In particular, by people who prefer to look for the cheapest (without wanting to judge). But 'the cheapest' is exactly what you will not find in these values, because in many cases they only have a very limited impact. We use averages. Not just/only 'the cheapest' or 'the most aff...

How Much Does Is Cost To Live In Panama / How Far Will $1000 Get Me In Panama City?
not accurate at all
About the 1:00 mark you said “Average net income in Costa Rica is about $888.33” per WHAT? Per week? Per month? Per year?
Per month.
Rent is way too high, thanks I’ll look somewhere else, Philippines sounds better
Let's put this video title into perspective; The Majority of Cubans survive on $10-$15 per month or about $180 per year. Therefore, $1000 would equate to about 5.5 years of Cuban's average salary. It is an idiotic question. You obviously have never been to Cuba or know too much about Cuba.
That's not where the video is about. It's about how far YOU (a foreigner/retiree willing to live in Cuba (or elsewhere)) will pay for costs. What you did was not putting the video into perspective, you ridiculed the video with information - although partially correct -, not reflecting what the video is about. My partner is Cuban, but that doesn't mean I need to explain what the situation is for Cubans. Besides, just saying their average salary is only $10, they don't pay rent (at least 90% doesn't) and they receive other ways of benefits for food (although hard to find). So, you didn't put anything from a correct perspective, au contraire, you made it even more complicated for people (foreigners) who will probably never have the same experience, living in Cuba. Let alone, for many, it'll not even be possible to retire or live in Cuba.
i was going to move to Costa Rica But i think i will move to Dominican Republic instead because is much cheaper
How is this true. From what I’m told Cubans don’t have a mortgage or rent. They don’t even make 300 month a lot of times. Something is off here
Hey! Thanks for your comment. You are correct! But the videos are meant for people wanting to move or retire or live there temporary. Cubans salary doesn't cover their financial needs neither, so thinking their salary is sufficient to survive is an incorrect perception. 90% of Cubans don't pay rent and receive other food benefits (although foods are hard to find). Who ever, will stay in the country will have to pay rent, and Cubans renting prices are in perfect balance with gringo budgets, not based on way of Cubans living. That's why 'something is off here'. ;-)
Leave it to Americans to say paying $6.50 is better than $12.00 in the U.S. But what they don't tell you is the price was $3.25 before they moved in and got this huge bargain. 😂
You are correct, sir! They (foreigners, unintentionally) drive up the prices very fast, very high at this moment... Renting prices in Boquete for example became so expensive that locals can't afford renting anymore. Second, and off course, locals aren't stupid either... If the money is there, why would you sell your products too cheap, right?
These prices are not correct. Ive been to Cuba twice, these prices are not valid. You can rent a house for $50-$100 a month
Can you guide me? I am trying to move there
@@mariuszmaslanka9961 What would you like to know?
Links, addresses and proof
As a foreigner, cost of living abroad is important only for those who plan to visit the place. Therefor , Information about visa options and residency options are critical
Doesn't mean we have to look it up for you. We help with some prices, and give some visa info, but we are not going to dive deeper into the subject. The videos are meant to be short and partially informational, focused on prices. When wanting to move or live somewhere else, I'll advise you to search / investigate several sites and listen or watch different perspectives and opinions and not base your moving on an incomplete video where the main subject is prices. You'll find YT video's that go deeper into the subjects you're looking for... Even better would be searching for the main important sites, like the governmental website for this type of subjects and not ours.
Prices in Havana are ten times lower
We give AVERAGES! What means you will find cheaper, but also much more expensive prices. Most prices are based on what tourists / foreigners will pay, not only what Cubans will.
@00:44 sorry Mexico is not "historically located in North America", Mexico is physically located in North America.
Thank you for nitpicking on the details. Most viewers couldn't find Mexico on the map. I hope they do now.
To the point, which is what I like.
You have never been there there is no meat or chicken or pork and don't forget you are in a comie country
My partner is Cuban, so been there more than enough. Maybe now there is no chicken but one day there was. The video is about prices, not about how the sad situation is today in Cuba due to politics that are not relevant to these videos.
Unrealistic information
There is also a video that explains where the numbers come from and what average means. I suggest you have a look at that video.
I would say this is accurate enough.
Are your prices close to being accurate, because your videos use the exact same clips.
