What’s the Cheapest and Safest Country to Live in?

nomadcapitalis...
You might not think that one city could be both cheap and safe to live in. While countries like New Zealand and Switzerland top the safest countries in the world, so do tax-friendly countries like Georgia, which are much cheaper for expats and nomads.

Yes to Qatar. I lived there a few years ago. Tax free. Free healthcare. And very safe. If you come across any form of violence in Qatar, you must be the unluckiest person on the planet. Not quite cheap especially in terms of accommodation, education & luxury goods, but in terms of value for money, you’ll definitely get the bang for your buck for the basic necessities. Food is quite cheap even in hotels compared to other countries. Transportation is also reasonably priced. And you can definitely pursue hobbies like photography, or fitness or art, because these items are quite affordable. The only downside is, you’ll never be a citizen there.

Much safer than any city I've lived in in the US, especially SF where I wouldn't be caught dead by myself walking around past 9pm, or NYC past midnight (It used to be safer, no thanks to Deblasio). Budapest is wonderfully safe as well, not to mention people are much friendlier and such an incredibly beautiful place.

Even if you live in a safe suburb, what happens when you drive downtown to visit a museum or go to a restaurant? You could quickly become a victim. American large cities are turning into war zones thanks to liberal policies such as "defund the police" and weaker criminal laws. For example, they just passed a new law in Chicago whereby a police officer can't chase a person unless it's a serious crime. So if they snatch your purse, too bad! Nobody is going to help you. I would much rather live in countries where the law is enforced such as Singapore, China or where it's very difficult to possess a gun like Western Europe.

@ Dave Rote I am thinking of retiring to Uruguay myself. I read that in the beginning of the current madness the Uruguay was quite good in its response respecting the freedom of the people, but I have also read that it later became very strict and even repressive to a degree. Could you give some information on the situation there regarding the freedom/virus response. Grateful for your help.

I'd love to get a female perspective on this topic. Especially how would walking around (both in the cities & more rural areas) and living by yourself as a woman be in these countries?

[@ms-jl6dl]

Almost all of those countries have highly conservative values. In those societies single women over 30 are considered as "failure". Don't go there without a husband/partner. And "going for a walk" alone is nowhere safe.

[@RebeccaOre]

I’m a 74 year old woman, single, living in Nicaragua without problems. Petty theft is fairly common, but not violent. I know some younger single women who don’t have problems here either. Learn to speak sufficient Spanish and get to know your neighbors.

Wiki Demographics and if they have Migrant Crisis Slaves. Pretty easy to know. Does the country have slaves or not. So Georgia vs Georgia USA, UK vs Armenia, Ireland vs Serbia.... Pretty straight forward...

[@donovanfoto3263]

I lived in Tijuana for a total of 18 years. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT for a single woman. Moreso if you do not speak Spanish. You need to learn too many things, too quickly. If you have three or more women sharing a house, than it can be good. Three women is too many to attack at once. The police, like the U.S., are less than helpless. However, on the bright side, violent crimes against women are a little less frequent than in the U.S.

Usually I would agree with you on most of the topics, but I can’t understand why do you continue to advertise Georgia and claiming that it’s safe… yes, it is a beautiful country with delicious food and mostly great people. But, I would never call it safe … maybe if you live there in a gated community with enough money to send people to do all your paperwork… I have been there quite a few times, and I would definitely recommend to go on vacation there, but I would never advise people to live or invest…. unfortunately corruption still exists pretty much everywhere in the country- police, medical services, etc. and let’s not forget about the war that happened just 10 or so years ago….

[@MeganTucker]

I spent a week in Georgia this summer (Tblisi). I was considering it as a possible future location. An expat was murdered while I was on my way over there, and several other murders of expats followed in the next months. I myself did not feel comfortable there, due to harassment, people trying to overcharge for services, being followed around when I was just trying to take a walk, and high prices. I was a bit disappointed with Georgia. I am not a fan but I am definitely considering Armenia and would like to see how it is there at some point in the future. For now I have work to finish in the Balkans and India first but at some point I'd love to see what Armenia is like.

The safest or cheapest locations today is not guaranteed to be the safest or cheapest tomorrow. When I first settled in the UK, London was safer than New York. That is no longer the case. Crime in Oxford was rare. The grooming gangs shattered that. Helsingborg / Sweden felt safe. From what friends tell me that is no longer the case. The best defensive strategy (if one can afford it) is to have options to move about. What the world will look like in 10 years is anybody’s guess.

One word of caution to anyone travelling to other parts of the world. I understand while talking about this topic of "cheap" or "inexpensive" etc. amongst fellow Westerners or people with means whom you identify with. However, be cautious about describing other people's countries or areas where they live as such. The reason many places are "cheap" to you is because they are NOT cheap to locals. Things are often priced on an economy of scale and what the standard living wage and labor rates are. Quite a few of those poeple are just getting by or possibly struggling to pull themselves and their family through the lower to middle classes.
