Greetings and Gratitude, Renato, from Santa Cruz, California, USA (on the beautiful Monterey Bay).🙏❤️
I have lived in Thailand since 2006 and I absolutely love it. I live in Pattaya near the beach and my total monthly expenses are under $1000 USD. English is widely spoken here, crime is rare, and Healthcare is world-class.
Yes, you are in a pretty good part of the world. Very good deal.
Honest question… Is it safe for women? I thought Thailand was a predominantly Muslim country? Sharia law is pretty scary…
I'd gladly be there except I didn't take any of the vaccines and biden made leaving the country impossible for me.
@@charlesdavis7461that's because you're in a cult and watch Faux "News". You live in a bubble because you don't realize that inflation is high everywhere and United States inflation is the lowest out of all the G7 countries. All this started because of the pandemic and affected the entire world. But I guess you're going to blame Joe Biden on the high inflation in Europe, right? It's better to be informed them opinionated. Look outside the box and the big picture and especially what's going on in the rest of the world compared to the United States. You don't realize how much of a negative impact of pandemic had on the global economy affecting pretty much every single country not to mention the negative impact the Russian Invasion into Ukraine had on gas prices around the world. I think you should take a course in economics and understand how it works because obviously you don't have a clue because you're so wrapped up in politics making everything political when in reality, it's not but you're just looking to blame Joe Biden and the Democrats because you hate the left so much instead of being objective in trying to understand what's going on through truth and facts instead of political propaganda🤡🤡🤡
That's very nice. I really thought Thailand would be on the list
As a world traveling connoisseur, i can tell you from experience, if you want to live cheap in any of these countries, you must go to the outer provinces and have a local guide. If they know you're a foreigner, you will pay over 4× what everyone else does.
Yep I lived in Costa Rica the closer you are to foreigners the more money it cost my place was 800 a month with Pool
so you are saying, if you wanted to rent/buy one of the places he mentioned, just because we are foreigners they will charge for a $300 a month place $1200? is it not already advertised for the lower price? thanks in advance ❤
Yes so true and depends what country you go to like Mexico,Bolivia ,etc chances of being kidnapped is something to worry about

My girlfriend in Indonesia had a house that she rented for $500 a year. Multiple gardens two bedrooms big living room and extra space for storage or crafts
500 a YEAR??
@@carla3410 I think they meant 500 a month year round, if not HOOK ME UP PLEASE.
When and where in Indonesia? I’ll make my plane reservations immediately lol
@@FuzzyDoom It could cost that cheap, depending on the city and the area. You could find that type of house for $500 a year in small cities such as Solo, Salatiga, or any small city in East and West Java, but sometimes the house location is relatively far from the center of the city. The closer you are to the center of the city, or the bigger the city you live in, the higher the price.
@@Rachellelulufulif you want more cheaper outside the list i can suggest you purbalingga, kebumen, it could cost only $50 a month and salaries of the people right there is $20 to $50 a month, $500 is goverment's official version of salary, but outside its capital city jakarta, everything is much less
My kids will tell you that living here in AMERICA at the parent's house is cheaper than anywhere else in the world. No fees for rent, no electricity, no water, no internet, and the refrigerator is always full(filled and paid for by elves of course) why it's all FREE. What a Country.... what a life...
Ditto! I hear ya!
Stop it

As an American I lived in Costa Rica for 8 years. And you can easily go over $1,000 a month. I did it for $480 a month. I lived in a small town and my house even had a pool, my rent was $120 a month.
Where exactly?
@@angel1111. you probably should ask when in addition to where. He used past tense
It can be done people think it's impossible. I literally live in Tennessee in a small town on about 1500 mth. My roommate charges me $200 all bills. My point is a lot of people in America will say you cannot live on that small of a mount in America and I do it everyday. There are people in my town paying over $1,200 a month but there's other people paying less than 500 without roommate. You can find cheaper places in places that are typically expensive if you put in the work.
@@zengjanezhu I believe you can do it right now. For instance around Cancun and Mexico it's supposed to be very expensive and I've seen people paying 200 a month rent. It just depends on where you stay and what you need. There's plenty of people in my town paying over a thousand a month rent. I pay 200 all bills except groceries because my roommate doesn't pay much rent and doesn't need more. Actually my employer messed up and took insurance out without my knowledge last month so I made less than $1,000 for the whole month last month and still got by with a tiny savings here in America 😂

I am an American who has lived in Costa Rica for 11 out of the last 15 years. It isn't that cheap. In fact, it is the second most expensive country in all of Latin America (after Panama) and overall it is only moderately less expensive than the US. In fact, I actually pay more for food, clothes, and electronics in CR than I do in the US. Costa Rica has many good qualities which is why I live here, but a low cost of living isn't one of them. Costa Rica should not be on this list at all, let alone at #2 or #3. Take it off the list and replace it with Colombia. There is a reason why Costa Rica is called "The Switzerland of Central America!".
you are so right about the expense of Costa Rica and the low cost of Colombia, both of which I've visited. And I adored Colombia, such a magnificent country.
Correct so I moved to Haiti.
@@Waray25 lol 😂
Yep. its stupid videos like this that get people to think it's cheap. It's Soooo not. Neither is mexico. Both *can* be cheap but you have to live a really shitty quality of life to get it. Not worth it. Go to Albania instead. luxury and cheap.