Clips have nothing to do with what the text is about. Some clips are being re-used, cause that info is relevant to all videos. The more relevant texts about the country are video's from that country. Weird you don't see that. 😏
This is a brilliant channel and enterprise! Well done

A person in the comments made a very good point about prices in Panama. Americans are over paying for everything which is driving the prices up. He states if you just talk to the locals you will get a way better deal. If I have to pay these high prices I might as well stay in the US.
Honestly? I’m now over 4 years in Panama. I can’t understand people who are looking for a nice place to enjoy the rest of their years but don’t want to get rid of their “burnt in” thinking. Last week, I had someone again saying: “Do you know what that would cost me in xxxxxxx?” I honestly would like to know if most Expats do think like that. Does nobody doing their research to get some “basic information “ about living expenses in countries they like to retire? When I write about prices in Panama, and explain how people pay the double or more for rent compared to locals, I don’t mean that the locals live in a horrible place. In the most cases, the local people live just at the same floor or across the street in the same building or area. But everyone has his own ideas. People who travelled a lot in their lives do know that there are “tourist prices” or Gringo prices. Panama isn’t New York, Washington, Amarillo, Miami or Los Angeles. Actually I had a talk with a Panamanian last weekend and was surprised when he asked me about my living area. “Is it safe to live there without having a 24/7 security?” I smiled and said: It’s Panama. And the 1st time a Panamanian did asked me that “Gringo question”. So I asked him if he deals a lot with Expats. 37 years he is in business with foreigners. “Now I understand.” - I said. You are a Gringo already…. That was a weird question from a Panamanian and caught me off guard. - And yes. I understand that people have maybe sold a property in North America or Europe, even maybe their company and received a couple million dollars. Good for them! But throwing money around only because they can do it without consideration of the local market is not good for anyone who lives here. That’s why the Panama real estate market is completely screwed up. In what country, developers offer “new houses” for sale in 2023/24 they were build in 2012? Never sold in 11/12 years! Or Expats trying to sell their homes for 5 years or longer? If this would happen in the USA - Americans would use their common sense and keep the fingers off the market and their money in the bank! But hey. That’s only my opinion.
@@holgermessner851 I plan to move out of the US but currently I live in a place called Port Saint Lucie Florida and what’s happening to the locals there is happening to locals in my area. New Yorkers are moving down here in groves and they driving the housing market up.
For sure, but that is not what the video is about. Still, when choosing area's where majority of reteirees/foreigners live and locals know, for sure they gonna want to make some extra bucks from it. Nothing to blame there. That's how markets work and for sure higher prices will have a bigger impact on average prices, giving it a 'surreal' outcome. In my experience in Panama is to avoid 'real estate' companies when looking for something to rent. They are not shy to ask 3 to 4 times the amount for something similar you could find from a 'local'. In Boquete and around prices go from 350$ (local owned) to +2100$ (real estate). Off Course in this case not similar houses. Just to explain how wide prices can go.
@kencampbell589 Lived in nyc for 30 yrs. I understand. Those New yorkers who have that money are moving everywhere in nyc that "was ghetto n poor" and raising the prices.
I agree! Good video's btw. Every single week again. 👍
How are medical facilities rated? How much is medical insurance in Panama?
We are very curious about your opinion or comments you would like to add. Tips are also welcome, so we can make better video's.
Are these prices in US currency? Because you're putting a comma in between the numbers instead of a period
Man, good content. Congrats
The stock foootage and basic approach to this video completely misses the point that these are the prices IF you can find these items. How many hours are you willing to wait for gas? Want milk? You have a chance as a tourist, but not necessarily every day. The food and basic aupply situation is DIRE in Cuba right now. It is an amazing place but sadly in crisis as of early 2024. I just got back from an amazing trip there, but lost a decent amount of weight because i didnt want to just eat ham and rice everywhere. You can get some decent food as a tourist, but you will pay almost US prices. Also the internet works when it feels like it.
I agree, but it would be very disrespect showing how poor the country became as videomaterial or that people need to look very hard to find food and other things. The videos are not made to promote or talk bad about a country. That's not the point of the video.
@@CostOfLivinginTheWorld I don't think it's disrespectful to repeat the view of literally every Cuban I met. As I said, I and they believe that Cuba is amazing. It's a beautiful country. It just experiencing very difficult times and looks wildly unlike the videos chosen. You might as well have shown people on a ski lift in a blizzard as people browsing giant, produce-filled markets. Saying "the price of petrol" next to a person rolling into an available gas pump doesn't paint a remotely accurate picture for travelers and honestly could create an unsafe situation if people go their wildly unprepared or educated.
