I have been a basic, jeans and t-shirt guy my whole life...The lack of materialism and simplistic lifestyle is SOOOOOOO appealing....I can't wait to visit and hopefully move there someday!! Thank you for the great info Laura!!

@Joseph Campellone.. I Share The Same Exact Sentiments Here Joe.. I Cant Wait Either. This Italian Boy Has Gotta Leave NY ASAP!! Need to Get My Passport Renewed 1st Though!!! :)
Thank you for your honest, researched information, and the way you presented the information. Continued success and happiness. From a USA Citizen visiting Belize soon.
Just a word of advice, from someone who visited, fell in love with, and bought property in Belize, all in a short amount of time. It's romantic, it's different, and it is tropical and warm. So easy to visit, and decide to "buy and move"...don't be in such a hurry. It is much more different than the US, than you ever expect. Getting things done, taxes, permits, employment status...nothing moves fast, nor like you are used to. It is only a "vacation" for a short time. And once you own property, the actual process of building, can be a whole new experience. Builders have little to no oversight. It doesn't happen like the US. There are very few, if any, inspections. I saw a tiny zip cord (household, small gauge, lightweight extension cord) used to power an outlet. I caught our builder using termite eaten plywood, (cutting the worst parts out, and patch working the roof with scraps. Our caretaker cottage was built with out a single 2x4, the were ripped in half, and the frame work, of a dwelling, was made with all 2X2. I'm not saying that this happens with all builders in Belize, but this was the #1 guy in Placencia, when we were building. It does indeed happen. Just a trip to the "grocery store" is eye opening. Some staples are ridiculously priced. Lack of staples is also a very common thing. And finding a Dr. or any type of medical emergency, will definitely be eyeopening. Just a few observations. I am not slamming Belize, I love it, but I and most everyone who has had my same experience, and there are lots of em, will tell you, by all means go to Belize, but rent (usually quite inexpensive) for at least 6 months to a year, or you really won't have any idea what you are getting into, no idea at all.
After getting attacked in Belize City where three American women were raped and murdered in the same weekend cured us of ever wanting to live there. A yoga instructor in Belmopan also was raped and murdered then thrown in the river for crocs to eat….go someplace else
“You lose interest or the desire to buy things”. I am Belizean and grew up in Los Angeles. Can’t tell you how much this resonates. I love being home and appreciating the things that truly matter. Thank you for sharing! Love the channel!
Living in LA currently and desperately looking to leave the US behind. Unfortunately, this video (and others) have shown me that I'm simply not wealthy enough. My savings would last me maybe a few months out there. Part of me says "screw it, just go for it, you'll figure it out once you get there" but...that's something a teenager would think. Not an adult that knows better. I think about it every day though.
@@thelastmanonearth2631 Try Portugal. Lots of videos online about it...it's a lot less expensive. I'm planning to visit soon and then later apply for a long-stay visa.
We knew a Danish couple who were round the world sailors...we asked how much it cost per year from them and they said whatever you have...meaning there is always a way to live more frugally or more expensively. We lived 6 mos in Antigua Guatemala in 1999 while our sailboat was stored on the Rio Dulce. We had a huge furnished bed sitting room, the former livingroom in a Colonial house , two meals a day for $200 USD....no extra fees. Our marina slip cost $125 a month. We spent another $100 on buses, backpacker hotels to visit the Lake, special meals out, coffees etc just walking around money. So for under $500 a mo. we had a terrific lifestyle. Fast forward to 2020 we own a home in the Antigua area ...we spend what we earn ie. 2 SS checks one tiny University pension and interest income.... around $35 to 40,000 USD....or $3,000 or so a month. This includes property tax of $100 a yr, all utilities, 2 employees, food, some restaurant meals, 2 in country vacations of 4 days each boutique hotels, the best in the country and gourmet restaurant meals. I cook most of our at home meals using locally priced meats, seafood, and produce...we do eat some imported cheeses , dairy, because they have better flavor than local and we do buy some imported foods...volume wise it is mostly,local food but pricewise the imported foods take more of our budget...we just prefer fewer restaurant meals wiith lower quality ingredients than I use at home for an overall equal price cost to us. It also often includes one foreign trip to,Europe,or the USA a year. Now 73 and 78 we spend about $2,000 to 3,000 a yr on medical costs here mostly Rx whereas in 1999 we spent maybe $200. We both have non life threatening chronic conditions we monitor and medicate now...such is life. That day comes for us all. WE feel we get a luxurious lifestyle here that we could not afford in the USA esp the two employees who help me cook, do the food shopping, do all the cleaning, the gardening, the home maintenance, care for and exercise our dog, arrange dr. Appts, arrange deliveries, and drive us, I can still drive but usually dont as I am going shopping...my husband no longer drives due to vision problems. INDEED you spend what you have.
Wow, thank you for this wonderful write up on your life in Antigua. I plan to quit sailboat racing and sail around the world myself, but eventually it would be nice to settle somewhere and I have considered Antigua. Glad you're doing well and wish you good health with your good attitude.
I realize most expats dream of a beach home but we lived 2 blocks from the beach. We got wasted by hurricanes and we're done with that! I am interested in the San Ignacio area. Much cheaper than the islands.
Hello Shirley, Is hurricanes bad there? This maybe a crazy question because it is off the water. Just want to know where a nice part of Belize is that's fairly safe and not a fear of hurricanes or tsunami's, etc...
@@Malissa7 Hi Malissa! Yes most def hurricanes there too. In 2015 or 16 there was a hurricane that flooded San Ignacio riverside properties. There is a confluence of the rivers there. So I def don't want to be riverside either as charming and beautiful as it is! Best bet is to visit in rainy season so you see where roads may flood etc. We just plan to buy a modest existing house in Esperanza. Hoping it's still available by the time we can pull this off! Where do you live now? We're in Florida, newly crowned the most expensive state.

