South Africa. LOL. “Dynamic urban lifestyle”. More LOL. Check out the crime rate since the end of apartheid. But then liberals don’t look at facts. Actually, it would be great if all the liberals in the States retired there, with no privilege of voting back home. Regardless, they’d be too immersed in the enjoyment of diversity.

It's important to acknowledge that South Africa, like any country, has its own set of challenges. While crime rates have been a concern, it's worth noting that the country has made significant progress since the end of apartheid, and there are many positive aspects to consider as well. And as far as the liberals are concerned, here's what I'd like to say to you liberals and voting privileges, it's important to remember that political affiliations and voting rights vary across different countries. People have different perspectives and beliefs, and it's essential to have open and respectful discussions about these matters.

Always take into account the political stability in some of these locations. Especially countries that have the potential to get embroiled with Russia/Putin.
His repeated use of the word "resident" means, I think, living like a local; not as a tourist. Eat like a local, live like a local, commute like a local.
@@jackbaldwin3649 Yes, did an exploratory visit of the whole country with guide and bro-inlaw from Singapore. Loved it enough to sign up for visa. Hung out in Penang for nearly a month while agent finished papers and I absolutely loved it. I hope to spend half the year there in Penang and the rest of the year in San Francisco. To me, Penang is a mini Oahu that is cheaper with way better food.
Yup because who tf would be learning people’s and countries’ languages when you (as in anyone not you specifically) can just get by with your native one which is also failing… And South Africa isn’t for everyone, especially not US people and there’s enough problems without people with a superiority complex trying to move in… but if people want to learn and adapt and be good, they’re welcome everywhere(:
Thanks for mentioning our country, the Philippines! Yes, a lot of people speak English here. That's why we are the call center capital of the world! Welcome to our country! Malaysia has a lot of English speakers too.
If constant eating outside and buy imported not local foods yeah its expensive just like others. Try buy local products enjoy the country and dont complaint. You choose Philippines so it is what it is if dont like the ph you easy leave ass out.
Too bad Argentina didn't make your list. Buenos Aires is a truly international city. I lived in Argentina for 10 years. And I just returned from a 4 month visit in Buenos Aires. And for 1500-2000 dollars a month you can live a very comfortable lifestyle.
@Altaf Hussain The people of Argentina have figured out how to handle their inflation problems. Their real estate market is still strong. And they have strong safety net for their citizens.
Born and raised in the Philippines. I've seen comments here of foreigners living here in the PH. "Lavish" is a relative term. What was mentioned in the video ("$400/$900 or more") were fairly realistic, especially if you live outside popular/urban areas. You may add at least 20-50% more to account for inflation. Welcome to the Philippines!
We are witnessing that many people are perceiving that the cost of living figures mentioned in the video are low. Yes, you are right. Let me clarify one thing, the cost of living data we provided is accurate and serves as an example. As we mentioned, you can indeed lead a modest life in the Philippines with $400 per month. However, to achieve this, you'll need to overlook the big cities in the Philippines, such as Manila and Cebu. Surviving in these cities with such a budget is not feasible. Instead, places like Iloilo, Dumaguete, Bacolod, and Angeles City are better options, where you can lead a modest life without compromising on quality. This term applies similarly to all the countries mentioned in the video. The term 'MODEST' we mentioned in the video means fulfilling essential needs. And 'MEDIUM-LEVEL LUXURY LIFE' implies satisfying one's necessities along with fulfilling personal interests and indulging in minor luxuries.
You can not live on the amounts you are claiming. You will get people in trouble if they don't do their own homework. Your dollar amounts are way off. It costs a lot more than that to live in those countries.
Thanks for the 'attempt' at what can be a very useful video if done with proper research. But, some of the mentioned countries DID NOT accept me as a tourist (for the large part)... wonder if they will accept me as a resident at all (religious and skin color based reasons mainly)!!! Plus, the countries I visited (out of those listed) were definitely more expensive than claimed in this video... and it's been a while since I visited most of them.
I live in one of these places. Might be worth mentioning that inflation will make some of your numbers tight and many westerners exceed by far the amounts you specify because they cannot tone down expectations.
U have not mentioned how manybpersons can live with us $1500 per month on these 11 countries In India u can live lavishly with even less than 1500 us $ for a month for unit of four people.
The figures on living costs are grossly misleading. The stated amounts will not cover rent, utilities, food, clothing and healthcare, even at local levels in the metro areas. These countries may have relatively lower costs than first world countries but not in the range you identified. Finally, you need to define what costs are included and how many people are assumed to be sharing. Splitting expenses among multiple people makes the stated estimates more realistic.
What's your point? US and other developed countries have a lot of crimes these days, aside from being expensive and having failing economies. You must be living under a rock.
Yes, we do here in the Philippines and other countries. The Philippines is in fact the business process outsourcing capital of the world. Healthcare and education are great in certain areas. Must do your own research. You are welcome to our country like many foreigners who live here!
South Africa is far away from being a cheap country! Can't agree about that in this list. And about Georgia (just stayed there, family is georgian): Tblisi is a pure traffic chaos and about mosques: It is one of the oldest christian countries in the world with extremely old churches and monateries. But mosques??? Havent seen a single one!
Well done for pointing out that the airport to get away from Morocco is the most important place. It seems to me that ChatGPT writes terrible travel stories. Do any of your viewers really care about moutain climbing, water sports or beautiful mosques.?
Prices in Turkiye have gone up a lot over the last couple of years, so I think that amount should be at least doubled if not tripled…. Depending on the area. This is a great list, though!
My experience has been that if you have access to USect you from rising higher prices in local currency. I lived in Argentina 🇦🇷 for 10 years with their super inflation but the US dollars helps to keep up with inflation. Again, this is my personal opinion.
@Jack Baldwin this is so true 👍. I first went to Argentina in 2005. At that time it was 3.5 pesos to a dollar. I was returned from Argentina this April, and it was 488 pesos to a dollar. But because I had access to US dollars Buenos Aires never changed. And people of Argentina have figured out a way to deal with their inflation.
@@markrush2319 Is it safe enough to visit? Would you retire in Argentina? I've read conflicting things. We are retiring early and wondering where else we can live for a different and less expensive lifestyle.
@Jack Baldwin OK this is my experience Buenos Aires was one of the safest, clean, and interesting places I have ever lived in and I purchased a home in Mar Del Plata Argentina and this is where I plan on retiring one day.
How Romania's Rule of Law has collapsed, with the persecution of Andrew Tate, shows that Romania is either legally, and ethically, compromised, or is very willing to be compromised, in an emergency

