgeous, cinnamon skin girl getting off her luxury SUV. Don't talk to her, you can't afford her. Now, of you see a gorgeous caramel running the register when you are going to pay. Then talk to her, that's your target audience 😮

living off 1G there is tight the apartments for 100 -200 dollars is not in the city, its on the outskirts. buy you fruits and veg local. find a butcher. invest in a freezer, inverter. people sleep on the DR, there are apts over 5G a month, people driving high end cars. things are changing

[@Arnseto88]

Boy that intro got me doing a lil two step 😂😂😂😂

[@FUTUREWORLDFILMS]

I HAD AN 3 bedroom APARTMENT IN MARANATHA ( next to the basketball courts) 10 YEARS AGO FOR $160 A MONTH…. IT CAN BE DONE !!! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 KEEP UP THE VIDEOS

[@roninthewanderingtravelerTV]

That is awesome!

[@mapope]

Can you make a video speaking on overall Healthcare for future passportbros that may consider staying in the Dr longterm?

[@roninthewanderingtravelerTV]

Will do!

[@GT60616]

Good one!

[@khalidelshabazz4020]

I want to know that myself I will have my federal employee health insurance when I retire

[@mikemiller7783]

I was married in Santo Domingo 4 months ago and I'm in the states preparing to move there and getting my job situated for remote...I do worry about the Internet connection and redundancy. We always seem to have a poor connection while video chatting.

[@isrealwalters956]

Was thinking of that too​@@mikemiller7783

[@pierrelouisjose]

Yes Sir, I grew up in Haiti 🇭🇹. The best investment or solution for electricity issues is an inverter .only the batteries are expensive, Add some solar panel then it's on!

[@caribbeanaviator1964]

I'm a Dominican pilot flying for an American company and living in Santo Domingo. I would like to clarify some points. Some of these videos kind of give you the wrong impression that the DR is a poor country. Let's debunk that notion right now! The DR is listed as #68 of over 210 countries based on GDP. So can you live with $1000 or 1500 per month? Yes you can, but be mindful that you cannot afford a lifestyle with a girlfriend and eating out all the time and enjoying going out to the beach. Is it cheaper than the US? Yes it is, but to live a lifestyle where you can get an apartment at a nice area in Santo Domingo, have a girlfriend (by the love of Christ. DO NOT GET MARRIED) You will need north of 3,000 a month. If you have an income of around 5,000 a month.. Then you are living an enviable lifestyle. 5000 grand in Miami is foodstamp lifestyle 😅

[@ariefraiser140]

Most people in Miami don't have $5000/month after tax. You need an $80,000/year job to pull in $5000/month.

[@ricolaw1033]

I ran through $20K on 4 DR trips in 2021 😂😂😂😂 but I stayed one time for almost 2 months. Shortest trip was 2 weeks. I wasn’t even trickin too heavy 😂😂😂😂 oh yeah I went to Jamaica for a few weeks too during that time

[@VeganIcedTea-yh5jh]

That’s about 16 trips for me and I’m trickin moderately..

[@mrpeppers05]

I liked that you showed your home. We would also like to see the neighborhood as well. Great video

[@iamafrederic9358]

Its all about your lifestyle. Most expats want all the US comforts. How about sacrice a few of those creature conforts and enjoy the culture, the ocean views and the people

[@dwaynefrancis1066]

I know its possible with finding rent at $250 yes very doable

[@JonasBluntson]

Right pay the bills an put 250 up for food an 100 for mango

[@ddm316]

Yes it’s doable but your income will not be the same as in the US DR a good job is $300-400 a month it’s very doable if you have a USA based job that you can do from a computer then you can live like king you need a remote job or money already saved up for it to work

[@MrJrweir]

Key, don't chase, you'll save big time. As in other channels, my suggestion is a simple one, live native. I am a firm believer in going native adopting your new country and lifestyle.

[@DKDUBBA8165]

Yes brother I came down there a year and a half ago and I have been back over 6 times since then, on my first visit I knew that I was going to retire there! And I will be retiring in November 2024 so I am so excited, You are correct I won’t need much even though I will be receiving my Retirement, and I have a %100 percent Va rating, ( I can live like a king off of this along) and I will be applying for my social security at 62 so that’s three checks coming in!!