One if the absolute basics of any cost of living video is to list out your monthly budget line item by line item. However this video kept giving exceedingly vague statements like well it cost me 60% of what I would have paid in the US. That's of little use to the viewer. Start with your budget as the baseline then go into further diacussions about the lifestyle the budget supports in Belize and maybe discuss other areas in Belize where a similar lifestyle may be higher or lower.
*THANK YOU* This was so informative. We have been studying Belize for years, our biggest dream is to either find some career we can do from there, or start a small business, or at the very least retire from Canada. This video really gave me more of an idea of life there than any other Ive ran in to so far. Thanks again. :)
As always Laura, very concise and organized information. We continue to appreciate your videos. We’ve had to postpone our visit to Belize but we are hopeful that traveling to and from Belize will get easier later in 2021. Thanks again.

Very informative. Just want to mention the cost of electricity in Belize. I have been here for about 8 years. I am from Alberta Canada. Unlike my US friends, I find the cost of electricity here in Belize quite reasonable. In Alberta I pay about the same in Canadian dollars (and at this time $1CDN = $1.50 BZ) per month. I have all the same appliances here as I have in Alberta. So it actually costs me much less in Canadian standards for electricity in Belize.

I have been to the island Caye Caulker. My son and I went to the reef to snorkel and had lunch on the island. I loved it. I have always wanted to take my wife their or Ambergris Caye. My question is what do you do about hurricanes? Do they get more hurricanes up near Ambergris than they do down towards Hopkins?
Thanks for putting all this information together. I’m looking into buying vacation rentals, and grew up on Bonaire, so the Caribbean is definitely a special place for me. Belize sounds a lot more affordable to live in.

You failed to mention an expat is FORCED to pay 8% fee on top of the house you purchased. So you buy a 230k home in ambergris, you're forced to pay $18,400 just bc you're a foreigner. Correct me if I'm wrong. If this is right, there's a reason for next to zero property taxes...
And here I am due to Google suggestion after just watching a day-old video discussing how insane the prices have gone up. Basically, they are pegged to the US Dollar, so inflation has ravaged. But, you can still sacrifice your lifestyle to make it work. Gardening was highly suggested
Epic information! We would love the island, but Cayo seems more likely. We dont buy stuff anymore, we're just done. But wonder if like bellbottoms or jeans with movie patches would be under the thungs you mentioned. We dint do designer junk, just vans, chucks and platform boots. Only electrics I would wonder is our pcs, and my movie project / surround sound.