I posterd this earlier, but here it is again for those who want some realisting costs structure in CR: (1-2 people)
Breakdown for CR (Costa RIca) from 2021: Expense Cost $USD
Rent (Western-style 1-bedroom) $450 (2023 -$600)
Utilities (including fast wifi) $140 (20214 - $200)
Transportation (car + gas) $175 (2023 - $250)
Food (mix of local & international) $375 (2023 - $450)
Healthcare (local hospitals) $50 - all depends what insurance one carries (might be > $400)
Extras (coffees, going out, daily small expenses) $75 (2023 > $150)
Mobile phone $20 (2023 - $35)
Total $1,285 (2023 ~ $2000 or more) .
You have it - and can project on other countries as well. "Old" < $1,000 (USD) is now $1,800-$2,500. No exceptions - in any size larger town.
I think a housing crash will happen because all those people who bought homes over asking price, although it was at a low interest rate, they are over their heads. They have no equity if the housing prices continue to go down, and if for whatever reason they cannot afford the house anymore and it goes into foreclosure because even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I think this will happen to a lot of people especially with the massive layoff predicted for the future and the cost of living rising at a high speed.
I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!
You are right! I have diversified my 450K portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment coach, I have been able to generate a little bit above $830k in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds.

I am from Peru and the prices you mention are very relative, it depends in which part of the country you live, which city, and which neighborhood. Prices can change a lot depending of that. Also the food and quality of life will vary.
Thats how it works everywhere in the world not just Peru. I think he is either doing the lowest point or the average of cost of living throughout the country for this video if I had to guess.
I'm from Peru too... But some things are misleading. Transportation : S/1.3 is not getting you very far 😂. That won't even get you on the metropolitano. And $50 a month on groceries? 😂 Con S/190 no sales con nada en Metro o Tottus. Ni en El mercado te dura para 2 semanas

I'm sure Zorritos wouldn't be that expensive! lol
@@drizzify7850 He's full of it. He's getting clicks. Over generalized statements highlighting bargains. The devil is in the details.
Costa Rica has become the 6th most expensive country in the Americas. I have been here for the past two months and have found that most things are more expensive than the US with the exception of rent. Your prices on Peru are a bit more accurate but still there is no way possible to have a monthly grocery bill of only 50 US dollars. I was in Peru for nearly two months and found these numbers being closer to a weekly expense. You should have included the Philippines because there you can truly live a lavish lifestyle for the 1000 dollar a month budget.
Agreed. I was in Quepos Costa Rica a couple years ago and it was not nearly as cheap as people claimed. Prices have been going up considerably.
I agree with you. I really do not know where this person got his data from. I have checked housing and rent in Costa Rica and it is as expensive or more expensive than Panama.
Really? Lavish? So, you were able to get a nice 1 bedroom apartment with A/C, reliable electricity, reliable high speed internet in a city that doesn’t have garbage stacked everywhere and still have plenty left over to eat out and have your beverage of choice on $1000.00/mo? From what I’ve learned, you were more likely living in the provinces like the locals do. Lavish would more likely require $2000-$3000/mo.
I met a nurse in the 80s who wanted to get OUT - she was making $.25/hr! The son of our organization’s houseboy dropped out of engineering school to be - a HOUSE BOY!!
The Philippines is great - until you need high tech and high quality…
THAT is why it’s so cheap to live there!!
im here now. and i actually miss the prices of electronics in america! all electronics are double here. I haven't even looked into clothes yet. food is relatively cheap and housing is cheap but with the usd going down daily you dont get a lot of colons anymore.
I'm Canadian and have lived in eight countries for work (at least two years in each), including Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Malaysia and Vietnam (Hanoi and Danang). I would choose Vietnam to retire - weather, cost of living, security/safety, friendly people, great food, beaches, etc..
what kind of work do you do? sounds so interesting to work in these countries.
Among these countries, Vietnam is the country with the best security/safety. In addition, Vietnam has many beautiful landscapes and delicious food, friendly people, and reasonable prices according to needs.
At the present time, with a price of 1500-2000$/month, you belong to the upper middle income group. Can live comfortably.
Good luck to those who intend to come to Vietnam.

I have to agree, that you were totally wrong about Costa Rica! I’ve spent a significant amount of time there and it’s one of most expensive countries in Latin America. I now live in Panama which you left out of this list and it’s a huge oversight…

For some of these countries I believe you're right. But I live in Cambo and I can confirm that you could live very well with 850$/month. You can have a nice apartment near the city center with gym and rooftop pool + cleaning lady once a week for 230$/month. You can eat for as little as 1$. You have all you can eat restaurants starting at 6$, some relatively high quality for 10-11$. For 300$ a month you could just eat a big meal once there every day. You can beer at bars for as little as 0,75$. The list goes on, but lots of great reasons to live here. Also great weather year round, no otherquake, typhoon or tsunamis.