I dont know what is your definition of lavish lifestyle, but i doubt $1500 get you much in the bigger cities. I was eating in pretty average restaurants (just above street food) and spent over $300 for 6 days in istanbul.
@@gentlebeestar3140 I wouldn't say it's lavish, but a meal in those touristy restaurants near the blue mosque is about $15 minimum. $5-8 is for street food kebabs or in those no frill "self service" eateries where the local eat.
@daddybear236 actually 5-8 dollars was in restaurants along Nispetiye and Taxsim Square. I actually don't remember seeing any street food vendors even at Grand Bazaar, maybe a stand along major metro stops. I was there only 8 days and 90% European side, so maybe that's the reason for such a vast difference in food prices with my visit. 😆
Have the people behind this video actually visited any of these countries? It's easy to scrape some info off the internet and throw together a list of supposed "affordable" countries, but you really need to visit in person and talk to locals about the true cost of living for these places. Are you really gonna get the kind of quality of life and lifestyle you want for $800 a month in these places? I seriously doubt it.
No offense, but Romania is a developed country as of 2023 and most people under 50 are English proficient. I know English-speaking business owners, none of them complained about a language barrier.
@@rogerpropes7129 nobody here uses cabs since uber / bolt are available and you can rate the driver, as for buses / trams they started purchasing new ones and delivering them (in Bucharest). It goes the same for the other big cities. Yes, things changed a bit since 2017. Still a long way to go tough.