I have heard from many people who retired and lived in Belize. The have said, Belize is very costly compared to other countries to retire in. Also, you say that you pay 60 percent of what you paid in the USA. Thats very general.
You can rent a really nice place in Placencia cheap home prices are up . Land outside the village on the beach can be had for us $100,000 on the beach. GOOGLE BMA real estate.
Know some who pay under a Hundred U S for electric. 25 to50 $ water internet 70 US, cable $50 , phone is open as to your requirements . Rents are between 350 and 500 $ US for a livable place. Lots outside the village of Placencia can be had for $100,000US. A nice place. Built to your spec another $100,000. For properties I suggest BMA REATORS. Boris andFRICK are great. They have a web site.
@@AprilBrand74 been here 4 years . If you don't need a lot to be content many small towns along the beaches. A few years from the beach and prices for land really fall. Suggest, spend a month in country, think you will be glad you did, people are very nice and friendly and friendly. Rum is some of the best , half the price in the states, healthcare 25% to nothing as they almost refuse to charge, doc came for a chocking insadent would only charge 50 Belize. I gave him 100 US. It is a different world.
We are senior citizens with $9k net income a month usd. Using an arbitrary 25% for cumulative housing costs, what is a reasonable home at your location for $2200 a month? Please say beach front or not, furnished or not, and features at this maximum price point. Details are essential. And contact person. Thank you!!!
Thanks for the great info, I would assume its still mostly relevant as developing countries are slower to change. Something I haven't really heard, other than find a real estate agent, is where to go to find rentals. I can find lots of ad sites and only a few legit sites but they typically have zero or a couple of flats listed. Is it really a get there, find a connection, and then doors open situation?
I liked your vid. I have been to several of those places. I was about to check out Belmopan and west when the scam demic hit. There are some things I liked about Caye Caulker, and Placensia, the beach bars, but "nice place to visit".
Great video giving perspective from local expat, thank you. I’m wondering if you have spent any time in other LA countries and if so, could do compare and contrast. I’m specifically looking at Panama and Mexico, as well as others. I like that you can work toward citizenship in Belize and they will allow dual citizenship, something Panama does not, but Mexico does, but Mexico has more taxes than Belize. So many things to consider when your looking for a place to retire to outside of the US where you can have a Caribbean beach vibe and work toward a second citizenship while lowering your cost of living.
I have lived in the Yucatan of MX....Isla Mujeres. I have lived in Guatemala, the Antigua area. I have lived in Belize but aboard my own 45ft sailboat....Ambergris, Caye Caulker, Belize City, and Placencia...I have been to the hellhole that is Dangriga. All these places are less materialistic than the USA. All these places it is stupid to,have anything high end period. Medical care in all three countries are WAY cheaper than the USA. Imported food is high cost, local food is cheap. Yes local labor is cheap. Imported appliances, tools, electronics are more expensive than in the USA. Electricity per kwh is higher. Yes propane is widely used. Belize property is more expensive along the coast as she says. In general Belize is higher. SOooo much is imported. Overall Belize beach living is higher than Isla Mujeres and higher than the Antigua area of Guatemala. The beaches in Guatemala Caribbean and Pacific are not comparable. Guatemala has a gorgeous lake Lake Atitlan that is a lovely water based option, MUCH cheaper than Belize or Mx. THERE are many villages around the lake with expats. No hurricanes to deal with and not the heat in summer. Punta Gorda is remote unless you have your own boat....way off the beaten path, not for anyone with a health problem. All depends on what you want....
The extent of my shopping is buying a new 6 pack of Fruit of the Loom every year or two. Looking real close to coming on down.. I am subscribed as of now.

Excellent information! I like your minimalist jewelry. I suspect it fits in well with the culture. As with most people, like me, their posture is not perfect. Your right shoulder is higher than your left shoulder. Could be an injury, simply posture during this video, or something more serious. Thought you might be interested in this observation. Hope the region is recovering from hurricane damage. As a boater, I find all coastel areas facinating. Take care!

so, basically if you own a dwelling in America plus the expenses(fixed+electric) are equal to the rent (there)= $650...then it cost the same to stay in the states ? , South Padre Island, Tx it's as far south as u ever need to go '
I found your videos to be very informative and honest, for this I appreciate your feed. I would love to be in contact with you about buying a property located very near prime ocean front with very quick access to the coral reef

I think u r awesome. I love your reviews. I would like to speak with ylu about Corozol. The ppl I spoke to have only pushed Ambergris caye on me so much. I understand it's the ritz, but I like the ability to get a property that gives me options to drive, and travel to Mexico frequently, and shop as if I were still in America along with getting more for mu money.