[@mmafan3]

Salute brother. Yeah if I decide to live there part time or go back and forth my tastes are simple. I don't need a lot of extravagance just AC, good food and my presidentes. The rest just comes naturally lol. I'm going to be down there memorial day weekend so hopefully we can get together for a beer brother. Keep enjoying your life 👑

[@edubwes]

I’ll be there first 2 months in 2 weeks. Excited to go.

[@jasonthompson4475]

Love your channel

[@salmanbana8678]

I look for rent round 300/400 per month when I travel, I eat once or twice a day and don’t spend over 10 on food I go to local joints that serve good quality food nothing fancy, I mainly eat a lot of fruit and drink hella fresh juices max I do spend would be 10, I plan my day accordingly rather than wondering and spending tons on travel, I do a lot of activities that are free like going to the beach and I walk a lot. I don’t drink or smoke so if I had to guess I’m spending another 300/400 just on expenses. And not to forget I get occasional massages.

Very nice

[@RaulLene]

I’m Dominican i spent 100-500 everyday . So all depend whatchu doing

[@JonasBluntson]

I go for 3 or 4 days. Taught myself if I can manage 400 for 3 or 4 days then 1000 a months should be manage cutting off the tricking. If I could trick 2x a week. Eat at local places them it can be done

Thanx

Hey Bro love the comment, i'm getting 4,500 a month from my retirement and SSC can i afford to live comfortable in the DR, I not a luxury living person, i beleive in necessities before luxury, but i would like to be comfortable, can i have a good quality of lofe there with my funds.

[@roninthewanderingtravelerTV]

Yes, absolutely you will live like a king!

[@knight3131]

I would like to know what do Dominicans do with their garbage? are they require to recycle? do you pay a company to pick up your garbage or do they have a sanitation department like they do here in the states that comes around to pick up the garbage?

[@roninthewanderingtravelerTV]

In the Dominican Republic, waste management practices vary depending on the area, but many regions have garbage collection services. Others burn the trash. But if you live in a Apt you'll be good .

Survive off $1000 per month ? Yes. But live comfortably and enjoy life , no 😂😂😂 you will be struggling off $1000 per month and can’t afford to leave the house

How if you can pay rent first. Then 800 a month leftover should be find.

[@LivingtheDRdream]

@@JonasBluntson $200 per week for everything ? 😂😂😂 That is struggling . Zero entertainment or fun. You are basically stuck in the house all day

[@JonasBluntson]

@LivingtheDRdream nope tricking on slow days for $40 2x a week an rest eating local

[@LivingtheDRdream]

@@JonasBluntson you can't even afford to trick on $200 per week 😂😂 unless you eat rice and beans and chicken from home everyday. Zero restaurant, zero alcohol. Living in a condition with no AC Or hot water on that budget. Just the bare minimum to survive.

[@JonasBluntson]

@LivingtheDRdream I don't care bout alcohol or tricking everyday. I can trick in America. I enjoy local foods. Restaurants don't give more than locals.

[@marierodriquez7886]

How much is health Insurance monthly?

[@antoniotula262]

The biggest clue is that the DR government requires proof of $1500/month income for Rentista and Pensionado visas. Minimum.

[@JonasBluntson]

Since when do they ask that? I had friends in their 20s staying for months at a time

[@antoniotula262]

@JonasBluntson Your friends are classified as "overstay" & typically pay a penalty upon departure. They didn't apply for or get visas to stay there as pensioners or longterm renters. Google it, the info is there on govt sites.

[@JonasBluntson]

@antoniotula262 the penalty is like $20 or $40 so it's no big deal

[@antoniotula262]

@JonasBluntson Yeah, most people staying a few months just pay on the way out. If you actually live there and only come here, maybe twice a year, then it's worth it to get those visas. Especially if you own a business or property.

Is there a hot water switch that you have to turn on? Or is it automatically hot?

Very good barbershops all over the island. They take their hair care very seriously. Regular spot like $5 USD. High end salon like $20. They got lounge area with drinks for sale and pretty shampoo girls. One spot I go to after I get my hair cut, girls come over and brush all the hair off you and give you a facial and exfoliate your arms and legs while you’re in the chair. Cost like $20