I was living and working in CA for 35 years. My living expenses (a-z) included traveling 4x per year for my daughter and I was 36K from 2012 to 2017 ( home was completely paid off located in Carmel by the sea). We moved to Maui and living on a 2.11 acres, newly built home, 360 degree views for $267 per month (a-z) and only eat organic Whole Foods, rain catchment water, sunshine, gorgeous sunsets, peaceful, friendly, gated community, safety, big hospitals. We didn’t need to travel anywhere when we already live in the paradise. We moved here going on 7 years. Love…love…love it…! My daughter is working and I retired going on 7 years. I’m 55. We ‘re living large for a fraction of money in one of the most expensive State in America. Hawaii charged the tourists and non-residents with high taxes. It gives the residents a lot of breaks. The beauty is I’m still living in America. I believe it’s still the best and safest place in the World. I know that because we were the boat people. In 1980, my family escaped from VietNam. We were rescued by a German oil drill in the middle of the ocean from the Thai pirate boats after us. The German sent us to the nearest refugee country which was Thailand. At the time, there were three counties that welcomed political refugees, America, Australia, and Canada, we had to be picked as a lottery daily. We had to listen for our numbers at 6 am. After 3 months living in refugee camp ( horrible), we got accepted by US. They paid for our flights, however we had 10 years to paying back the flights.
I chose Hawaii because it reminded me where I was originally from. I raised animals as pets as my parents did. ( Ie. I relived my childhood). Of course, Standard American diets and America put a lot of toxic in our foods are slowly killing us. ( brain and body) We just need to read the labels and avoid it. I have a clean diet and intermittent fasting. ( daily) I don’t eat out. I eat Highly quality foods and spent less money on foods because I condensed my eating windows. It’s all about remodeling my lifestyle. Our ultimate healthy mind and body stemmed from a healthy lifestyles. 😊
Good for you! Nice to read a success story, seeing where you started. And health is the biggest success! Good luck! And God bless!
I live in Wisconsin. I became a teacher because I heard Hawaii always has teacher shortage. Dreaming of living there someday….
I pray you weren’t hit too hard with the recent fires 🙏🏿
@@S1MEONTV we live on the NorthEast side of Maui, it has a lot of rainfalls, very green on this side, The West side of Maui is extremely dry, rarely has rainfalls and has been having many brush fires, the last big fire happened in November 2022 prior to Lahaina. We preferred to live off grid, therefore the NorthEast of Maui is perfect for us.

Thanks. Great informative video. Cheers👍👍👍
I want to tell you that now on 2023, I have being checking different places to retire. One of them was Costarica and for I have found in the Internet, the cost of living in Costarica is about twice more expensive than what this video was saying. Of course, if you rent in a neighborhood infected by crime or you rent a falling down apartment, it is going to be much cheaper. I would recommend the person who did this video to go back to Costarica and get better data.
Sometimes the cheapest lifestyle costs the most!
I used to live in Costa Rica and it has become very crowded and expensive. It is a tiny country. I now live in Mexico, in the mountains above Puerto Vallarta, on about $400 USD a month and I live VERY well. This is with my house paid for, and half of that $400 goes to buy hay and dog food. Medical care is ridiculously cheap and the best care I have ever received.

It's about preference.
Cheap places in America = bad weather, very rural or boring. The states you located will be either poverty stricken, extreme weather or rural.
For the same amount of money you can be somewhere more exotic.
Appreciate the food for thought, thanks for the list. Would be helpful to include medical care costs and quality as a consideration for each destination on your next one
Thanks for the recommendation!
@@Acrosstheglobechannel Bolivia is BY FAR the cheapest country of South America. A whole course lunch (soup, main dish and natural fruit juice) is less than 1.5 U$ in an average neighborhood in Santa Cruz (the 'most expensive' city in the country).
Argentina is in a temporary situation due to inflation, it's a cycle with them, it's likely that they'll go to their normal pricing later (it can become very expensive). And I've been in Peru, it's clearly more expensive than Bolivia.
Similar thing happens with Mexico and Costa Rica, that are even more expensive than Peru.
I suggest you to adjust your ranking system.

There is a lot of money, lots of millionaires in PV, so, a great system here, in fact, they are given an A+ in healthcare, whereas the US is given a C-, not to mention, most Americans don't have the money to pay for health care in the US. Medical bills are the leading cause of bankruptcy in the US. With that income, you could live very well in the Philippines. I live very well on about $400 a month [not counting my car insurance, which at the top tier, runs about $400 USD a year], and that is with my house paid off. Netflix, high speed Internet, cell phone, gasoline, the best food [groceries run me about $15 USD a week and most fruits and vegs are fresh that day]........I spend about half the money, or close to $200, for hay and dog food. $15 USD a month for electricity, but I am in the mountains above PV, so A/C is never needed, nor is heat. Water and garbage collection are both free.
Whereabout in the Philippines do you live for that amount of money?
@famouskate9071 thanks for the information. I actually like Mexico. But not where your at , I prefer Tulum area, I need to be close to the Caribbean ocean .Just trying to figure out where to go, where that $1400 a month pension would give me the best life style once I finalize my divorce. Any house i buy will be paid off right off the bat up to $300k
Thank you for this wonderful video! I have incurred so much losses trading on my own....I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated.... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor trade
I strongly advise you against self trading, it's really dangerous and had brought so many investors down, you need someone with the knowledge and strategies, someone dedicated to the crypto currency market business, and I will strongly recommend expert, Mrs Janet
Wow I'm just shock you mentioned and recommended Expert Mrs Janet,I thought I'm the only trading with her
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE SHOCK BECAUSE I'M ALSO A HUGE BENEFICIARY OF expert MRS JANET
Here in Texas Expert Mrs Janet carries out the both orientation and mentorship

I spent 3 months in Nepal and although accommodation and local food can and often is very cheap indeed. Anything dairy or imported is actually very expensive. There's a 100% import tax on all luxury products which is basically anything there including things like fishing equipment. Go super local and it's cheap if you want the full western experience not so much, unless you take everything with you.
