Soon or later I am next in line to move to DR, 2022 I spent 40 days in an airbn in punta cana, my first time in DR 🇩🇴,since then I fall in love with this country where I find happiness, peace of mind,hope,joy and stress free life, I am tired of my 25 years living on expensive long island new -york where even if you make $5000-$10,000 a month you still feel broke and living paycheck to paycheck,house mortgage $3000 to $6000 monthly, 1bedroom apartment $1900 a month,3bedrooms apartment $3,600 a month, long island new york is killing us, moving to DR soon or later is a life savers ❤🇩🇴

I am moving to Santiago de los Caballeros as a retired american in 3 years on a 3,000 USD budget. But, I have already purchased an apartment and own a car in DR. With that kind of budget I will live in DR as if I was living in the US on a 15,000 USD budget. From DR my wife and I will travel to Puerto Rico, Colombia, and Mexico.

My wife had her own home when we met. So that's why it's $800 a month. SPM is a much smaller city then Santo Domingo but I'm still on the coast as well. I love your channel.

This is good! As I listen to you guys as you end regarding spending it made me think of my experience when I first arrived. As a fellow American, there was an adjustment period for me. It took me a while to realize that coming from a USD economy to a PESO was major!! I found myself spending on things as I would in the US because that’s the economy I was accustomed to. Let me be clear, I wasn’t spending money on clubs and partying! But on everyday things! I was told countless times by locals that I paid too much for things!! However, after about 2 years, I adjusted to this economy!!! You are spot on, the quality of living is much better here if one uses a little wisdom! I finally, settled on Bella Vista and love the area because everything that I needed was in walking distance or a short UBER ride. Although my Spanish isn’t fluent, I have no issues communicating. Oh yeah, most people from the stores and shops to the malls, know that I’m the American guy!! And I must say that I’ve not had one issue here nor was there a time I didn’t feel safe! You guys keep the info flowing even for those of us expats who live here. For those who are thinking about moving abroad, I would encourage you to research the economy first.

Depends on what a person values and how they budget the finances. I know in Colombia where my in=laws are in a decent middle class neighborhood a $1000 a month can get you alot where you feel comfortable and have all the conveniences you're used to. Over $1000 you're just adding more luxuries to be honest. Comes down to your lifestyle. If you budget terribly in your own country its not going to change when you move outside of the country.

Hi beautiful couple, This my first time watching one your of video. Love the content of it. Already send it to my significant other, that is a Dominican York, and needs to know more about his country 😂. We already talking and planning for retirement. I am Cuban but my beautiful island isn’t an option for political reasons. He likes Fort Laurderdale, me not so much. But I think I will be happy in DR, I have only been there on resort vacations never locally. But that is plan for this year god willing. I still have a couple of year to decide but definitely I don’t want to stay in NYC, to expensive, to crowded and now dangerous. I will wait for the next two video. Very interesting, already subscribed to you channel with notifications activated so I don’t miss then. Thanks you guys for taking the time to make this type of content for your audience.

Great job guys! This is greatly appreciated. It would be nice to compare cost of living to other areas, perhaps closed to beach, or in other cities such as Bani, San Pedro de Macorís or even puerto plata. There’s a spectrum! 😂 I am very grateful because as I consider retirement, battling the cold winters, my 401 is not chunky enough, but man I’m tired of NY’s taxes and need to start planning! Florida is just the same, but without state tax, and it has other barriers that I don’t want to live with either…. Shmm it’s rough. Thank you again, for giving me another perspective. I appreciate you.

I'd look for a Gym, and eating out once in a while.. and transportation is needed as well.. gasoline is expensive in The DR. But there are less expensive rentals on good areas too around $700 too which balances out

I used to live in Piantini. Absolutely loved it in DR. I used to pay $900 for a furnished apartment (4 years ago). I'd also like to point out the areas you showed in your video are extremely nice areas, comparable/or better than lots of places in the USA. Most Dominicans would feel the areas you picked are upperclass neighborhoods. Also, these are city prices. Santo Domingo is the size of Miami. So $1,500 for the necessities in a big city in a nice area is an incredible deal!

I would love to hear your take on medical insurance and access to medicine in DR? I found it to be far more convenient than the USA. Same day appointments, same day bloodwork results - easy access to specialists. I work in the medical business and I found it way better in DR.@@NorberisR

Can you guys do a video on rural living and owning a plot of land and building your own house and farming and living off the land? La vida de un campo o talves un pueblo. Living in a small town or the country side is even more relaxing!! I visit my in laws who live in Janico a small town outside of Santiago and I love it. My dad lives near Moca and I like it out there as well.

I live 8 out of 12 months In La Romana about an 8 minute walk to the beach my overhead is about $600 I don't use a house phone or cable I have my cell and a smart tv I don't really watch much, and my rent is $350 for a 2 bed 1 1/2 bath 24 hours security, own my car but only use it when I leave the town. If you live anywhere you need to live like the locals if you're in DR and live like a tourist it will never work. 👍💪

Originally, the term 'high-roller' referred to someone who could/would bet a large amount of money on a ROLL of the dice in a dice game... the term expanded to me in any form of gambling and then any form of spending on the high end, BUT BUT BUT...for a DEFINITIVE definition of a 'High-Roller', I suggest you listen to the song 'High-Roller' by Ice-T. ~ Peace and thanks for the info.

If you want to leave close to the beach and you're on a budget you can always look outside of Punta Cana. People sleeping on beach towns like Miche, Nagua. People are friendly and rent is cheaper.

Nice clip! They just showed you guys very very nice urban areas locations in the Capitol to live… I’ve always enjoyed Naco; however I’m not sure why you leave North America and go into the thick of the city, but ok… prices drop outside of those locations( consider Santiago) … Now, if you are truly interested in moving think HARD about living ( no go for me) full time in the DR… keep traveling , learn the language and cultures…