I like to go and live in Belize,,I been thinking about it,,,what about covid 19,,,when is the country opening up ? what questions do they ask you every month to renew your visa?
Hello 👋🏻 My name is Jaydeep and I am planning to visit Belize on 17 feb 2022 this year , how can I contact you if I want to discuss about things that I need to know to live in belize and I will take a boat from chetumal , just a side note I am a wheelchair user and it would be good to meet up , is there a way to contact you anyway ?
My wife is a nurse here in Texas. Would she be able to get a job as a nurse there? I'm a handyman. I do all kinds of construction. Would I be able to make a living there doing that
Construction is big in Belize. Always roads and houses being built. Hospitals and cares homes would be a good place for you wife to work, home care could be in really high demand as well.

It depends bro...if your looking for a fully furnished place to rent in it would be $500bze or more per month,on islands I know of apartments that charge weekly price of $175 or more,fully furnish housing would cost more on islands as well(start up price would be $600/700),to be honest the cost of living on the islands are a bit more than villages,towns and cities....if you're looking for a place where you'll buy your own furniture and so forth,you could find prices that range from 350bze or more,maybe even less...the size of the place you want also matters and will dictate the price of the place...the most i know a place is rented for is about 1200bze a month,and that's a fully furnished place with air conditioner and so forth...
If I keep a winter home in Belize, should I worry about vandalism? I'd probably want to airbnb or room for rent it during other parts of the year, if possible. Add to that, I can handle doing a fixer upper, so I'm thinking I might have to bring in my own basic tool sets to work on my own rehab. But I might be taxed on my own items as I bring them in?
Vandalism??no but it would be wise to just have someone you can trust to check up on things every once in a while,location matters,and if you are going to fix and then rent when you aren't there,that's actually a great idea,alot of foreigners actually do that,it helps alot in having renovation cost and much more.
The people on the Belize Expats group can be sooooooo rude. It almost stopped me from choosing Belize, but I know that once I get there I can distance myself from expats.