I agree with everything except Costa Rica. It is gringoized and expensive.
Philippines 1 and Cambodia 2 for my places to live for retirement.
You can't live in the PH long term unless you marry a local. Plus the psycho in charge of their mafia gov't threatened to shoot anyone who didn't wear the slave muzzle.
They forgot to mention that Argentina’s inflation rate is 100%. The average Argentine cannot afford all of their basic needs.
And NOW they are forcing you to have 3 guarantors just to rent a place.
I had to cancel my plans going there. I was upset.
This is an excellent video. Thank you for sharing!
I'm wondering if you have anything on countries in North Africa, like Morocco?
Thanks for a great video!
I lived in Costa Rica for 5 years. Got too expensive. Had to leave.
I don’t know where you get your data. I traveled and lived in 5 of those countries. You are way off. Especially COSTA RICA. Costa Rica is the most expensive country in Central America. Housing is similar to Texas but everything else is like NY or San Francisco. A gym membership is $80 and average dinner for two in a decent restaurant runs you about $100 MINIMUM.
Congratulations on the beautiful work you do, on the proposal to help people have the opportunity to learn more about budget countries to live.
Fantastic insights! Living lavishly on a budget is possible in these affordable countries. Thanks for sharing these budget-friendly options for a comfortable lifestyle!
Do your own research people please. Many of these countries ARE NOT CHEAP. They have become very expensive because of tourist choosing to move there. It's gentrification but on a global scale.
Cheap perhaps but what about political stability? attitude towards foreigners? availability and quality of medical services?
What great content! You explained it with such clarity and detail! Top 10 CHEAPEST Countries To Live Lavishly On $1000/Month. Thanks for the tutorial!!!
This was a very interesting video, thank you. I am very curious to know more about grocery costs and what people are actually buying for that much money. I've been living in Mexico 2 and a 1/2 years and the prices have been steadily climbing where I am at. Food is definitely quite expensive here both in grocery stores and at restaurants. Having a breakdown of what you could actually buy for that much in those countries would be very helpful ❤
Breakdown for CR (Costa RIca) from 2021: Expense Cost $USD
Rent (Western-style 1-bedroom) $450 (2023 -$600)
Utilities (including fast wifi) $140 (20214 - $200)
Transportation (car + gas) $175 (2023 - $250)
Food (mix of local & international) $375 (2023 - $450)
Healthcare (local hospitals) $50 - all depends what insurance one carries (might be > $400)
Extras (coffees, going out, daily small expenses) $75 (2023 > $150)
Mobile phone $20 (2023 - $35)
Total $1,285 (2023 ~ $2000 or more) .
You have it - and can project on other countries as well. "Old" < $1,000 (USD) is now $1,800-$2,500. No exceptions - in any size larger town.
This price system varies , if I was you I would look at a video where the person is physically there , showing you how they live because that Costa Rica is true I live there but to find a place that’s 400 a month you’ll be in the middle of nowhere away from fun things to do or maybe the place is not to your standards!
For cheap living in Mexico, you need to go far from tourist location, speak Spanish and watch out for cartels. Usually I had no problem, in Tijuana. But I am male, speak VERY GOOD Spanish and keep to myself.
They drove up the cost of living b/c so many people escaped to toxic Mx from communist countries. They wanted everyone who refuses to be a slave to be in one place so they can finish us off.
That & the expats have increased the cost of living.
I hate it here, & not just b/c of the expensive prices.
@@donovanfoto3263 FKN scary!! How does one 'watch out for cartels?'
great review... would help tho' to clearly specify how easy it is - usually not so easy - to communicate in English in non-touristic areas, while living, or experiencing life as a local...
that being said, I'll just mention from my own experience as a traveler in the EU and the US, with friends all over the world, that with $1500-2500 per month living expenses as a budget, one can live comfortably in any country in the world... the main problem would be to secure that revenue stream while abroad...
I think the cost numbers are a bit off for some countries. I understand this is about general costs only, but when you compare some of the factors, eg, ease or efficiency of transportation (despite being cheap) , this varies from from one country to another in this list. Other factors like safety, medical efficiency, language etc are points to be considered
You forgot great weather, fun & happy people, access to warm ocean and gorgeous beaches, nightlife etc. But your life sounds fun too. Canada or USA?
you can figure out the language barrier I know I had to when I was sent to Germany in the military. I didn’t know anything of the language within six months I was able to navigate just like one of the locals and this was back when they didn’t have Google translate.
What about decent Internet access in these places??
All your video presentation is awesome and informative...
