It’s not that things change so drastically from year to year, but there are political and exchange rate changes that can make some places fall out of favor and others fall in. There are also changes in visa policies, banking regulations, or the environment for foreigners that can change the landscape. This year is a bit different in the sense that I’m celebrating the release of my new book, A Better Life for Half the Price. Subtitled “How to prosper on less money in the cheapest places to live,” it’s a comprehensive guide to the why, how, and where on moving abroad to cut your expenses in half. There you’ll find more detailed info on the cheapest places to retire around the world, as well as the best places for location independent digital nomads, business owners, and families. And yes, in any of the countries outlined below, you can easily cut your monthly expenses by 5. You can “Cut loose instead of cutting back” because unlike most of the advice you see on frugal living blogs, I’m not telling you to give up what you enjoy or to sacrafice now in order to have a richer retirement (or an early one). If you just change your address, you can live a much better life: go out more, eat better, have a nicer apartment, and hire people to do things you would rather not do yourself—like clean the house. All while spending significantly less each month on bills than you’re spending now. Here are the best bets for cheap living abroad. Sign up for the newsletter for regular updates and a free report, or get great detailed advice with the book or more advanced packages. Cheapest Places to Live in Latin America. For Americans and Canadians, Latin America is the easiest region. You don’t have to deal with jet lag, you can usually find flights for a price that won’t kill you to go back and forth, and if you’re trying to run a business you don’t have to radically alter your schedule to attend conference calls or get in touch with those wanting to hire you for a project. The countries here are used to dealing with foreigners and have fairly straightforward residency application paths. They all give you at least 9. Argentina. When it comes to current events making a place more attractive for foreigners, Argentina is in the top spot this year. Combine a strong dollar with a local financial mess and you get a great climate for someone entering with foreign currency. You need that money from elsewhere to get the full effect of this though, so it’s best to use a service like Xoom unless you will be bringing in a briefcase full of cash on a regular basis. See more info on that in this post: Argentina is Cheap Again. See this other post on the cost of living in Argentina, based on real numbers I got from people living in the country. Besides bargains on rent, good wine, and good food, this is a very easy place to set up residency. You can get legal if you have the patience for Argentina’s legendary bureaucracy, or you can just leave the country every three months (Chile and Uruguay are neighbors) to get a new tourist visa. If you overstay your visa there’s a fine of about $4. Just be advised that there are serious import restrictions in place and the country could collapse at any moment. Locals say there’s a crisis every decade or so and the way things are headed it’s a matter of when, not if. That’s because the peso is 1. I write this, way off its historic norm. Eventually prices will creep up, especially for anything imported or using imported ingredients. The main reason you can live a half price life in Mexico though is because of drastically lower rents, local food prices, and labor costs. Those three things will remain largely unchanged. I’ve posted before on what it costs me and my family to live in Guanajuato, Mexico. This highland area is aided in costs by the fact that houses don’t need to have heat or air conditioning. The weather is nice all year round apart from some rain for a few months. Naturally if you want to move to Playa del Carmen or Puerto Vallarta, you’re’ going to spend much more per month because of higher utility bills and the prevalence of foreign tourists driving up prices. If it’s a place filled with gringos (including Ajijic and San Miguel de Allende in the interior), you won’t see the same savings as you would where there are fewer of them. You can still live a half price life in these places though—many easily do that—and you can always bring down costs by learning to communicate in Spanish and shopping/eating where the locals do. Nicaragua. Central America’s poorest country is a dream destination for anyone looking for a cheap place to settle down and live a laid- back tropical life. If you’re American or Canadian and you ask me where you could pack a few suitcases and take off with just a grand or two in your bank account, this is where I’d tell you to go. You can stay a while on a tourist visa, there’s a good expat support critical mass in place, and you can coast