AI generated content
No, it is not A I. generated. Where do you get that from? 🙄
Absolutely not true. Panama is expensive but internet research is far from reality. You can rent in Panama City for $300/month 2 bedrooms which is still high
@@CostOfLivinginTheWorld yes the average is still wrong. Average is Not what expats pay. Have you been to Panama? I just got back a few weeks ago. My friend for 15 years has a professional job and she couldn’t afford these prices you researched from some websites. Just not true. In the suburbs near tocumen the new condos there are renting for $500 a month and that is even high end. Most retirees live in the west of the country near the Costa Rican border. Boquilla, and David. Much cheaper but those prices have gone up coz of Americans and the locals don’t like that.
@@nanakworlddear, it might sound a bit over the top, but if you only would have 2 prices, let's say 300$ rent as cheapest and let's say 2000$ rent for most expensive (and I assure you, P. City has them, even Boquete). The average of both numbers is 1150$ as average price for rent. Clearly way of and very far from cheapest possible. So, some would say the numbers are misleading, but they're not.
When I read these comment I just have to laugh. Wanna know why ? Been living in Maryland for the past 28 years. Got me a room in a basement and paying $650.00, yes a room. Be going back to Panama for good in a few months. Do you want to know how much is going to be my mortage ? One hundred and seventeen with ninety cents. ($117.90). And you want to say Panama is expensive ? My brother's mortgage is $120.00. Everyone experience is not the same.
@@CostOfLivinginTheWorld Some of the comments are next level on your video. I've been living here for 5 years & there is a big difference between pricing from real estate companies but there is also a big difference between a "local" & "American" style place. Many local places don't have hot water, laundry in the home which I don't consider an upgraded home. It's not about having granite counters & updated kitchens. So, if one is renting a $300 home in Las Tablas, you likely won't have hot water to take a shower in, so one has to figure out what their most haves are.
These prices are VERY difficult to believe. In a country where a doctor might make $50/month… rent is over $300 ??? Have you been to Cuba ???
Dear, averages are about Havana, NOT Cuba over all. Most people DON'T pay rent, since most houses are owned by the goverment. So, rent prices will be in most cases what (foreign) people pay that stay short term. That might be one reason why the average is high for Cuba.
There is a huge difference between being 'cheap' and being fiscally responsible. When I head down to Panama in May I will eat in season and off the backs of trucks. Paying more for the same thing just because it's in an Americanized store makes zero sense to me. Same for housing. If I can be quite happy in an $800 unit even though I could afford more, then that is what I'll be doing an d saving my money for travel. I have gone to Uruguay, Argentina, and SE Asia to look at retirement options so I've already found what 'cheap' is and that would never be my major consideration for choosing one country over another. I also would never want to push out locals because I overspend and effectively price them out of their own market. I just see that as selfish and a big FU to my new country. 🇵🇦🇨🇦
"I also would never want to push out locals because i overspend and price them out of their own market". So much respect, we have the same thing going on in my country as well. If only everyone was as considerate.. The way most expats spend is like you've given a child crazy amounts of money to go wild with.
You should review your prices
New York is also very expensive I've seen on your channel.
20 dollars for a movie and 60 for the gym? Crazy! McDo is average i guess, but 100 for dining for 2? 😐 and 8 for beer??? Are you sure?? Pfff, ...
Can you do Spain next please 🙌🙌
April 8th. ;-)
Heating and cooling? That's not needed in San José, as San José has that eternal spring climate. One big advantage.
Lalely it is kinda hot, you need a/c
Was just there and needed AC
Thanks! Good to compare with Panama. Another popular destination for retirees. 👌
Yes, indeed. Thank you for your opinion.
DO NOT MOVE TO PANAMA this country sucks. The crime is way out of control. The Corruption is extreme. If you get sick just kiss your A..s goodbye because you’re dead. Panama is Racist ass Hell it’s almost as bad as how Jim Crow was in the US. The mosquitoes and pest are everywhere. Let’s not forget the Trash they don’t pick up the trash. Panama is extremely expensive. Now can someone explain why are the prisoners in Panama have firearms ? The people are extremely rude and folks glorify the thug life. Not a place to raise your kids. The men are extremely disrespectful to their women. Panamanian’s are also big on witchcraft. Cartel Drug trafficking is very common it’s not safe anywhere. Folks don’t live there, please people don’t believe the hype. Power outages and water shortages is very common. Lastly, the cost of living is high no different than cities such as Los Angeles and New York. Please again don’t move there it’s not worth it.