Costa Rica was cheap 20 years ago. People visit and some move here. And they as to another expats why is so expensive? The thing is they dont blame they self but is true. Other countries are not in that situacion jet but very soon if expant keep moving. As a Tico I saw and live in first hand working in turist industrie in Costa Rica and few more countries. Is a bitersweet. Thinking the I live in a Countrie you visit for vacations. $$$
How come when I look at real estate prices after watching these videos the numbers don't actually match up?
Mostly because the information is wildly inaccurate or out of date (Costa Rica in particular is a hoot). But it’s also the case that apartment or house prices you find when researching online are always more expensive than when you actually go to a place, identify the area you’d like to try out living in, and then avail yourself of local resources to find a suitable place to rent for a while. At least in Latin America this is the case - don't know about the Asian locations.
I would add the Philippines, Thailand, Albania, and Turkey to this list.
Nailed it!
Great video Thanks
I think another factor to consider is your SSI might stop including any medicare benefits. Will have to gain access to your US currency thru challenging means. Hopefully you can elaborate more about fixed income individuals and property ownership
A zombie robot at my bank told me if I go to live in AR I have to close down my account, can you believe that?
The evils are ramping up the shutting down of all of the banks and leaving us penniless.
By next year we will see more closing of bank accounts.
Charles Schwab closed down my account for no reason & all of their staff now who are American are low IQ. I talked to 3 & not one of them could understand what I said & the executive office didn't return my calls.
It used to be the best bank until the war started.
This video is total click bait. There's no mention of healthcare, expenses other than rent and food, and the safety and quality of life in these countries. Mexico has very strict requirements to get healthcare, and they have exclusions for pre-existing conditions, just like the US used to have. I couldn't get any health insurance here, and my wife bought private insurance for around 3500 a year. But they exclude her pre-existing conditions, so it's pretty much worthless. I bought Skymed so if anything happens to me I'll be flown to Houston. If you can get insurance and you're older, count on at least 4K a year for 1 person.
Food is just as expensive here as it is in the US. Clothing, electronics, appliances, all just as expensive or more than the US. A 2 bedroom apartment with plumbing that allows toilet paper in a nice part of town is 1200 a month. What makes Mexico affordable is buying a home outright, as the property taxes are next to nothing. Otherwise, if you want to live a modern, clean, crime free existence here, you're going to need 2-3K a month.
Buenos Aires argentina is not cheap. Maybe the country side in a very rural area.
Costa Rica is also expensive.
I have lived in Costa Rica for 4 years and it is expensive. It has the second most expensive cost of living in all of Latin America. Uruguay is the most expensive for cost of live in Latin America.
Comparable costs is like living in Texas but without enjoying the great food and BBQ.
Tx has great food? LOL There's no toxins in the food there?
Hi! Nice list but it would be very useful to p-e more precise about which town to live in those cities. For instance Argentina is a big country so which towns would be the best to stay there?
Why don't you move there then Mr narrator
🤔🤔🤔🤔
A very beautiful city / area in Argentina is Mendoza. I would like to live there, but Argentine VISA requirements are getting to be too much of a hassle. So it looks like I will be moving my wife and I to Peru.
@@Charles-bo8iy Please tell me more! I was under the impression that Argentina VISA requirements were among the simplest and easiest to get, requiring only 2-years coninusous residency to become eligible for citizenship and a passport. Is this no longer the case?
@Richard Harlos I don't think it's too bad for US citizens, but my wife is Filipino, and for her it would really be alot of trouble. We've both looked at it extensively, and have decided on Peru 🇵🇪. Not quite as cheap as Argentina, but every bit as beautiful.
I'm glad that there are other parts of the world that is still much cheaper to live in than in America. One day I plan to live in one of these countries.
I have been searching
@@Nupagade246 Mexico has something for everyone.. ...yes, like all countries, there are bad areas but everyone can avoid them. Pick the right area, depending on what you like, and be welcomed by friendly locals, a thriving ex pat community, fresh cheap delicious food, ridiculously cheap health care and affordable health insurance, warm and sunny, some of the world's best beaches, very cheap Real Estate....
Wow! Living lavishly on $1000/month? These countries sound like hidden gems. Thanks for sharing the budget-friendly options!
All about the visa. I doubt Nepal would give residential long term visas for example.
"Authentic Mexian cuisine". In Mexico? Who would have guessed? 🤣
WHO THE HELL WANTS TO LOVE OFF OF TACOS for every meal ?
I didn’t feel safe wearing my MAGA hat in Mexico.
From February, 2023, three or four months after this was published, time to update. As countries recover from the pandemic, prices are rising dramatically. Living in Ho Chi Minh City "comfortably" and in an "expat-friendly" District, $865/month would be doable, but compromises would have to be made.
Excellent!
I’ve lived in Costa Rica twice. Those numbers are total fing BS!
I just watch the channel in Thailand and you can get a house that's never even been lived in two-bedroom partially furnished for like less than 200 a month. Yes you can also find places for $2,000 a month there but they had really nice places for like 2 to $400 a month. Staying is issued their it's not as easy as the Philippines are Mexico where you could just keep starting over and returning to the country with no limits on it
Very inexpensive
Well, I am in the process of moving to Thailand at the moment.
