I don't live and have never been in the Caribbean, I'm Californian, but your channel is now one of my favorites in RUclips! You make me want to visit Grenada. 😊
This is a great video! I get asked this and I feel that I can't ever give an accurate answer as a student and not an actual resident. I'll start pointing people to this video
Lovely lady,that makes a lot of sense for people to know what to expect,a lot of work goes into what you did, it's really not to bad because where in the world living in cheap today it is so expensive to live here in the US now especially since COVID,live Grenada I'm not a Grenadian but I live there for a short time and I hold it close to my heart, nice people nice country, land of spice and everything nice Grenada may God bless you hoping to visit soon by the grace of God
Thanks so much! I’m glad you had a pleasant experience living here and that you found the video helpful. I hope you’ll be able to visit again very soon.
I plan on finding a place to retire with a favorable exchange rate in about 5 to 7 years from now I won't be looking for anything fancy just something comfortable and safe. thank you for your channel
This is what I have been looking for am thinking of moving to Grenada and wanted and in depth knowledge of basic economics of the island…. We get too many vids on vacay sites to visit but not where to live safe neighborhoods, basic living necessities when moving to a new country , Thank you.
Yes if you’re using US it will be reasonable because of the conversion rate, especially if you’re continuing to receive your income in US while living here. But yes the figures stated are just the average based off of information provided by the persons who participated in the poll. Some persons have very low salaries (as stated by Kimmie) and it can be quite difficult for them. Even for those who work for considerably more than $800, certain things (especially grocery prices) can be disheartening. So it really depends on your income and preferences.
Rachel Carey hi, he charges 40.00 EC dollars or 16.00 US dollars for one to four people then it’s $10 EC (or US equivalent) for every additional person.
Hi Nezzle. I like what you're doing here. I hope you're fully exploring the tremendous opportunities you have to monetize what you offer here. I don't know if your other engagements can deter you but you can run ads to other countries to offer tourism related help and services. Welldone! I came here to find info cos I may come to Grenada soon for an extended stay.
Thank you 😊 I’m glad you’re enjoying my content. I can’t say I’m fully exploring options because my only income stream from these videos are from ad revenue on the videos while they are being viewed as well as occasional donations from viewers. But I’m happy to be able to help persons like you who are trying to decide whether they should visit or move to Grenada.
👋 I just find out about your channel. Great job. It really gives me some insight on Grenade. If you haven't done it yet please do one on Healthcare system and also the school system. I will continue to check your channel . Much appreciated 🙏
When looking at cost of living in a place, it's important to look at average salaries per month. The average Grenadian are so lowly paid. The cost of living keeps rising while salaries remain the same. A large section of the population still earn an average salary of $800xcd per month. Grenada is a perfect capitalist society. If you're considering moving to Grenada, you better be rich. That's what's happening anyway. The rich westerners are moving here, getting citizenship by investment, purchasing lands, forcing locals to the center of the island, hiring and exploiting locals, and underpaying them. Let's be real about the Grenadian reality. I don't understand how wages were left out of this survey. Is the assumption that someone considering moving to Grenada would not be seeking employment and that they're just moving to contribute to the current cycle of having Grenadians be second class citizens in Grenada? The truth needs to be put out there.
I was simply speaking based on the costs of living here. Someone making a smaller salary would obviously spend less while someone making more might spend more. The video was just to give an idea of what someone might spend if they live here. As I stated, it was based on a very small sample so it isn’t intended to be generalized to everyone.
Hi Nezzle, Good to know those things.But everything depends on your consumption and how many people living in the dwelling place for water and electricity. Can't wait for Friday🙂❤
You’re welcome 😊 I’m sure I was off in some areas as my sample size was very small but hopefully it can be a helpful guide for persons considering moving here.
Good work on the disclaimer...as you said, that IG poll would not have been representative of the population. Electricity will be based on house demographics, house size, etc help determine the value based on usage. Rental figures there are interesting (based on the sample size you used). Food can be pricey around the Caribbean not just Grenada...you know very well how it is here.
Yes for sure. A very small and non representative sample. It was just as a guide. I found food prices cheaper in Barbados but mainly because of bulk food stores like PriceSmart and then supermarkets like Cherish and Popular.