My people please don’t be deceived these are folks that are just trying to lure you Into moving to this disastrous place. This country is a menace. I lived there myself and I hated it the experience was pure HELL please don’t do this to yourself. I wouldn’t wish this place on my worst enemy. Especially if you have a family and you’re a senior citizen.
Very sorry if that was your experience, but I can't say the same. I was there for over 4 months and had a great time. Many retirees live in Panama from all over the world and most are very happy. We are not luring anyone into anything, we just give numbers. 😏
I stayed in Panama City during the Covid period for about 4 months. Yes, you can certainly 'survive' on $1000 a month, but then you have absolutely no room for comfort for yourself. On the contrary, the cheapest locations have no glass (but you see that everywhere in Panama) and you also have to share the apartment with others to be able to rent something for $300. That 70% of apartments are vacant is a blatant lie in Panama City. In El Cangrejo you can usually find something cheap, but it is certainly not true that they throw apartments at you with low prices. The bare minimum, during Covid, when prices were already cheaper than normal, I still paid over 350$ for a shared house. Let alone find something for just yourself at that price. No idea where you live, but P. City is definitely much more expensive than you suspect. Please don't pay too much attention to this man's claims, because for a large part of Panama, what he claims is not true at all. @holgermessner851, @CostOfLivinginTheWorld,
I’m living 4 years now in Panama. I lived in Panama City. The Las Tablas area, living now in Nueva Gorgona. Did visit some other areas. In Panama City, Boquete, Valle de Anton - $1,000 getting you nowhere! Too many expats living there. Las Tablas & Nueva Gorgona you can live on $1,000. But not in a gated community or where many expats especially from the USA overpay absolutely everything. They don’t use their brains. I pay $350 for a 2 bedroom house. And yes. A couple streets away, Americans pay $1,800. Why? If you ask them you get the answer every American is giving me for 4 years: “DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS WOULD COST ME IN THE USA?” Short response from me: “Wake up. You aren’t in the USA anymore!!” Most local people can’t afford this high rents Americans pay. They even can’t maintain their homes in Panama City as they should. And don’t forget. Real Estate is overpriced in Panama because of the Americans. If someone is a Millionaire because he just sold a company or the house he got from his parents for a couple millions of dollars, that doesn’t make it right either. Most properties Americans bought and like to sell are on the market for many years! They paid too much and still like to make a profit. This isn’t working. Where I live, my neighbors make around $20 a day. Imagine that. Some make $40 a day. But they can’t find work for every day in the week. If you still compare prices with prices from your home country, make us all a favor and don’t come to Panama please. Do your research RIGHT! Look what people make over 1 year in Panama. It’s around $14,000 a year! And now think again why locals don’t like Americans. They disturb the whole economy! $ To this video. Not one thing he mentioned is right on rent. Gringos get Gringo pricing! I explained now many of my friends not to use a realtor if they look for an apartment. One of my friends learned that the hard way. First he paid for a run down skyscraper apartment with 2 rooms $1,900! He wondered why I could rent a house for $450. I don’t use realtors. I asked him to ask security guards in the area if they know apartments who are available and the prices. First he didn’t liked it. When his lease was up for renewal, he started walking. He ended up with a nice place, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms for $800! Imagine that. He saved $1,000 by asking local residents about apartments. That’s how this works in Panama. Internet? 300Mbits up and down, fiberglass is $41 a month! Cellphone is $21 unlimited data. Where this gentleman get his information from??? A bus ticket 35 cents?? To use the small Toyota buses it is regulated and costs $1.50 one way! Using the bigger travel buses to visit other provinces it starts with $2.50 for pensioners and $3.50 regular! If all videos have that bad research, holy cow. Movie tickets? $2.50 in Coronado area.
Thank you for all your info, but again as repeated several times, prices given are averages. That means an average of cheapest and most expensive. I seriously don't understand why people think that every single appartment will only be the price given in the video. It can for sure go way under what we say or way more to what we say. Prices are by official numbers. But that doesn't always feel as what we experience.
Besides, the prices in the video are averages for Panama City, not for the country as a hole. Very important to realise (although explained in the video, many seem to missed that part). 😉
@@CostOfLivinginTheWorld The rents in Panama are somewhat lower if you do your search yourself. Not everyone has to live close to the millionaires.