Lived in Thailand 10 years. Apartment with Thai girl was $200 a month. Girl spent an additional $500 tho
Thailand should be on the list. I live in Korat and rent a 5-bedroom house for $280 per month. Even though I am a singleton and need only 1 bedroom, this price is a steal. I have 2 large gardens and lists of room for my dog and cats. My biggest expensive is food which averages about $100 per week because I like gourmet foods. Transportation is inexpensive. Getting a retirement is not too difficult. Once obtained it is easy to renew annually. A potential problem may be on the horizon if the proposal of the Revenue Department to tax foreign funds brought into the country including pensions. I think SS would fall into this category. I have read in Thai newspapers that the rate of such taxation would be 35%.
Philippines yes, Mexico no. Income requirements are now too high.
Just a heads up about Indonesia - in the last year or so, they passed anti-fornication laws. So if you're in a long term relationship but not married, there is the potential of facing criminal charges there.
Very interesting. That really makes for a healthier society. I'd fit right in being celibate.
Vietnam has made "shacking up" with a Vietnamese person one is not married to a crime
Sooo how would they know? Do you have to provide a marriage certification or something? Do they lurk at night listening to ppl have sex or something? 🤔 interesting. Even though I’m celibate it’s fascinating to me to even know that ppl are fornicating.
No idea how all that would work, but hotels may ask for proof of marriage at checkin. I suspect the law was passed to appease religious extremists - it could very well be that the authorities won't bother enforcing it, especially in tourist areas
@@dougmurphy1777 I'm curious about Bali. Since it relies heavily on foreign tourism, it can't afford to enforce some of these laws and may just look the other way.
I'm looking for a small, culturally active city to live in in Mexico that doesn't have the expensive costs associated with the tourist traps? Any suggestions?
@@Neiltrama1 - I have no clue how you can live there on so little.
How much is your rent & how long have you had the place?
18 years living in Nepal and just spent 7 weeks in Peru. You would have to live either remote or very "local" to get by on 1000 in either place. Definitely not Lavish. But thanks for the vid.
If you think you can live "lavishly" on $1,000 in these places, you have obviously not been there.
The rices you mention are for areas that are not very nice or well kept and rices are constantly increasing in the big cities. The small towns , away from the big cities and touristic places are the ones that have low prices but very rural living.
Lol that won't even cover the property tax ...
@@olgaburgos7780very easy to live off $1000 in some of these locations like Indonesia that’s more than enough. My rent was $250 a month, easily can live off $10 a day for food eating local food. Nice and clean apartment with A/C and kitchen.
It’s easy to live $1000 in some of those places and I’ve lived in some of those countries
@@user-wm3gf6qc4x You can live but not lavishly
I'll be on holiday in Argentina next month to see if it's a suitable place to retire. I've been to Argentina twice in the past. But that was a long time ago in the 80s and 90s. I've also been to Peru in December 2017. I have no desire to retire in Peru. I've been to Vietnam in December 2013 and loved it. But currently, there are no retirement visas in Vietnam and I would have to leave the country every month in order to renew my visa. It's not worth the effort. BTW, no part of Argentina is near southern Asia.
Hope you enjoy Argentina!
Im originally from argentina bit now live in north carolina with my wife and son…i have a property here paid for that i can rent for about 1k dollars a month and im seriously thinking of moving to tandil because of the mountains but maybe ill start in BA argentina…i wonder if a thousand dollars is enough..and thats not even working…maybe i can also work online and make dollars 🤷🏻♂️
Go there with $100 bills to be able to change on the blue market for almost double the official rate. It does get very hot there in the summer that is why I decided against it after 45 days in Mendoza.
Regarding Greece, it wasn’t too many years ago that Greece’s economy completely fell apart. The country was unbelievably deeply in debt, and in denial about need to tighten their belt I’d look into the current economic situation before anything else.
Thank you.
Total BS for a start. Bali property rental is above London or NYC if you want a decent house. It's super overcrowded and the infrastructure doesn't follow the increased crowd. Yes you can eat 1$ local food which is subtly put it: cr@p.
All major cities follow Bali pricing. If the property is near to western standards (albeit tinier) it's automatically overpriced. Long term rent is only possible if you pay for the entire time period upfront. Which may make you lose your money if the government comes up with an idea that affects your existing visa effective immediately.
Yeah total BS
On average rent in London is up to 70 % more expensive than Bali .
You can get decent house in Ubud for 600 $ US per month
So if you like western standard in Bali you may pay from $ 600 to $ 1000 per month still cheaper than London one bedroom studio
1000$ US is luxury vila in Bali not a Council housing studio in London for 1200 £ per month in case you fancy two bedroom it will cost you 2000 £ per month .
Sound like it you have high standard of living in that case ,modern luxury 3 bdr apartament in London going to cost you
£ 6000 per week only £ 26 000 per month.
That is more than renting villa in Bali for whole year .
lived in bali 7 mos after Russia invaded Ukraine. What you are saying is true if living in the areas most tourists think of. But there is much more to bali than Canggu, Seminyak and Ubud. We lived on the north side and it was quiet and not overcrowded. Just too many temples w loudspeakers lol
Of great importance is what visas are available from each country. Malaysias cost of visas is high. Vietnams visa is only 30 days. Lots to consider besides affordability I think
These are all flash in the pan videos & for anyone who hasn't lived in foreign countries, they have no idea about visas.
As I said above, the reason for all this visa BS is because of the evils. They don't want us moving to other countries, they need to track and trace us all, BUT they are now moving all the arabs into first world countries to destroy them, although this has been going on since the 90s when they started agenda 21.