Thank you for that comment !
Thank you for your honest, researched information, and the way you presented the information.
Continued success and happiness.
From a USA Citizen visiting Belize soon.
Just a word of advice, from someone who visited, fell in love with, and bought property in Belize, all in a short amount of time.
It's romantic, it's different, and it is tropical and warm. So easy to visit, and decide to "buy and move"...don't be in such a hurry. It is much more different than the US, than you ever expect.
Getting things done, taxes, permits, employment status...nothing moves fast, nor like you are used to. It is only a "vacation" for a short time.
And once you own property, the actual process of building, can be a whole new experience. Builders have little to no oversight. It doesn't happen like the US. There are very few, if any, inspections. I saw a tiny zip cord (household, small gauge, lightweight extension cord) used to power an outlet. I caught our builder using termite eaten plywood, (cutting the worst parts out, and patch working the roof with scraps. Our caretaker cottage was built with out a single 2x4, the were ripped in half, and the frame work, of a dwelling, was made with all 2X2.
I'm not saying that this happens with all builders in Belize, but this was the #1 guy in Placencia, when we were building. It does indeed happen.
Just a trip to the "grocery store" is eye opening. Some staples are ridiculously priced. Lack of staples is also a very common thing. And finding a Dr. or any type of medical emergency, will definitely be eyeopening.
Just a few observations.
I am not slamming Belize, I love it, but I and most everyone who has had my same experience, and there are lots of em, will tell you, by all means go to Belize, but rent (usually quite inexpensive) for at least 6 months to a year, or you really won't have any idea what you are getting into, no idea at all.
This is great advice 👍 good to know before you buy so to speak. Thank you
I totally agree with this 100% , Rent first, be prepared mentally for huge lifestyle changes unless you're a millionaire
After getting attacked in Belize City where three American women were raped and murdered in the same weekend cured us of ever wanting to live there. A yoga instructor in Belmopan also was raped and murdered then thrown in the river for crocs to eat….go someplace else
great advice sir where would be the easiest place to fly into and rent a place don't need anything fancy just clean and secure
@@Bert19631 what really? I was all excited to go. but that's not apealing.
“You lose interest or the desire to buy things”. I am Belizean and grew up in Los Angeles. Can’t tell you how much this resonates. I love being home and appreciating the things that truly matter. Thank you for sharing! Love the channel!
Living in LA currently and desperately looking to leave the US behind. Unfortunately, this video (and others) have shown me that I'm simply not wealthy enough. My savings would last me maybe a few months out there. Part of me says "screw it, just go for it, you'll figure it out once you get there" but...that's something a teenager would think. Not an adult that knows better. I think about it every day though.
@@thelastmanonearth2631 Try Portugal. Lots of videos online about it...it's a lot less expensive. I'm planning to visit soon and then later apply for a long-stay visa.
@@larabraver really
We knew a Danish couple who were round the world sailors...we asked how much it cost per year from them and they said whatever you have...meaning there is always a way to live more frugally or more expensively.
We lived 6 mos in Antigua Guatemala in 1999 while our sailboat was stored on the Rio Dulce. We had a huge furnished bed sitting room, the former livingroom in a Colonial house , two meals a day for $200 USD....no extra fees. Our marina slip cost $125 a month. We spent another $100 on buses, backpacker hotels to visit the Lake, special meals out, coffees etc just walking around money. So for under $500 a mo. we had a terrific lifestyle.
Fast forward to 2020 we own a home in the Antigua area ...we spend what we earn ie. 2 SS checks one tiny University pension and interest income.... around $35 to 40,000 USD....or $3,000 or so a month. This includes property tax of $100 a yr, all utilities, 2 employees, food, some restaurant meals, 2 in country vacations of 4 days each boutique hotels, the best in the country and gourmet restaurant meals. I cook most of our at home meals using locally priced meats, seafood, and produce...we do eat some imported cheeses , dairy, because they have better flavor than local and we do buy some imported foods...volume wise it is mostly,local food but pricewise the imported foods take more of our budget...we just prefer fewer restaurant meals wiith lower quality ingredients than I use at home for an overall equal price cost to us. It also often includes one foreign trip to,Europe,or the USA a year. Now 73 and 78 we spend about $2,000 to 3,000 a yr on medical costs here mostly Rx whereas in 1999 we spent maybe $200. We both have non life threatening chronic conditions we monitor and medicate now...such is life. That day comes for us all. WE feel we get a luxurious lifestyle here that we could not afford in the USA esp the two employees who help me cook, do the food shopping, do all the cleaning, the gardening, the home maintenance, care for and exercise our dog, arrange dr. Appts, arrange deliveries, and drive us, I can still drive but usually dont as I am going shopping...my husband no longer drives due to vision problems.
INDEED you spend what you have.
Wow, thank you for this wonderful write up on your life in Antigua. I plan to quit sailboat racing and sail around the world myself, but eventually it would be nice to settle somewhere and I have considered Antigua. Glad you're doing well and wish you good health with your good attitude.
@@seandelaney1700 Thanks.
I realize most expats dream of a beach home but we lived 2 blocks from the beach. We got wasted by hurricanes and we're done with that! I am interested in the San Ignacio area. Much cheaper than the islands.
Hello Shirley, Is hurricanes bad there? This maybe a crazy question because it is off the water. Just want to know where a nice part of Belize is that's fairly safe and not a fear of hurricanes or tsunami's, etc...
@@Malissa7 Hi Malissa! Yes most def hurricanes there too. In 2015 or 16 there was a hurricane that flooded San Ignacio riverside properties. There is a confluence of the rivers there. So I def don't want to be riverside either as charming and beautiful as it is! Best bet is to visit in rainy season so you see where roads may flood etc. We just plan to buy a modest existing house in Esperanza. Hoping it's still available by the time we can pull this off! Where do you live now? We're in Florida, newly crowned the most expensive state.
It was 5 below zero when I put the tarp on the last load, Belize sounds amazing

One if the absolute basics of any cost of living video is to list out your monthly budget line item by line item. However this video kept giving exceedingly vague statements like well it cost me 60% of what I would have paid in the US. That's of little use to the viewer.
Start with your budget as the baseline then go into further diacussions about the lifestyle the budget supports in Belize and maybe discuss other areas in Belize where a similar lifestyle may be higher or lower.
agree!
*THANK YOU* This was so informative. We have been studying Belize for years, our biggest dream is to either find some career we can do from there, or start a small business, or at the very least retire from Canada. This video really gave me more of an idea of life there than any other Ive ran in to so far. Thanks again. :)
Anywhere will be better than Canadia!
Exploring the cost of living in Belize helps me plan. Great breakdown for anyone considering a move.
As always Laura, very concise and organized information. We continue to appreciate your videos. We’ve had to postpone our visit to Belize but we are hopeful that traveling to and from Belize will get easier later in 2021. Thanks again.

