I agree with you. It is very expensive to live in Mauritius. It is believed that ex pats have caused prices to inflate sky high. I was from Mauritius and now lives in the UK. I find it too expensive when compared to prices in the UJ.
@Boyanadee6 ай бұрын
Well expats are just being charged higher prices. Example: Mauritian husband buys an icecream on the beach for Rs 50. Next day caucasian wife attempts to buy from the same place- Rs 250. It’s called white tax 😂

My take after being here a few years Not on the beach or couple of streets of housing back, 50k-60k, for the north is realistic atm for a decent place - you should also not just take first price advertised since most relator mark the price up initial and then it becomes negotiable. In our friend group, outside of estates or res, everyone pays less than 60k but been here a few years already so don't really pay the "school fees" anymore. Inside estate/res will highly depend on the luxury you are after. We have friends paying 80k on the beach in a res (Pointe Aux Canonniers) or 160k in a fancy res in Grand Baie. If you are after modern/new places in res then yes 70k - xxx, but then it becomes a lifestyle choice rather vs a need. Food budget can be so varied. If you just buy what you want and don't do a bit of price shopping it can easily inflate. Especially if you don't adapt a bit to other import brands. Also depends on splurging and safe to say the amount of red / expensive meats. For 2, we are on 25k for household groceries including a fairly decent amount of import red meat. Do buy bulk when we can. Excludes eating out, alcohol. Note, we don't really buy things like sweets and cooldrinks or any "luxuries" - good veg and good meat and then local staples. Electricity for us is 2-6k a depending on season with aircon each night and only AC during the day if absolutely needed (Dec/Jan - Mar/April) - 2 people Water is has never been over 100Rs including pool and regular garden watering. 500Rs seems extremely excessive - not sure if its maybe targeted pricing... 100% Agree, car cash is best idea. Entertainment fees varies greatly depending on what you do in your spare time we average around 40k for going out, paddel, boat trip, hair, yoga etc. 2 people.

@@LucyLeheilleix You do say it ^^ - the income tax advantage is, depending on one's lifestyle, "compensated" by the huge import taxes on goods, e. g. a bottle of South African wine (basic, but good) costs three times as much as in Germany, and by other "hidden" taxes possibly, e. g. the househould insurance (about 70 € monthly) is insanely expensive.

About how much monthly for food for two people who only eat out and buy branded snacks on occasion, like once a month? Everything else I buy fresh produce mostly, and maybe some nuts and seeds like walnuts, almonds, or pumpkin seeds, and enough meat for three or four servings per week. For example 12 ounces of chicken breast or ground beef? You said food can be expensive, otherwise the cost of living at a glance is on par with parts of thailand. So want to know about access to fresh fruits and vegetables

What I really dont understand is the fact that the only the prices from a western styled supermarket are compared. Go to a market where the locals buy and you will get everything much cheaper. For example Tomatos for 50 Rupies/kg, what is 1 Euro, red meat is much cheaper, Chicken as well. so if you look a bit it is no problem to have the same for less than in a supermarket.

Considering the GDP per capita tables, you'll see that the UK is roughly at 5 times Mauritius (without PPP) and 2 times Mauritius (with PPP) - thus, the cost of living should be anywhere between one half and one fifth of that in the UK. Now, how many families in the UK have got 2,500 GBP for 3 or 4,300 GBP for 4 at their disposal (except London with its massive rents, possibly)?

Thanks for the comment. That’s why I said to “take it with a grain/pinch of salt” as we all have different life styles, salaries and expenses/expectations 😊

@@InterBravo If you’re comparing to London, New York, Sydney and Singapore…..then it’s cheaper. But not dirt cheap. If you want dirt cheap then I’d argue that Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Kenya, Turkey etc would be more cost efficient.

How about you move to more “average” properties instead of luxury places on the beach, or is that your target audience? Literally why comment on food prices when you just talk about imported stuff like booze, McDonald’s etc and no thoughts on eating more locally or buying / cooking your own? This seems to be a channel just for the wealthy.

Thanks for your comment. You’ll notice the title of this video is targeting expats. Irrespective of the way you skin the cat, Mauritius is expensive. It’s just the way it is….ask any local.

Actually a spot better than America. I plan on coming alone once my kids are grown and out the house. So $3,500 a month should be enough for a simple solo lifestyle.