Not everyone searches for the cheapest. Most search for what is convenient to them. Prices do not always come first for most people, as it does to you. In fact, most who write comments as you, spend most of their life on how to live the cheapest, but that doesn't count for all. Sad, you consider anyone who spends more money on rent than you 'a millionaire' or stupid/waste of money. I more or less have the feeling you can't spend as much as you would like to, because of a limited budget. We all have the right to choose our own life, including how we want to spend our money. Besides, the videos are meant for people (from outside the country) to consider living or retiring in Panama. It doesn't represent 'how cheap' it is to live in Panama. That's not even the point of the video. The videos are not meant as 'Hey, this is the cheapest we could find'. We talk about averages for certain cities and/or countries in the world. But, I think it would be a good idea, in future video's to explain given prices to the countries average, so people have a better idea of how expensive a certain region is compared to, for example, the cheapest. Thanks anyway for your opinion.
@@CostOfLivinginTheWorld A lot of us people who live in Panama and are not Americans, do know, that we aren’t in our home countries anymore. I honestly hear only from Americans the same excuse like: Do you know how much money this would cost me in the USA? Btw. I have around $4,000 for each month to spend IF I WOULD LIKE TO. But I am not crazy. Listen. To explain myself. Since I live in Panama, I do hear mostly Americans who talk about high rents and food in the supermarkets. I even had some couples driving by to see what 2bed room houses for $350 a month look like. I even was invited from a couple who paid $3,500 !!! a month 2 streets away. He is actually a millionaire but he was on the brink of leaving Panama because “everything “ was very expensive. Sometimes you need to explain to people that they do not have to pay that much to live good. The couple did buy a place real cheap because they were listening. You don’t need a realtor who honestly shows you the most expensive properties he has on his list. The best deals is by mouth to mouth. Anyway. With 60-70% of empty apartments in Panama City, you can get a deal too. Like I mentioned before. If I would like to spend all my money every month, I could do that. But that’s not my nature. If I think that something is a deal I just buy it. This is how I got my lot in Panama. I do not buy in supermarkets my fruits or veggies. I buy them by far cheaper on the road side. Most fruits are free in Panama anyway when they have season. They just grow wild. And again. Panamanians make $845 a month (your video). People who like to live or retire here should keep that in their minds when they look for apartments or houses. Thanks.
Hey! Very interesting to hear. N.Y. is indeed very expensive. Seen all other video's too, like the one from Singapore and Dubai. Also 2 expensive cities to live. Thanks for the video's. I hope to see all of them in the future. What's next? 🙂
Glad to hear you're happy. 🥳
What's the avg monthly salary of an English teacher in bangkok?
That's not up to us to look that up for you. ☺️ We can advice you to look that up in others specific channels. I can advice you to look up the YT channel from youtube.com/@PaddyDoyle he was a teacher working in Thailand. He might be able to answer that question. ❤️
Are those dollar prices based on bkack rate? 1 dollar is around 120 pesos.
those price are prob for foreigner who dont know about their local prices
lived in bangkok for 7 years, easily always found a 1br apartment for around 300USD, the quoted 700 is quite luxurious indeed
All is possible, but I need to point out, as we say several times in all the video's and in the text underneath, these are all average prices, based on highest and lowest prices. Around $300 could be possible, but it doesn't mean that the majority of houses in Bangkok are around $300. Weird, that 'average' is so misunderstood. As if we are pretending, rent starts at $700. Besides, numbers are based on official statistics, not by putting our thumb in the air and guess a number. There's a difference between personal experience and statistics.
@@CostOfLivinginTheWorld have you looked into houseing apps for bangkok? I'm sure you'll find many great places for 300-400$ range. Many condos in bangkok also have pools as well.
What are your experiences with prices and rates in Dubai? Do you find the rental prices in Dubai affordable? What do you think of the food prices? Do you have any other interesting tips for us?

Thanks for the post, far too high (comparing to Turkey where we live currently (lived in Netherlands, UK, Luxembourg and Hungary). As per your post no way in Thailand (Bangkok)
prices in cuba are a lot cheaper than he is quoting. his prices a black market prices.
As I explained prices are a combination of what tourists are charged and what locals pay. Prices change on daily bases in Cuba and as explained it also depends on how much cup's you get for your dollars.
The prices might be "a lot cheaper" lf you're able to "find" anything!!! Even if the chicken "appears" by some miracle in the shop and quite rearly, you'll spend hours waiting in the cue and still won't be guaranteed to purchased it!!!
