Where did You get those prices for rent of apartments, food, restaurants and so on? We are going to Chile regularly to visit our family there and the costs are rising year for year. It depends also to the exchange rate of the chilean Peso. But Chile in fact is the most expensive country in South America!

The best place to visit is always the south of Chile, where you will find good and kind people and breathtaking landscapes and where you can still find that harmony and typical village life. Places like, Puerto Varas, Pucon, Frutillar, Chiloe..... may be a little far from the hustle and bustle, but definitely place to consider for your retirement...I was on holiday last year in July and it was a great experience....Although it was in winter, I still enjoyed the hikes to the volcano, rafting, zipline, the good food and the beauty and tranquillity of the surroundings....
Would be well served to consider Bolivia. They speak a slower and much more proper spanish. Even Chilenas say their spanish sounds like birds singing compared to Chilena lengua. It is also much less expensive in Bolivia.
@@williameason1194 As a Chilean I have to admit that the Spanish that many Chileans use is very relaxed and full of slang words, also we speak fast and modulate poorly. However educated Chileans and teachers will always speak proper standard Spanish which is understood everywhere. And most Chileans - not all - will also speak correct and slow standard Spanish if faced with a foreigner. On the other hand once you learn the Chilean Spanish you will be able to understand every other Spanish variation with ease. Yes Bolivian speak good Spanish if their native tongue is Spanish, but many Bolivians use Spanish as a second language. The same can be said of Peruvians but to a less degree, as they have mostly abandoned their native language. From my experience, Venezuelans and Colombians do speak better Spanish in the American countries. With Peruvians in a close second place. But it will be easy for you to live in Chile than to live in any other South American country because the culture and the standard of living is much closer to the USA and you will be safe.
The crime , offenders and narco is wining more and more day by day here in Chile . The laws is very soft . It is beautiful, however , it is being invaded by the local crime and oversea crime . It is sad but true . The government has delayed too much in change the law.
Ronin, Chile seems to be the perfect place to retire to (from an American's point of view). Close enough to the US yet inexpensive. One question: My wife is Chinese, and she would feel more comfortable knowing there is a thriving Asian community so she can get the food she likes to prepare. I read that there are about 200,000 Asian people, mostly Chinese and centered in Santiago. Have you seen that on the ground? THanks!
John Smythe I think you can find Chinese people anywhere in Chile but specially Santiago, many people live there and there are also Chinese stores/malls, restaurants, etc. (You can find places with chinese food, korean food and more) You can be just walking out there and you’ll spot a Chinese person (most of the times)

Chile is living the worst economic crisis in almost 40 Years, the prices went up and show no sign of going down. With the coronavirus pandémic, the goverment allowed people take the 10% of their retirement of the AFP system, IT helped but then Allowed a second, third and fourth 10% retirement, so inflation went to the roof
@@camilamoll3343Thank you for your response. What I have read is that Chile has one of the counties with the lowest national debt and has a relatively high GDP. Furthermore, I was under the impression that the country has an export surplus. It's hard to believe the country is struggling financially .
As soon as Covid 19 finishes I am travelling to Chile and I am very interested in retiring there, a little bit worried about having enough money to retire though. I wonder in the cities outside Santiago how easy/ tough it would be to get a part time job or small business.?
I think as a gringo you should be right for work with so many tourists heading over there now and you will also have a different input and ideas for the locals everything American does very well there.
Is not easy, the minimum wage is about 400 dollars wich explains why Most chileans are in debt, the housing is way to expensive (most wage goes to paying a house that is not even yours, but a rent) and little, in Chile, a normal house is a two bedroom one bathroom house with a few square meters of patio. The calefaction outside Santiago, moving south is primarely wood (moving to parafin and pellets, but mostly wood) wich is expensive and you need to know your trees because some doesnt give good heat. For retirement age is 65, and the retirement fond is delivered every month and for the 60% of people is about 200 dollars so is common to see old people working part time little Jobs or basically being aid by the sons and daughters. But, as hard as it is, people get though, so you can too
I think the people is the best part of Chile, we are very close to each other and have solidarity towards others, we always greet people and are interested in how they're doing, maybe you have not meet the right Chileans

Just found your channel. I looking for a retiring place even i have still 4 more years to work. If i can i want flee earlier from my Country. It has nothing to offer me anymore. But i think about to prepare before. example. buy a property. You made a lot of videos about living in. The Country's on my list are. Costa Rica, Philippines, Chile, Paraguay or Slowenia. But Slowenia is in the EU that makes it unattractive. Because EU is a bad construct. 2 of the mentioned Country's you already has a video, what about the others? My self is German and my Wife is Philippina.
