    Been living in El Salvador as an American with my wife. We spend nearly half of your monthly expenses out here in Opico!. Usually monthly we spend around 400/600 dollars depending on what we need

      @@twopeopleinparadise We’re just really strict with our money but not too strict because we do spend occasionally on pupusas, clothes, etc; but we never make it a habit.
      A lot of it is buying fresh vegetables locally and making fresh meals, preserving water and electricity when needed, and never spend on stuff you most definitely don’t need!
      Our rent is 200 for a house that has a lot of space and a yard, we got really lucky with this find. The further away from cities and tourist areas you are, the cheaper prices will be. We pay around 19 dollars in water, 23 dollars in electricity and around 20 for internet each month, nothing too out of this world.
      Most of the time we stick to eating eggs and beans, both which are very cheap and will last you a fairly long time. As long as you know how to make them right, you’ll never get tired of it. Also taking public transportation such as buses when you need to reach a far location is a very cheap option.
      My wife is my love but also my financial advisor! She’ll never let me spend on something too crazy. I’ve always been used to spending a lot of money when I lived in the US, but here has taught me to be more responsible and realistic with what I should and can buy. I don’t speak Spanish so it helps her from stopping me since I can’t buy stuff alone lol. I love it here in El Salvador and it feels more alive and comfortable, I wouldn’t have it any other way 🇸🇻

Our car's insurance by geico is $80 a month, our house's mortgage is $800.00. Electricity is $200. Our internet is $60. I fill up my car every week $30 dollars.

    I thought you might like a comparison of what things are costing in BC (Vancouver Island) now. Some things we are refusing to buy because of the inflated prices but here are some comparisons from early December 2022. - Bananas $1.52 / kg. - 30 flat of eggs $9.19 - Ground Chicken $1.76 /100 g. - 4 l jug of 2% milk $5.49 - Iceberg Lettuce $5.00 EACH - English Cucumbers $2.79 each - Beefsteak Tomatoes $2.06 each - 10lb. bag of russet potatoes $7.00 - Limes .87 each (Prices are from the biggest chain in Canada - Superstore)
    Walmart Grocery division has better prices on some items but are U.S. based.

    I live in Asia and I am from East Europe. So I looked at the comments and see many American's thinking this is all so cheap. For me it is very expensive when I listen to these prices. It is the rent part that shocks me. I pay 300 to 500 USD a month for rent. Transport is nothing expense with Grab or Bolt for me. Food prices more or less similar. I spend 1200 to 1500 a month but I have a very middle class to luxury life in East Europe/Asia not a cheap life where I count money. But still I am interested to move there as it is a new country of hope. Europe is dying and West 'democracy' is really people control like communisim I came from long ago. So I guess it depends on where you are from in the world as to what is 'cheap;'. Thank you for your video

    Thank you for this video! Btw… you can propagate all of your produce, either by sprouting, planting, or rooting from the produce you buy every week!! There are a ton of TH-cam videos about the best way to propagate each type of plants that you eat! According to your video, that means that eventually you could save $45.00 a month on produce. Also, you didn’t mention how much you spend on dog food for your beautiful fur baby (did he/she move with you from Canada?).

    Super selectos is expensive.. but a local markets it cheaper.. also if you take the bus it costs quarters to move. Just slower transportation.

    Do you find lots of organic options at grocery stores? Excellent video!

    • @twopeopleinparadise
      @twopeopleinparadise  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The organic food comes mostly from local vendors, but you have to have a good eye. Many of the vendors buy food from the major producers just as the grocery stores do. There are some vendors who drive around on trucks selling fruit they picked from the jungle. They always have the best fruit at the best price, if you can track them down.

    First, I want to send some love from Montreal! You guys are inspiring. I was born in El Salavdor, but I've been in Canada all my life. I was wondering if you could recommend a nice place to settle (not in the city persay... Montreal is not my thing) something like where you guys are at. A place to have your own chicken, for example. 😅 Thanks for your videos. They give a true sense of reality in El salvador

    • @twopeopleinparadise
      @twopeopleinparadise  ปีที่แล้ว

      Many, many people have their own chickens all over the country. We were just speaking with a couple that lives near El Zapote, on the western side of the country. They have a little homestead out there. If you'd like us to connect you, drop us a DM on Twitter!

      We haven't been to one yet, but the time for that is soon. Some recommendations have come from our subscribers, and we will be documenting our experience. This will be part 3 of the 'Cost of Living' series, within a month!

    Thanks for sharing so detailed information. Regards from Miami. Be careful with autofocus on your camera. I think autofocus does not help when one is too close to the camera.

    • @twopeopleinparadise
      @twopeopleinparadise  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh yes, thank you we are aware. Problem is that the autofocus feature is enabling itself after we disable it. It's really frustrating!