Very informative. Just want to mention the cost of electricity in Belize. I have been here for about 8 years. I am from Alberta Canada. Unlike my US friends, I find the cost of electricity here in Belize quite reasonable. In Alberta I pay about the same in Canadian dollars (and at this time $1CDN = $1.50 BZ) per month. I have all the same appliances here as I have in Alberta. So it actually costs me much less in Canadian standards for electricity in Belize.
Nice explanation, but how much do you pay monthly?
Why not use solar power ?
nice what kind of place do u live in and what's the cost per month in Canadian dollars. where are the best flights from Calgary?
If you havent done one already, Id be very interested in the different area's of Belize to move to and the pros/cons and costs of that area. :)

My question is what do you do about hurricanes? Do they get more hurricanes up near Ambergris than they do down towards Hopkins?

Thanks Laura for a great informational review of Belize!!
You failed to mention an expat is FORCED to pay 8% fee on top of the house you purchased. So you buy a 230k home in ambergris, you're forced to pay $18,400 just bc you're a foreigner. Correct me if I'm wrong. If this is right, there's a reason for next to zero property taxes...
And here I am due to Google suggestion after just watching a day-old video discussing how insane the prices have gone up. Basically, they are pegged to the US Dollar, so inflation has ravaged. But, you can still sacrifice your lifestyle to make it work. Gardening was highly suggested
excellent presentation Laura..great work..well done
Epic information! We would love the island, but Cayo seems more likely. We dont buy stuff anymore, we're just done. But wonder if like bellbottoms or jeans with movie patches would be under the thungs you mentioned. We dint do designer junk, just vans, chucks and platform boots. Only electrics I would wonder is our pcs, and my movie project / surround sound.
I subscribed and put notifications on, because you were very informative. I enjoyed watching your video. Thank you for sharing.
Well...I guess this is the Next place I visit...Thanks for the information!!