along for cheap while you get established. You’ll probably pay more to fly your surfboard down than you will for your first week’s meals andgroceries. The average after- tax salary in this country is around $6. My pension alone is 3- 4 times what the average Nica makes,” American Jim Lynch told me over coffee in Granada. We live in a big air- conditioned house with a swimming pool. We eat out whenever we want, wherever we want. Medical care is so inexpensive here we don’t even have insurance. We just pay for things as they come up. I had to go to the best hospital in Managua for surgery and it was cheap enough that I put it on a credit card.” Gord and Elisha Mac. Kay have lived in three cities in the country and have paid $3. They’re now paying $3. San Juan del Sur and you can see a breakdown of their $1,4. Nica living expenses in a typical month on their blog. Ecuador. This favorite of International Living and the like has a lot going for it. The places where foreigners settle tend to be highland areas that don’t get too hot, like Cuenca, Quito, and Vilcabamba. So low utility costs are added to low costs for rent, labor, and food. The people I interviewed for my book were paying between $2. Cuenca, that last one being a house of 2,0. Many retirees have bought a house or condo outright for $1. K or less and just have to pay maintenance charges. The family of three running the Gringos Abroad blog usually gets by on $1,0. Nobody I talked to was spending more than $2,0. I visited. There’s a lot to do in Ecuador at a variety of climates: you can hit the coastal beaches or jungle and be at sea level or head into the mountains and be at 1. There are also good incentives for those 6. As long as you can show $8. You don’t have to change money here: the currency is the U. S. Just don’t move here if you’re a lush though: alcohol prices are abnormally high. See more price info here: Cheap Living in Ecuador. Panama. This is not one of The World’s Cheapest Destinations for travel, but it is for living. That’s thanks to great affordable health care, terrific residency incentives, and generally reasonable living expenses. On the health care side, it’s not unusual to pay $2. Panama has the world’s best pensionada program for retirees, but really you don’t have to be retired or even old. You just need to show $1,0. These include 5. 0% off recreation and entertainment activities, 3. They use the U. S. Copa Airlines is based here, so flight connections are good, and there’s a lot to see and do in the country and in nearby ones. Colombia. This country of beautiful countrysides and beautiful women gets more popular each year as the safety situation continues to improve and the word gets out to more people. The favorite city for foreigners is Medellin and you can find out almost everything you want to know about that place from David Lee’s Medellin Living site. There are lot of posts on there with specific costs of living from him and others. As I write this Colombia is more attractive than it has been in years thanks to a rising U. S. Nobody actually likes flying on Spirit Air, but they can get you in and out of Colombia for cheap, flying into multiple destinations direct. Other Cheap Places to Live in Latin America. These are just a few of the options covered in detail in A Better Life for Half the Price. Also look at Peru, where the dollar is stronger than it has been in a while. Or Bolivia, which is super- cheap for a three- month stay on a tourist visa or a longer one if you can get through all the bureaucracy. Speaking of frustrating waits at government offices, that’s the toughest part about moving to Guatemala, another bargain. The crime rate is high there though, if you’re spooked by that, as it is in another bargain place to travel or live: Honduras. The Cheapest Places to Live in Asia. Whenever people ask me where the absolute cheapest places to go as a backpacker are, I’ve been giving the same answer for more than a decade now: India, Nepal, or Indonesia. Those also happen to be some of the cheapest places to live, but none of them make it easy for you to stay long- term. In general, unless you’re from there, have a work permit, or are married to a local, you’ll find it very hard to spend a long stretch of time in the country without doing visa runs. In the case of India and Nepal, you’ll also have to stay out a while too before coming back with a fresh visa to start over. If you’re a digital nomad though or you’re fine with taking off for a few months when the monsoon hits, the payoff is that you can live a good life for under $1,0. The dollar is quite strong right now against all three currencies as well. There are some areas within these countries that are more costly than others, of course. Mumbai and Bangalore are quite costly by Indian standards and Bali is quite expensive by Indonesian standards. If you can venture beyond those, you’ll be much better off. ABC Midseason Schedule: ?
