On average, how much does it really cost to live in Jamaica?

Different family circumstances are different, however an average cost and a general idea of how much it costs to live in Jamaica is always helpful when planning a move.

Places

I pay JPS, Flow and property taxes online from Canada. I also pay my gardner via western union. Standing in lines is so painful in Jamaica, it takes an entire day😢

[@ListedInTheSouth]

That's the way to do it 🙂. If your gardener has paypal or willing to have you directly deposit his payment in his checking acct, you wouldn't have to bother with western union.

[@LifewiddiJamFams]

@sistageelewis4959 Certainly, you are able to pay online. Some people pay from the apps that are available and a range of different ways. 💎💯
The exercise and social interaction are the pay offs on bill days. The queues are lessen if you work out the timing; the time of the month, day of the week and hours of the day. 😎🎉

[@woodsley90]

I pay ALL my bills online, takes 5 minutes. Change your FLOW plan. Why are you paying $10,000? I have internet, phone and TV and I pay around $7500 for all three.

[@LifewiddiJamFams]

It very much depends on the plan! Will look into it further... 💯✨🎉

[@loiselliott-uh8jj]

Thank you for sharing, am going to review my mums flow plan..she is paying far too much and getting a rubbish service.

[@byaran1]

What town is that?

[@LifewiddiJamFams]

That's in the cool hills of Mandeville 🎶💯🌟

[@lynfoster6493]

JPS could pay at post office

[@LifewiddiJamFams]

Thanks for sharing! 💎

[@lynfoster6493]

Try and slab some of it

[@LifewiddiJamFams]

That's surely a way to reduce the need for a gardener or at least the gardening cost. 💎💯

[@lynfoster6493]

$1 thousand dollars a year for property tax

[@LifewiddiJamFams]

That's definitely not for everyone, because it depends on the location, size, usage and how recent the land costs were evaluated. 💯💎🤔

[@kwacou4279]

Why not pay online?

[@LifewiddiJamFams]

That's what we were accustom to. However, the exercise and social interaction is the pay off. 💯🎶✨

[@kwacou4279]

@@LifewiddiJamFams As a Jamaican, we can get a bit sensitive about things. The assumption is, were backwards, live in ghettos and chat pure patois. You coming from England might not be as sensitive about stereotypes. The video comes across we don't have the ability to do transaction online. If you look at most videos posted, it appears we all live in garrisons. Most of these vloggers overlook where 90% of Jamaicans live and focus on the 10% ghetto dwellers as though the norm.

[@LifewiddiJamFams]

Many people pay on apps and other online platforms. Thanks for bringing it to our attention and we'll ensure that people are aware of all the available options. 💎💯