But Montenegro GDP per capita is around $7,000
At the part talking about Georgia, there is a picture of Atlanta, Georgia, USA 😮 That takes Credibility away from that list 😂😂
I have been to most of the places listed but for me especially in this age, are simply way to hot and humid.
How old is this video?
Well done for pointing out that the airport to get away from Morocco is the most important place. It seems to me that ChatGPT writes terrible travel stories. Do any of your viewers really care about moutain climbing, water sports or beautiful mosques.?
Briggs??? the narrator sounds like the channel "World According to Briggs"
Turkey's economic system is in freefall.
The Turkish Lira has lost 96% of its value over the last 20 years, so keep that in mind
South Africa on 500/1000..Good luck..Perhaps in the bush lol
Sorry, Philippines that is ?
I spy Cincinnati "in Malaysia" @ 9:25
That's funny, South Africa went from white power, to black Power, to no power....
Have you lived in those countries? I can also make a list. This is so stupid
Just make more money and avoid the 3rd world
I stopped the video at South Africa. Way too dangerous. Goodbye.
Cape Town is not the capitol of South Africa…& if you like rolling blackouts & crime, it’s for you.
That’s right the word ‘live’ is in the title, but safety aka staying alive in said countries does not appear to be a factor being considered 😅
Prices in Turkiye have gone up a lot over the last couple of years, so I think that amount should be at least doubled if not tripled…. Depending on the area. This is a great list, though!
My experience has been that if you have access to USect you from rising higher prices in local currency. I lived in Argentina 🇦🇷 for 10 years with their super inflation but the US dollars helps to keep up with inflation. Again, this is my personal opinion.
Prices have gone up around the world but many places, if not most, are still less expensive than western countries.
@Jack Baldwin this is so true 👍. I first went to Argentina in 2005. At that time it was 3.5 pesos to a dollar. I was returned from Argentina this April, and it was 488 pesos to a dollar. But because I had access to US dollars Buenos Aires never changed. And people of Argentina have figured out a way to deal with their inflation.
@@markrush2319 Is it safe enough to visit? Would you retire in Argentina? I've read conflicting things. We are retiring early and wondering where else we can live for a different and less expensive lifestyle.
@Jack Baldwin OK this is my experience Buenos Aires was one of the safest, clean, and interesting places I have ever lived in and I purchased a home in Mar Del Plata Argentina and this is where I plan on retiring one day.
How Romania's Rule of Law has collapsed, with the persecution of Andrew Tate, shows that Romania is either legally, and ethically, compromised, or is very willing to be compromised, in an emergency
This video sounds like it is narrated by a robot and written with ChatGPT. In other words, robots made this video and it shows, and as such it is a complete waste of time. Sad.
I appreciate your feedback. However, I must clarify that the research for this video was conducted by Altaf. As for the voiceover, it was done by a person named Chris, whose profile you can find here: www.fiverr.com/provoicecm What aspects of the video did you not understand? Please let me know, and I will try my best to help you.
This WRDfiv channel managed by AAAI Group. Thanks!
ThT expenses are 2 years old. With Russian Ukraininan migration, prices are trippled all over Europe.
South Africa has No MORE WATER. DONT GO THERE.
Language isn't taken in to account for some of these. -- Vital for some if not many people ?
Albania ..is much more than $500 month ..thinking decent lifestyle for a single person would be $1100 -$1200 ..
I dont know what is your definition of lavish lifestyle, but i doubt $1500 get you much in the bigger cities. I was eating in pretty average restaurants (just above street food) and spent over $300 for 6 days in istanbul.
Wow. I had lavish meals for about 5 - 8 dollars in October 2021. It must have increased dramatically since then.
@@gentlebeestar3140 I wouldn't say it's lavish, but a meal in those touristy restaurants near the blue mosque is about $15 minimum. $5-8 is for street food kebabs or in those no frill "self service" eateries where the local eat.
@daddybear236 actually 5-8 dollars was in restaurants along Nispetiye and Taxsim Square. I actually don't remember seeing any street food vendors even at Grand Bazaar, maybe a stand along major metro stops. I was there only 8 days and 90% European side, so maybe that's the reason for such a vast difference in food prices with my visit. 😆
@@gentlebeestar3140 I paid about the same for restaurants along Istiklal. But you must have heard that last year alone, inflation was 80%
Not sure what yr this was done but $400 U.S. will NOT go far, as of 2023 you'll need at least $800 min. ! just saying :)
Completely inaccurate.
Have the people behind this video actually visited any of these countries? It's easy to scrape some info off the internet and throw together a list of supposed "affordable" countries, but you really need to visit in person and talk to locals about the true cost of living for these places. Are you really gonna get the kind of quality of life and lifestyle you want for $800 a month in these places? I seriously doubt it.
This video does not make sense
morocco? 😅
Uhm...do the budget include housing??? No matter how cheap it is in these countries, $800-1400/month can't get you a decent life.
Ppl will literally knife you over an argument 😂😢 seriously it should not be on the list.
Talking about Georgia, from experience and conversations w other foreigners visiting
👎 You miss the # 1 🇲🇽
What about safety?
@@altaf0 Some parts are really safe . . . then flip in an instant
Which flag is that❓
These are prices for living in poverty in bad areas.
Romania is an undeveloped country where no one will try to do business you unless you speak Romanian.
Currently where are you live?
you are soo wrong my friend
No offense, but Romania is a developed country as of 2023 and most people under 50 are English proficient. I know English-speaking business owners, none of them complained about a language barrier.
@@MariusRetegan Then they must have come a long way since 5 years ago; I still wouldn't trust their cab drivers or get on one of their buses.
@@rogerpropes7129 nobody here uses cabs since uber / bolt are available and you can rate the driver, as for buses / trams they started purchasing new ones and delivering them (in Bucharest). It goes the same for the other big cities. Yes, things changed a bit since 2017. Still a long way to go tough.
Cape Town IS NOT the capital of South Africa. If you can't get this simple fact right there's not much chance that you know what you're talking about.
Jberg 😂😂
Isn't south Africa falling apart?
Some of these countries are not safe at all to live in let alone visit.
South Africa and Morocco, yet no Latin American countries? LOL
BS Im In The Philippines 400 Can Just Give You A Roof Over Your Head TV & Water That's It 1200 More Like It SORRY TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE

Is it vlog supposed to be a joke?
South Africa??? Bwahaaaaaa..no.