Chile is super expensive and politically unstable. A few years back mobs went on a rampage in Santiago destroying everything in sight even burning down the subway system. The sea water all along the coast is freezing 🥶 due to Humboldt current coming up from the Antarctic. Major socio-economic differences. I’m Chilean and won’t go back.
True but the death rate from earthquakes is actually quite low, also the architecture is built to withstand even the strongest earthquakes .... usually the newer the architecture the safer the building and better building code.
Make sure you realize very few people speak English and Chilean Spanish is not understood by native Spanish speakers from other country in Latin America. There is great uncertainty and violence now because of social unrest. Santiago looks like a war zone in most of the communes. Although the metro is efficient..it is dangerous now with the social unrest. Tourists are targeted. I do not agree with you about Chile being a good place to retire.
@@pocketanime The Mapuches are the indigenous people in Los Lagos and there is quite of bit of bitterness towards others buying up "their" land. With the new government turnover in March, Chile has been downgraded in terms of international investment; there is great uncertainty now that I believe will last for at least 5 years. Chile is not a cheap place to live..and again in those areas you mentioned very few people speak English. In addition if you drive to Los Lagos Región from STGO there is one way to get there..an expensive toll road. There are blockages where they set tires on fire to prevent people from passing and people are robbed. They come out of nowhere. This is not narcotrafficing..just robbery.
@@pocketanime There is resentment and battles over rights to land. And personally I did have a problem with a Mapuche man in Pucón. It took place in front of a local and he was afraid to confront the Mapuche.
I was born in Santiago Chile and I am happy I got out of there just before the Pinochet Military Coup. I would NOT recommend to retire into a country that is getting like Venezuela with the same corruption and communism in which the occupy your house or they burn it if they want and justice does nothing and let criminals and marxists go free and rampant to continue their crimes. I used to go yearly there and enjoy it as a tourist but I stopped visiting in 2019. You have to be stupid to live there with bad efficiency, bad medical service (I am a Doctor) and bureaucracy corrupt and cost of living very high and rising price of Dollars.
Are you saying Chile is a communist country? You clearly are incrediblt ignorant and gullible. That is pure right-wing fearmongering. Chile is not at all a communist country, nor will it ever be.
@@Pyps0403 Recently they voted in a socialist government. A stock I was considering buying went down 20% because their main mine is in Chile and they voted in that government!
For me to live in a country, i must be able to own guns. Hunt animals with those guns and not have my right ever be threatened! I do not care about food. I care about the economy and how it's going in that country. Also, history is very important. Chile has been chile for a very long time and other countries do not want to take it over. I do not want to go to war for a monarch so, they country has to be neutral in a sense. Or far away from everything or politically chill. Cost of living is the next most important thing, but not how you think. Cost of living for me is the ability to grow your own food, because inflation. The ability to own large plots of land and this comes with low property taxes. Further more the total tax for it's citizens is important too. The most important in terms of cost of living is the ability to make money without the governments eye. Just in case i need to. That's pretty much all i need. So, not norway because wildlife can't be killed. Not canada because its almost impossible to own a gun... or new zealand. Not extremely small islands because i think you can't really hunt there.
I am from Chile. And I can tell you first had that Chile is not a place I would choose to live in. Chile is supper expensive. I live in California and when I go to visit my family I am just shocked at the cost of living in Chile. Plus, it's not a safe place. Unless you live in an apartment with security. Let's not forget the social unrest in the 2019. That has never really gone away.
I wanted to retire to Chile, but after left-wing rioters destroyed the country I cancelled my plans, I already have that at home. I will be looking for a country that uses peaceful democratic means to express political opinions.
Very true. The Left is destroying Chile and have covered Santiago in graffiti.

Greetings. The country hasn't been destroyed. Ever heard of the French revolution? Or the American one? Sometimes, change needs to be spurred, or won't happen. In Chile, social inequalities had become unbearable. This video is addressed to people with lots of money; life is quite different when you don't have a house in Las Condes, but in La Pintana, and your retirement pension, privately managed, gives the owners of the insurance companies profits even during international economic crises, whereas your pension won't allow you to eat the whole month. We Chileans are very patient. There were decades of injustice what are being addressed now. Come, if you are brave. This is like America in the XVIII century. No mass shootings.
@@roninblue5885 lol thanks for being cool about it...I was just flipping you shit. Thanks for making this video...very informative sir. God speed in your adventures.
Louise Saint Martine you are a disgusting bully and he’s another level of education that can’t compare with your miserable life. Do you have a mirror ? I bet your fucking ugly or your life is just very miserable for your stupid comment.