Good night from Papua New Guinea.
I enjoyed watching your contents and I liked and subscribed to your TH-cam channel for more contents.
Live lavishly ......proceeds to give apartment rates. That’s not lavishly
Understand the cost of living if fine, but of no use unless you can obtain the essential residence visa. A work permit is likely to be important as well.
Malaysia made it harder for foreigners to move there due to the higher requirements on current Malaysia My Second Home program. Not a lot of people has RM40,000 monthly income, which equals ~$9,394 dollars.
I wouldn't move to Malaysia because the drivers are the worst in the world. Look at the accident rates. I hitched rather than take a bus there simply because there had been so many bus wrecks. Check it out for yourself
turky is the best
@@charitylouisa : The drivers, in general, are bad in all of S.E. Asian cities/countries. You may have had bad experiences with Malaysian drivers, but they are not the worst in the region nor the world. Try driving in Bangkok, Thailand for a few months, then see if you still think Malaysians are the worst in the world.
WOW
I just looked into it real quick & you are right, it's way too expensive to get there or stay/live there.
Thanks!
:)
We don’t have mosquitoes in our home because it’s a bit windy. 😊The house built 8-9 ft up from the ground and completely seal throughout the house to keeping bugs out. We have chickens, they keep centipedes and other bugs in control.
Where is that & when you say sealed, so there's no air flow?
So building the house up stops mosquitos? Why is that?
I Caulked at the baseboard and any crack so they can’t get through, also I closed the drains, they tend to crawl through the drainage from my septic.
There are cities in Mexico where you might be able to live for 300 usd per month but they are very rural and not well known. Most people need like 2000 in mexico per month
Plus the new 30k a year income requirement. It's a no-go.
Surprised Thailand didn't mKe the list but cost rica did
It’s not only what is affordable…Residency guidelines in different countries has a huge impact as to whether you can live there long term or not. So whoever is watching this video and wants to move to a different country, you MUST do deep research into what qualifications and show proof of what you will need to meet the country’s Residency requirements.
You can say I'm living big for around $1,000 a month
My home is an AirStream travel trailer that I modified for luxury
I have a custom-built ride that can haul around a four-wheeler stilll be able to haul other trailers at the same time & also act as a mini RV
I have a custom-built toy hauler trailer
That hauls my motorcycle 🏍️ jet ski and a custom-built barbecue pit that attaches to any vehicle that has a hitch
I have an 8 ft outdoor theater system that I can put up anywhere
Because I stay at RV parks that are reasonably priced at $300 to $500 a month
Power water sewage internet sometimes swimming pools and a yard that I do not have to maintain lol
Very good video. But CR does not fit in the list
Thanks 🙏
Obviously the lower prices you mentioned will NOT get you ANY of the fancy apartments/homes that you listed. I think "luxury" living at the prices you mentioned is simply incorrect. You can live, but it does not mean you're thriving, much less luxury.
On the other hand the high prices for eating out in Cambodia seems out of whack with reality. And Costa Rica that cheap? Maybe 12-15 years ago. Like all places it depends where you live, how modern the apartments are, how nice the neighborhoods are, etc.
Yep! If it’s cheap and high quality everyone will buy it - raising the price! It ain’t what it costs but what it’s WORTH!!😉
I've lived in Mexico for just over 2 years, and many places are at par with expensive US and Canadian cities. I lived in Puerto Vallarta for just over a year, rents are EXPENSIVE and pricing out the nationals. Buying a home is super expensive in Puerto Vallarta as well, anything decent, easily at par with that of Canada and the US. Food IS cheaper, but prices are rising significantly. As people escape dystopian Western countries, places like Mexico, where you can live a relatively free life, prices are rising. I moved and bought a home in a small town about 3 hours south of Puerto Vallarta and a little north of Manzanillo. some of the countries listed I'd NEVER move to after their draconian measures due to the so called 'pandemic'. I've been to Peru, loved it, but the country was unbearable during the 'pandemic', ditto for Bolivia. My Kiwi friend lived there for years, loved it, but had to flee as to their globalist agenda. The world is shifting as people flee horrid places such as Canada (by far, one of the very worst), some parts of the USA (namely California and NY state, ESPECIALLY NYC), Germany, the UK, France, NZ, Australia
As good as it gets, Michael Hudson. Thanks for hosting him Danny.