Thanks for watching, Brandon.
I have heard from many people who retired and lived in Belize. The have said, Belize is very costly compared to other countries to retire in. Also, you say that you pay 60 percent of what you paid in the USA. Thats very general.
You can rent a really nice place in Placencia cheap home prices are up . Land outside the village on the beach can be had for us $100,000 on the beach. GOOGLE BMA real estate.
@@Zgreasewood she said that place was expensive. How long have you lived there?
Know some who pay under a Hundred U S for electric. 25 to50 $ water internet 70 US, cable $50 , phone is open as to your requirements . Rents are between 350 and 500 $ US for a livable place. Lots outside the village of Placencia can be had for $100,000US. A nice place. Built to your spec another $100,000. For properties I suggest BMA REATORS. Boris andFRICK are great. They have a web site.
@@AprilBrand74 been here 4 years . If you don't need a lot to be content many small towns along the beaches. A few years from the beach and prices for land really fall. Suggest, spend a month in country, think you will be glad you did, people are very nice and friendly and friendly. Rum is some of the best , half the price in the states, healthcare 25% to nothing as they almost refuse to charge, doc came for a chocking insadent would only charge 50 Belize. I gave him 100 US. It is a different world.
@@Zgreasewood thank you for being so friendly and answering me.
We are senior citizens with $9k net income a month usd. Using an arbitrary 25% for cumulative housing costs, what is a reasonable home at your location for $2200 a month? Please say beach front or not, furnished or not, and features at this maximum price point. Details are essential. And contact person. Thank you!!!
That for sharing this video! It was very informative and helpful tips. ❤
Very helpful information with information to gain greater research about different areas. Thank you Laura.
Thanks for the great info, I would assume its still mostly relevant as developing countries are slower to change.
Something I haven't really heard, other than find a real estate agent, is where to go to find rentals. I can find lots of ad sites and only a few legit sites but they typically have zero or a couple of flats listed. Is it really a get there, find a connection, and then doors open situation?
Thanks Laura i love to visit you in Belize you really have done your homework could you be my tour guide in buying a property there?
Great video, very informative thanks.
I liked your vid. I have been to several of those places. I was about to check out Belmopan and west when the scam demic hit. There are some things I liked about Caye Caulker, and Placensia, the beach bars, but "nice place to visit".
Sounds wonderful! Thank you for sharing!
Great video giving perspective from local expat, thank you. I’m wondering if you have spent any time in other LA countries and if so, could do compare and contrast. I’m specifically looking at Panama and Mexico, as well as others. I like that you can work toward citizenship in Belize and they will allow dual citizenship, something Panama does not, but Mexico does, but Mexico has more taxes than Belize. So many things to consider when your looking for a place to retire to outside of the US where you can have a Caribbean beach vibe and work toward a second citizenship while lowering your cost of living.
I have lived in the Yucatan of MX....Isla Mujeres. I have lived in Guatemala, the Antigua area. I have lived in Belize but aboard my own 45ft sailboat....Ambergris, Caye Caulker, Belize City, and Placencia...I have been to the hellhole that is Dangriga. All these places are less materialistic than the USA. All these places it is stupid to,have anything high end period. Medical care in all three countries are WAY cheaper than the USA. Imported food is high cost, local food is cheap. Yes local labor is cheap. Imported appliances, tools, electronics are more expensive than in the USA. Electricity per kwh is higher. Yes propane is widely used. Belize property is more expensive along the coast as she says. In general Belize is higher. SOooo much is imported. Overall Belize beach living is higher than Isla Mujeres and higher than the Antigua area of Guatemala. The beaches in Guatemala Caribbean and Pacific are not comparable. Guatemala has a gorgeous lake Lake Atitlan that is a lovely water based option, MUCH cheaper than Belize or Mx. THERE are many villages around the lake with expats. No hurricanes to deal with and not the heat in summer. Punta Gorda is remote unless you have your own boat....way off the beaten path, not for anyone with a health problem. All depends on what you want....
@@latinaalma1947 Thank you for sharing your knowledge, there is much for us to think about.
Hi there! You mentioned Mennonite cabins available for sale - any idea how I could get more information? Thanks!
That is a nice looking door in the background. Where did you get it?
In Ohio now and looking towards Belize in the nest 5 years. Thank you for the video.
OMG SAME!!!
The extent of my shopping is buying a new 6 pack of Fruit of the Loom every year or two. Looking real close to coming on down.. I am subscribed as of now.
• Today I have something very important to tell you
• God is justice, He is just and does not rejoice in injustice, sin is injustice and God hates. We are all sinners and the destiny of sinners is hell.
• But, God with his immense love, gave his only begotten son Jesus Christ, to come into the world, to be like a human being, to suffer and die for humanity to forgive our sins.
• So that we can now have a second chance to be reconciled to God and be saved through Jesus Christ, who gave his life for us because he loves us.
• Jesus loves me, Jesus loves you, Jesus loves all mankind, that's why He died on that cross for us, He is risen and can save you from eternal damnation and provide you with eternal salvation. Jesus will return to seek the saved, the Church.
• We can confess our sins to Him, because He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all injustice.
• For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
• Jesus loves you, and Jesus wants to save you, you can be saved! Believe in Him and obey His word.
God bless you! 💓

Excellent information! I like your minimalist jewelry. I suspect it fits in well with the culture. As with most people, like me, their posture is not perfect. Your right shoulder is higher than your left shoulder. Could be an injury, simply posture during this video, or something more serious. Thought you might be interested in this observation.
Hope the region is recovering from hurricane damage. As a boater, I find all coastel areas facinating. Take care!
I stopped about half way through your video and decided to just go back to Thailand...
Well done, thanks for that. Very informative.
I'm ready to move from LA to Amerbergis Caye.❤💯

Now, on August 23, 2023, would one still be able to get a used golf cart for under $5k? Thank you.
Retirement visa option ? If you don’t have a pension but adequate bank balance can you get a retirement visa, or do you do a 90mdays stay , do boarder run then get a further i0 days ?
Thanks for this video. Very informative
These are great. I'm a visual learner, so a map would be helpful.
Great Job Laura! You have a wonderful life!

so, basically if you own a dwelling in America plus the expenses(fixed+electric) are equal to the rent (there)= $650...then it cost the same to stay in the states ? , South Padre Island, Tx it's as far south as u ever need to go '
I found your videos to be very informative and honest, for this I appreciate your feed. I would love to be in contact with you about buying a property located very near prime ocean front with very quick access to the coral reef
When you are giving the cost for renting, is that per night???
Great video! I don’t like beer, but I do love me some Belikin
That was absolutely informative and I really enjoyed every minute of it, thank you