As a Chilean, I want to mention that the current political situation is taking the country apart. Chile is under a communist party, which has destroyed the economy and made new investor reconsider their plans. The previous government and the inexperience of the current one, together with its severed communist ideology, have destroyed basic services, such as education and health. the cost of living is no longer the same as six years ago. and if we add illegal immigration that we have. it has turned the main cities into true sewers of immigrants who unfortunately contribute little to the progress of the country.

I looking for a retiring place even i have still 4 more years to work. If i can i want flee earlier from my Country. It has nothing to offer me anymore.
But i think about to prepare before. example. buy a property.
You made a lot of videos about living in.
The Country's on my list are. Costa Rica, Philippines, Chile, Paraguay or Slowenia.
But Slowenia is in the EU that makes it unattractive. Because EU is a bad construct.
2 of the mentioned Country's you already has a video, what about the others?
My self is German and my Wife is Philippina.
Nice to meet you, yes there are so many countries to choose from, I hope you find your gem! I should be out there@
Hello, please consider Frutillar in Chile. It's a beautiful town among a gigantic lake with heavy German heritage. Even a German museum. Cheers!
That country’s the longest drive on the straight line lol
Looking for assistance to obtain Chile visa.
How much do you pay for a 5 or 6 day maid for a month?
👏👏👏👍
🇨🇱💞💙
How do I go in buying a house, ?country side for me,.
@Kavia Victorine. Hi. Point 6 briefly covers the topic.
Getting a lawyer in your local area that understands the specific laws in this country would be what is recommended however.
Chile is super expensive and politically unstable. A few years back mobs went on a rampage in Santiago destroying everything in sight even burning down the subway system. The sea water all along the coast is freezing 🥶 due to Humboldt current coming up from the Antarctic. Major socio-economic differences. I’m Chilean and won’t go back.
Where do you live now ?
@@souiritv8355 She lives in Baltimore
@@michaelkyne7880 ok
What’s it like if you don’t speak Spanish?
Very few people speak any English..even in hotels in Stgo. And it is Chilean Spanish
Almost no one speaks english, is not that the english education is bad, but the people show very little interest on it
my research shows that chile suffers from even more earthquakes than freaking japan!
True but the death rate from earthquakes is actually quite low, also the architecture is built to withstand even the strongest earthquakes .... usually the newer the architecture the safer the building and better building code.
Yes, but the construction technologies and infraestructure here are awesome. Even bridges are prepared for an earthquake.
It trembles every day. You’re having lunch and the chandelier is swinging above your head.
I was searching palestinians and chileans and i arrived here XD.
Make sure you realize very few people speak English and Chilean Spanish is not understood by native Spanish speakers from other country in Latin America. There is great uncertainty and violence now because of social unrest. Santiago looks like a war zone in most of the communes. Although the metro is efficient..it is dangerous now with the social unrest. Tourists are targeted. I do not agree with you about Chile being a good place to retire.
Santiago it's pretty bad to retire but what do you think about Frutillar, Puerto varas and Valdivia? Those places are awesome and very safe.
@@pocketanime The Mapuches are the indigenous people in Los Lagos and there is quite of bit of bitterness towards others buying up "their" land. With the new government turnover in March, Chile has been downgraded in terms of international investment; there is great uncertainty now that I believe will last for at least 5 years. Chile is not a cheap place to live..and again in those areas you mentioned very few people speak English. In addition if you drive to Los Lagos Región from STGO there is one way to get there..an expensive toll road. There are blockages where they set tires on fire to prevent people from passing and people are robbed. They come out of nowhere. This is not narcotrafficing..just robbery.
@@ksmith2852 The Mapuches will not take over Frutillar and Puerto Varas. Those are really peaceful
@@ksmith2852 Chile is not expensive. Just average. Anyone from the US or Europe with good savings can live a peaceful life here.
@@pocketanime There is resentment and battles over rights to land. And personally I did have a problem with a Mapuche man in Pucón. It took place in front of a local and he was afraid to confront the Mapuche.
And Chile doesn't have poisonius snakes or dangerous carnivorous animals for humans
@Roberto Vilches. Thank god there are no poisonous snake! Do you go hiking?
There’s only a venomous spider (araña de rincón) that has a natural predator spider (araña tigre)
Beware of spiders
100 percent agree..never been bitten or stung by anything in Chile. In Mexico and Costa Rica everything wants to eat you!
@@pocketanime I do know of 2 people in Stgo who got bitten by a spider...
🇨🇱🇨🇱
I would NOT want to retire at all….
