I find many sites listing inexpensive places to retire but they hardly know anything about those countries they cover except they are cheap to live in.
If you wanna live like a local you can live and Belize on $1000 a month but most Americans cannot do that. You need at least 2000 a month. If you want to live like you do in the US, you’re gonna need a lot more than that. Keep in mind most things are imported which adds to the cost of living. If you’re gonna live on San Pedro, everything is imported. You will also be a target for every scammer in the country. please understand where you would be moving before you do it. It’s not like Vacation.
I think it depend on where you want to live and what you mean "live you do in the US". There are all types of people and ways of living in the USA, and if you are a couple or single person.
Jamaica and South Africa have massive crime rates and should be avoided even as a tourist. When I stayed at a resort in Jamaica, there were armed guards at all gates of the 8' high fence surrounding the property. Read the crime stats if your personal safety is important to you.
Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.
I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second daughter. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks.

It is because educated, employable, highly sincere, truthful Indian Youngsters are seeking to improve their lives by working anywhere in the world. Such a section of the population is very high in India, given our numbers. in some cases, our working/ eager to work population is, that of many times larger than the whole population of some of the fairly big countries. And also, Indian people show remarkable resilience in adapting themselves to new regions and lifestyles. Maybe all because, they want to have a better life. Very remarkable and stoic.... ability to grind and persevere. Humanity should praise such spirits!
The cost of living in Malaysia is affordable but the new MM2H visa requirements are not. In addition, the rules keep changing so it can be hard to plan on retiring there. There are several versions of MM2H and it is not longer possible to apply directly. Applicants must use a registered agent, and their fees are not cheap either.
Such valuable information for anyone planning to retire, travel, or live abroad! It's great to see affordable options where English is widely spoken. This video definitely gives some great ideas for those seeking a cost-effective and comfortable lifestyle
Many of these countries are not safe unless you remain within the walls of a resort. The Caribbean islands mentioned would be a bad choice for the LGBTQ community. I have friends from some of these islands and they left because their lives were in danger.
India is a beautiful country but if I have to live there, I would choose Jaisalmer for its Desert, Shimla for its forest, Srinagar for its beautiful lake and Leh for its majestic, snow-capped mountains. Reason common to these 3 places are less or almost not dusty (I am allergic to dust hehehe) Cities like Mumbai, New Delhi, Kolkata are chaotic, a bit untidy and noisy.
The Philippines is the cheapest English speaking country for retirement.Everybody speaks english,people are generally polite,nice tropical weather,and the only predominantly christian country in Asia.
Agreed. It’s just not as developed as Malaysia. If you’re retired it would be great, but the infrastructure can be unreliable if you’re a digital nomad.
LOL! I second that! I was born there and grew up in the U.S. I'm near retirement, but there is no way I could retire there comfortably as I can in many other countries like Colombia, DR, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, and some African countries. I wish the ridiculous cost and bad infrastructure wasn't so, but it is what it it is, and with the oil boom, it's only going to get worse. I'll continue to just visit. Sad!!!
Where did you get your info from sir ??????? Dominica is more quiet than st Lucia and less crime with friendly people and low crime. The lowest in the Caribbean. Guyana and Jamaica shouldnt be there. High in crime. If ppl follow your info they might loose their lives
You had St. Lucia right on the first try, then changed it to lou-SEE-uh just a second later. Also, Grenada was pronounced greh-NAH-dah and greh-NADE-uh. In Olly Richards' video on countries with a really strange brand of English, Guyana is included as almost unintelligible, and the country nearly roadless outside the capital of Georgetown. You called it guy-AH-na most of the video, then switched to ghee-AH-na toward the end. (?!); beng-guh-LOO-roo should be BANG-guh-lore, India. Philippines I can agree is a beautiful place, as I've visited 3 times, and there are quite a few Filipinos here where I live. St. Kitts' sister island is KNEE-viss, rather than NEV-iss. In our school days, Belize was known as British Honduras.
The dollar costs this vologer is giving out is totally misleading, his numbers need to be doubled to have a reasonable retirement, it needs to be tribled to have a safe, comfortable retirement Typical RUclips vologer, luring you in for subs, likes views Note, for every 1000 views he gets $20, for inaccurate information Google those countries for yourself, don't go by what any vologers like this guy is pedalling you😂
@@Gregory-Masovutch Point is well taken that these vloggers exaggerate. HOWEVER. If you do your research on Numbeo and elsewhere, as well as read many comments of ppl actually living in these places, it becomes evident that it IS quite possible to live for $1000/mo or thereabouts, or even less. The only catch being what one means by "live", and if you're bringing heavy Western expectations and "needs" baggage with you, then it will not work. But if you don't mind living a decent, modest, NORMAL life the way most ppl in the world live, then yeah, 1K is enough, and in many rural contexts a lot more than enough. If you've gotta have all the glitz, cars, snazzy condos, blah blah like typical spoiled American, then of course you'll have to double the prices or more.
With daily power outages of 6 hours plus, South Africa is rapidly going down the toilet - I wouldn't go there even for a visit. India is oppressively hot, there are nasty smells everywhere you go, and there are people constantly in your face trying to sell you stuff. Some people love India, but personally I wouldn't recommend it.
For Brits, St Lucia and Antigua cost nearly £1,000,000 just to buy a property and have money in the bank to never touch, then you have to have at least 2 grand a month in income. How is a retiree supposed to be retired if they have to have an income??? It is the same with Australia and New Zealand. Look up the actual retirement costs before deciding. Oh, and if it is a Muslim country like Malaysia or Indonesia, make sure you can cope with the Islamic laws.
Jamaica $924 USD per month. Na, na, na, na, na, na, not in Jamaica for retires. You want to live a comfortable life as close to what you are used to in the USA, Canada, England, or anyone one of those developed countries. You need to buy your house cash & then have a monthly cashflow of around USD$2,000-$2,500 Then you can live comfortable. You need to go see places & have/enjoy different experiences. A decent place to rent in 2024 will cost you around USD$500-$800 per month. Food can be as expensive as in North America sometimes especially after an hurricane has passed. If you have USD$3,000.00 or more per month you are living the life.