How does it work if you are working there? Salaries seem too low for the cost of living
Well done. Very well presented.
Thank you Laura. A very nice explanation of most services found in Belize.
Hi good morning how are you doing dear I love Belize
No free 2 day Amazon Prime delivery?
No not in belize.
Ordering from Amazon through a service like Ezone typically takes about 2 weeks to get here. Postal mail not very reliable, and DHL or the like tend to be really pricey, but faster.

Hi what is the price to buy a condo or house around your area 2b2b? Moving ready for someone not with a lot of $
Be careful buying wine. Inspect the bottles and make sure it is not oxidized and brown!
I think u r awesome. I love your reviews. I would like to speak with ylu about Corozol. The ppl I spoke to have only pushed Ambergris caye on me so much. I understand it's the ritz, but I like the ability to get a property that gives me options to drive, and travel to Mexico frequently, and shop as if I were still in America along with getting more for mu money.
Love your hair.
Thank you. How much is a one bedroom apartment there?
To rent or to buy?
@@berrisgomez5290 Both.

300-600 a month depends where you live
I like to go and live in Belize,,I been thinking about it,,,what about covid 19,,,when is the country opening up ? what questions do they ask you every month to renew your visa?
Hi JOE AND VERA !
@@darenbolton6847 MY BROTHER
I was really looking at Belize. Love the beach living, but the costs seem very high. A lot of it looks third world to me.
Just watching your video
Interested.
Living in Belize does not ask you how much liquor bars etc. So you tell nothing you didn't mention how much money it cost live there
Great talk and info! Sign me up. : )
Hello 👋🏻 My name is Jaydeep and I am planning to visit Belize on 17 feb 2022 this year , how can I contact you if I want to discuss about things that I need to know to live in belize and I will take a boat from chetumal , just a side note I am a wheelchair user and it would be good to meet up , is there a way to contact you anyway ?
Thanks for sharing the Fb group information!😘
What is it
My wife is a nurse here in Texas. Would she be able to get a job as a nurse there? I'm a handyman. I do all kinds of construction. Would I be able to make a living there doing that
Construction is big in Belize. Always roads and houses being built. Hospitals and cares homes would be a good place for you wife to work, home care could be in really high demand as well.

What’s the cost of diving there?
I'm looking to move there from Cleveland. How does rent compare to Cleveland?
It depends bro...if your looking for a fully furnished place to rent in it would be $500bze or more per month,on islands I know of apartments that charge weekly price of $175 or more,fully furnish housing would cost more on islands as well(start up price would be $600/700),to be honest the cost of living on the islands are a bit more than villages,towns and cities....if you're looking for a place where you'll buy your own furniture and so forth,you could find prices that range from 350bze or more,maybe even less...the size of the place you want also matters and will dictate the price of the place...the most i know a place is rented for is about 1200bze a month,and that's a fully furnished place with air conditioner and so forth...
Great info. Thank you.
Did she just say buy a golf cart for less than $5000??
How much will cost to buy a viila ?
A villa in san pedro will cost around 17000 per week
If I keep a winter home in Belize, should I worry about vandalism? I'd probably want to airbnb or room for rent it during other parts of the year, if possible.
Add to that, I can handle doing a fixer upper, so I'm thinking I might have to bring in my own basic tool sets to work on my own rehab. But I might be taxed on my own items as I bring them in?
Vandalism??no but it would be wise to just have someone you can trust to check up on things every once in a while,location matters,and if you are going to fix and then rent when you aren't there,that's actually a great idea,alot of foreigners actually do that,it helps alot in having renovation cost and much more.
Any golf clubs in Belize ? And gyms ?
Only several golf clubs, but most of the larger towns have a gym or two.
Will visiting Belize
So how much per month in us 🇺🇸?
Thank you
The people on the Belize Expats group can be sooooooo rude. It almost stopped me from choosing Belize, but I know that once I get there I can distance myself from expats.
Whats the IL, are you from Illinois?

5 .13 - wow 100 per year ? Property taxes.
Most people pay a hundred dollars a year for a house or condo they buy??? At 5:00. Not possible.