I was born in Santiago Chile and I am happy I got out of there just before the Pinochet Military Coup. I would NOT recommend to retire into a country that is getting like Venezuela with the same corruption and communism in which the occupy your house or they burn it if they want and justice does nothing and let criminals and marxists go free and rampant to continue their crimes. I used to go yearly there and enjoy it as a tourist but I stopped visiting in 2019. You have to be stupid to live there with bad efficiency, bad medical service (I am a Doctor) and bureaucracy corrupt and cost of living very high and rising price of Dollars.
Are you saying Chile is a communist country? You clearly are incrediblt ignorant and gullible. That is pure right-wing fearmongering. Chile is not at all a communist country, nor will it ever be.
@@Pyps0403
Recently they voted in a socialist government. A stock I was considering buying went down 20% because their main mine is in Chile and they voted in that government!
@@Pyps0403
Gabriel Boric won and he was the socialist candidate
@@prayunceasingly2029 I am Chilean and live in Santiago dude, Boric is not a socialist
@@Pyps0403
All the news about him says he's socialist.
are you sure now?
All medications?
Oxy? MS Contin?
Been on the stuff 16 years, I'm not a druggo, I'm legit.
Chile is a little "retirado,"..
For me to live in a country, i must be able to own guns. Hunt animals with those guns and not have my right ever be threatened!
I do not care about food.
I care about the economy and how it's going in that country. Also, history is very important. Chile has been chile for a very long time and other countries do not want to take it over.
I do not want to go to war for a monarch so, they country has to be neutral in a sense. Or far away from everything or politically chill.
Cost of living is the next most important thing, but not how you think.
Cost of living for me is the ability to grow your own food, because inflation.
The ability to own large plots of land and this comes with low property taxes.
Further more the total tax for it's citizens is important too.
The most important in terms of cost of living is the ability to make money without the governments eye. Just in case i need to.
That's pretty much all i need. So, not norway because wildlife can't be killed.
Not canada because its almost impossible to own a gun... or new zealand.
Not extremely small islands because i think you can't really hunt there.
We have beavers and wild boars in the south of Chile. Invasive species, they can be killed.
I am from Chile. And I can tell you first had that Chile is not a place I would choose to live in. Chile is supper expensive. I live in California and when I go to visit my family I am just shocked at the cost of living in Chile. Plus, it's not a safe place. Unless you live in an apartment with security. Let's not forget the social unrest in the 2019. That has never really gone away.
No sticking around, lazy !
Food in Chile is more expensive than Brasil l
😂😂😂
I wanted to retire to Chile, but after left-wing rioters destroyed the country I cancelled my plans, I already have that at home. I will be looking for a country that uses peaceful democratic means to express political opinions.
Very true. The Left is destroying Chile and have covered Santiago in graffiti.
Greetings. The country hasn't been destroyed. Ever heard of the French revolution? Or the American one? Sometimes, change needs to be spurred, or won't happen. In Chile, social inequalities had become unbearable. This video is addressed to people with lots of money; life is quite different when you don't have a house in Las Condes, but in La Pintana, and your retirement pension, privately managed, gives the owners of the insurance companies profits even during international economic crises, whereas your pension won't allow you to eat the whole month.
We Chileans are very patient. There were decades of injustice what are being addressed now.
Come, if you are brave. This is like America in the XVIII century. No mass shootings.
Things might change is Kast wins this Novembers presidential election.
Wow, the amount of ignorance and idiocy in these three comments is astonishing!
Actually Puerto Varas, Frutillar and Valdivia are very peaceful to live and there is a lot of culture, nature and european migrants.
I am from Chile I will never live there no way
Why would you not want to live there? Or did you mean "leave", not "live"?
😂🤣😂
Why don’t you want to live in Chile?
Awesome, stay away from Chile, we don’t want anymore Communists in here. Aweonao.
Learn Spanish and respect Hispanic Culture or nothing.
You need to retire that hair cut bruh
@Louise Saint Martine. Haha, yes I have. Was going through a phase of wanting to grow it once.
@@roninblue5885 lol thanks for being cool about it...I was just flipping you shit. Thanks for making this video...very informative sir. God speed in your adventures.
Louise Saint Martine you are a disgusting bully and he’s another level of education that can’t compare with your miserable life. Do you have a mirror ? I bet your fucking ugly or your life is just very miserable for your stupid comment.
@@sheilagonzalez4768 chill tfo, he wasn't offended. Why are you?
Terrible pronunciation of place names.
As a Chilean, I want to mention that the current political situation is taking the country apart. Chile is under a communist party, which has destroyed the economy and made new investor reconsider their plans. The previous government and the inexperience of the current one, together with its severed communist ideology, have destroyed basic services, such as education and health. the cost of living is no longer the same as six years ago. and if we add illegal immigration that we have. it has turned the main cities into true sewers of immigrants who unfortunately contribute little to the progress of the country.
