Absolutely true. Just rented a 3 bedroom house in Soledad Atlántico a suburb of Barranquilla for equivalent of $127.00 per month Electric, Gas and Water for only another $42 per month. Moved to Colombia from Panama and I already know it was the right move.

What a wonderful and honest conversation. I am nearly retired, and I am experiencing the doom of not having enough money to live. Crime, taxes, cost of living keeps going up….

[@randymillhouse791]

@@yohasarfati320 This is why Americans need to be invisible and allow only native speakers conduct the rental / purchasing for them.

New-Sub: I'm 50 I've been in the Philippines for 2 months. I was so happy to have spent my 50th birthday away from the U.S. Also, this was my first-ever flight! This is also my first time having seeds in my watermelon since I was a young kid. The people are often poor in wealth but rich in hospitality, manners, and respect 🙏 I was forced to retire early and once I had the crazy 🤪 of the U.S. seems to have exploded! Here as a single man with some savings and at least $2,000 in disposable income monthly. You not only can live well but you can actually save money for investing, vacationing, medical procedures... And the women that don't ask for much are the ones you wanna share everything with 🎉

Hello Felix, Just started watching you a few weeks ago, and have been following Gino over a year. Great interview by the way! I'm from Detroit originally but lived in several states through the years. I'm dying to relocate to Columbia but I'm in another paradise, Pattaya, Thailand and living the dream! Been here almost 8 months and with a wonderful Thai woman that I just won't leave. I live in a one bedroom highrise condo, facing the ocean and 7 islands, for only $340 a month! Everything is so inexpensive here, my quality of life is ridiculously high by comparison to anywhere in the US. But I have to say, knowing Spanish fairly well, and between the climate, food, culture and lush greenery Columbia is my next go to for my retired life. Life outside the US for retirees on a fixed income can be sooo much better! Gino, I and many more retirees are now living the dream! Spanish is an easy language to learn. Thai is more difficult but download Google Translate, it makes life so much easier! To those who are retired, on a small fixed income, do your due diligence FIRST, but just stop barely surviving, get the hell out and live a better life for a change! It's waiting for you!

[@M3LTUP]

The problem in the U.S. is not just rent or mortgage. The utilities and taxes will break you. Gas+Electric-300 , Water-200 , Prop Taxes-500 , HOA-100 , Cable-150. Total = 1250/Mo.

[@FelixTheTraveler]

Exactly.

[@Chris_at_Home]

That’s about right. We don’t have to pay for water or HOA and with our senior tax exemption we pay about $500 a year in property taxes on 4.5 acres with a small duplex we own. We don’t pay any state taxes.

[@solotravelerstour]

I am from Colombia and my advise fire retired people that want to live in n Colombia is that spend some months in these gorgeous zones of my country: Santander and the Coffee Zone are special nice zones fm because, they have beautiful labdscapes, friendly people, a lot of plans to do and very good hospitals, in the case of illness. They can live happy and with good modern life or to live in a little town close to a one of the cities.

[@tombernard4612]

Great info ,thanks for sharing! One tip to you Giant Traveler if I may, and to anyone else who is seriously considering making Colombia their long term home. Stop making comparisons to the cost of living in US cities and even stop thinking and converting into dollars when you're doing purchases in Colombia, even meals, clothing etc.Think in pesos, you're going to live in Colombia think like a Colombian, think in pesos, not dollars. This way you won't give yourself a false sense of illusion that everything is so so cheap and your money will go a lot a lot further! Muche Suerte a todos ;)

[@tombernard4612]

This is exactly why gentrification is happening in Medellin , the Paisas are all upset about all the gringos here, and the high prices. We generally tip way and pay too much for things because we think it's so cheap and we're doing them a gracious favour and the locals get used to it. This is exactly what has happened in Poblado over the last 10 years. Go have a beer and a little pub in Bello , the MAX you will pay is 6000 but its usually 4000 pesos. However, in general a beer at any trendy place in central Poblado AKA " Gringolandia" is 12-15000 pesos.. Think and pay as a Colombian would.... When in Rome.....

[@oceanwave4142]

But now those same shoe boxes cost like 1600 per month here in Miami. This is insane. And i can’t find a job anywhere. People is so angry, hateful, racist and rude all the time. So many horrible people, and for no reason. I can’t wait to retire and move to Colombia. I can’t live this way. I would shoot myself before being homeless. I don’t hate América.

[@bernarddouthit4647]

Great video gentlemen. What was the word that you couldn’t use? Lol. I agree 100% with the point you were making about dating in the U.S. It’s not worth it. I have been to Colombia quite a few times and am planning to move to Medellin for the winter months - and maybe even part of the summer. Like the two of you, I’ve found the people to be genuinely nice - not just polite - but genuinely interested in each other as human beings. An American woman on a video by AK Joel said that Americans think with their heads and are on their phones all the time while Colombians think with their hearts.

There is still some southern hospitality in the USA but it will fade away over time unfortunately.

Hopefully, the US dollar will survive or get ready to exchange to a more stable currency.

[@drewskeez1156]

you can live on under 1000 a month in certain areas with certain amenities, but if you want a quality of life that is similar to developed countries youll absolutely want more than that. Personally I spend around 800-1000 a month just on food/drinks and transportation...($15-20 on food/drinks and $8-10 per day on uber will get you there). that doesnt include anything else like rent, insurance, clothes, weekend excursions, tourist stuff, shopping, going out, gym, dance. So while its not possible for most people, some people can do it if you eat at home all the time and don't go out much at all. You can find an apartment for 300-400 a month, sure. its probably not where you want it to be, probably doesnt have ac, probably doesnt have a washer/dryer, probably doesnt have the best security, probably has paper thin walls, but sure it can be done if you want to live that way, but I dont. Ive been coming to the country for about 6 years and that is the reality of it. I understand that many people are forced to live on a small budget like this but I wouldn't want to go to a less developed country and have my quality of life go down. to live comfortably in most cities, 1500-2000 is what most people are going to need, 3000 in major cities means you dont even need to think about purchases unless your rent is a huge part of your budget.

[@Havana1961cu]

Wronggg! Upper Poblado is absolutely great...Incredible panaromic views of entire Medellin, lush green, gorgeous creeks, safe, clean air, not cold and not hot, quiet and yet only 10 min away from all that hustle and bustle of a city, malls and entertainment which I love to experience once a week..Upper Poblado is not parque lleras..I go all day without running into a single tourist..

Apartments in USA are expensive in places where you can find gainful employment. People in Medellín making fraction of what people in Chicago or NY make hence rent in medellin is much cheaper. However, if you can work remotely it doesn't matter. Also, take in consideration that unless you have some kind of visa you can't spend more than 6 months a year in colombia. If you have visa and you spend more than 6 months in colombia you are becoming a tax resident which means you will yave to pay colombian income tax. So this colombian living is not that easy. To live well in colombia plan to spend 1k plus your rent. $800 a month is hardly survivable, especially in places other than small pueblos. BTW, food in supermarkets like exito is more expensive than in USA.