Prices are so off. I lived in South America for a year, and another year in Africa, Arabian Peninsula and Thailand. The main thing to remember: people we live in a highly Globalized economy: all the prices are identical all over the word! Hellmanns' mayonnaise and all the other product you see in the supermarket are globally produced and they are literally the same price! Even in Keynia which in my travel opinion was the poorest and therefore should be the least expensive everything was the same price. It is sad and hard to imagine but that the truth. There are some local products that are very cheap, some local fruits, bread, and eggs but those are minuscule compared to the whole cart of shopping that you do. Yes, the services like a hairdresser or repairs everything that is done manually, then yes those are very cheap. In regards to rents: Yes the rents are cheaper but not that cheap. Those are the prices I paid during the 2021 pandemic per month in good areas and in western-style one-bed apartments: Peru- Miraflores 1100$ ( after 25% discount) for a monthly stay. Chile- Santiago- city center in big duplex, top floor, and double ceiling in living room but the outdated interior, still kind of on the luxury side: 1320$ (after 20% discount), Columbia- Cartagena- La Boquilla- 1650$/month one bedroom but in luxury complex with direct access to the private beach (Cartagena is very expensive compared to rest of columbia), Columbia- Cartagena-Bocagrande: 1350% big two bedroom, top floor with huge private balcony, but very very outdated interior. Columbia- Medellin- Laureles- the most amazing city i have ever been to and the cheapest with Wester infrastructure at least in the city with the most amazing women but every one of them cheats unfortunately which is not considered cheating in their opinion but still, I can't wait to come back: 1200$ beautiful modern one bedroom apartment. DR- Santa Domingo- 1150- very basic outdated apartment but in Malecon, but literally building next door you can get a dingy tiny apartment with nets instead of windows for 200$/month.
For comparison, Keynia- Nairobi- is so poor, with zero infrastructure, and no roads even in the capital, but they do have luxury hotels and apartment complexes but so expensive on what country has to offer: 1640$/ month decent one bedroom in a nice condominium complex (high luxury on their standards). So to summarize this: If you still dreaming about living a high-end lifestyle for almost nothing then forget about it. All those countries have zero standards, no infrastructure, and no roads, and commuting even in the S-Class is a nightmare. You would be better off living in NC- High Point or some decent cities in PA or I'm sure pretty much anywhere except NYC or CA for the same 1000-1500$ with all services like police, medical, and roads for truly the same price. Trust me. The only savings are rents and services but for what cost being in the surrounding that looks like a horror movie. Trust me food is almost the same, and clothes are honestly more expensive then in US. All furnishing alliances are the same price if not more expensive. So yes to build the house or buy an empty apartment is quader of the price then here but everything else will be the same price. Just think logically: everything is produced in those countries and shipped here anyways. Fun fact when I was in Panama the oranges that are produced there are more expensive than those same oranges that came from Panama are cheaper- if you know the mystery tell me please :). True fact. So the moral of the story is this: either you live in the basic "box" but in a high-end area for example NYC or can live in high end "box" and dingy area and you want to have both good things you will need to be rich :))) Let me know your thoughts.
Your comment was so off on Kenya, I am still picking my jaw off the ground 7 days later.
Are your prices in USD???
There was NO PANDEMDIC. Please stop spreading the evils' lies & WAKE UP already.
I agree with other things you said about clothes & they are so low IQ they can't build anything of quality.
But the evils are killing the US. The entire country is under attack with DOR, EMFs, it's a 5G microwave & everything is poison now.
It always was since the 90s, but it's way worse now.
Great video. Living in Germany now far better all around.
me too!
Warm or cold, pref warm - what country should i settle in? 1k a month basically (EUR)
Everything sounds great. However, I would like to know what the crime rate is for each country.
As well as availability for employment and average wages.
Usually, one cannot work in foreign countries, unless you have a special skill that country needs, such as computer programming. You have to become a citizen [marry a local is the easiest route] or get a work visa [usually not allowed] to work and remember, with few exceptions, you will be getting "local" wages. Here in the Puerto Vallarta, Mexico area, we're talking about $25 per day. Most people moving to other countries are retired, for this reason, you can't work. As for crime rate for a country, that really isn't accurate. You need to know the crime rate for the area where you would be living. For example, the US has a very high crime rate, but, there are many safe places. I live in the mountains above Puerto Vallarta, which has a very low crime rate. Other areas of Mexico have higher crime rates. I have walked to my hotel[when visiting] from a club at 2:30 in the morning, alone, and I am a 95 pound woman in my 60's and I was completely safe. Each neighborhood has to be checked for crime, as each will vary.
@@famouskate9071 LOL!
@@famouskate9071 How about a 120 pound woman in her 20's, blond, blue-eyed and very hot. Will I be OK?
I wouldn't trust anything the US puts out for any stats. Just like with the fake news, everything is a lie.
I remember when I lived in Panama they were saying how Panama was so dangerous (this was before I woke up in 2015). I had no idea what they were talking about. Nothing was happening in Panama & I can't stand Panama but only speak the Truth.
Very nice video I enjoyed it very much. Yes it is cheaper to live in Nepal,Indonesia,Vietnam etc with western money.The crazy part is 80 percent of people who live in those countries want to leave for a better life in the west and we want to move into their countries for a cheaper life out of the west .But for us from the west the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence
The grass always requires a close-up view to see how green it really is.
The difference is we know better and they don't...yet.
One thing to keep in mind is that these countries are very rich in culture and landscape but not so good in health care and anti corruption. Although, health care might not be needed as much since the foods they eat there don’t have as many additives as the foods in the USA.
I don't care about health care, if i live until 70 great enjoy life. Look at this famous people soo much money to take care of their health they are in nursing homes. Clint Eastwood handsome during his younger days look at him now, I don't want to get that old.
Costa Rica Heath Care in 38th in world ranking number 2# LatinAmerica Unbelievable fact. (We have ONE of the 5 Blue zones the world. (Peninsula de Nicoya.)
At least the healthcare won’t bankrupt you and US corruption is legal for the rich. ( Insider trading anyone? :)