I’d like to have 2 mil before moving to Grenada. My goal is to help many people rebuild their tin roofs. If you’ve never been to Grenada you may not know of the crisis. Many people can not even afford to rebuild their broken and unsafe homes for their kids. That’s where I come in and help as much as I can.
I remember visiting Grenada during the Caribbean expo at Lansepine.I enjoyed myself a couple allowed me to stay by them I visited Cariouacou,one time.The largest island in the Grenadines.
I am going to spend 2-3 months there. This was helpful. I think my rent is going to be on the high side compared to locals rent. It is a newly built apartment. I would rather patronize the small business owner and not the hotel industry. I also watched your walking tour today but could not see where to leave comment. Thanks for the grocery store trip, I have questions after not being able to see prices. With we could talk.
Hi, that's great that you're planning to come for an extended stay on our beautiful island. It's also wonderful that you're choosing to support small business owners. I'm not sure why you did not see the option to comment under today's video. I've received several comments under it. That's fine though. I'm glad you were able to comment here. Feel free to email me any questions you have about prices and I'll do my best to answer if I can. You can send the email to nezzletalks@gmail.com
Wow! A great video! I just stumbled on ur video while trying to check on Hurricane Beryl effect on Carriacou Island. I hope it didn't affect Grenada? How much change is there in the cost of living from when U did the video 3 years ago? Thank U for the gud work. 👍🏾
Thank you! Yes it affected Grenada but more the northern parts of the island. Carriacou and Petite Martinique got the worst of it. I just did an update to this video actually so if you look at the most recent video on my channel you’ll be able to get an idea of what has changed over the years.
Hello Nezzle, this is one of your best upload. It is right on the money; now i know when i move to your beautiful country how to budget my money, the cost of living will not deter me from moving there, i will have to spend wisely. Again, great video.
Watching this, I realize that living in GRENADA is much more expensive than living in PUERTO RICO. I pay around $50 in electric bill monthly, water bill up to $35 monthly, a 50 pound gas tank $60 and it lasts up to 5 months, groceries $250 a month, gasoline expences around $150 a month.
Wow! Yes that’s definitely less. I mean it’s USD compared to XCD but you’re also working for USD so it’s like the same thing. So yes that’s a lot cheaper. And gas price just went up even more here. It’s tough!!
I was going to Move back to Grenada once I finished College but I Rather Just Live my Life and start my family in America. People still use Latrines in my Part of Grenada, My People Work Hard n Still very Poor. Our Leadership just Sell St.Georges n Don't care enough to Put up Street Lights or Pave Roads. I'll just get Visa's for the Fam n build my Businesses in America.
Well if that’s what you see as the best choice for you and your family then I wish you all the best with it. However I will state that very few people still use latrines in Grenada and people work hard and remain poor all over the world, including in America. We have street lights and while many roads need work, most of our roads are paved.
I live in Canada latrines or out house as it is called is still used. Though out houses are mainly used for camping. It's not uncommon to find a cottage with inside Plumbing but also have an out house as a back up.
@@acharles3374 Canada is also a Progressive 1st world country, Having Latrines or an In house bathroom is a option. I been in America for 16 years now and every time I'm back in Grenada, St Georges looks pretty but the other parishes looks exactly the same as when i left. Brooklyn has 1/2 the Grenada population n nobody want to go home n live just go home for carnival then come back. But I'm only passionate about these things because i do want to run for Prime Minister after i have made my Millions in America.
@@b.m.wjaybanks5183 I hope you refund the Grenadian tax payers for paying your way through school if that was the case. Grenada have come a long way and your choice is yours. However you can use your degree to just make yourself rich or you can use it to change your country and give back. When i was a kid the majority had pit latrines now its the minority. There are tens of thousands of American in rural southern and western states with pit latrines. I have family members who grew up with latrines now own business and live in huge houses. Its not always about working hard its but about working smart.
@@trevorrobinson221 Lol I went to college In New York with a Full Ride Basketball Scholarship, My country haven't done anything for me as far as my education bro. And i don't think your getting my point, America is not a 3rd world country, the folks in the south choose to have Latrines. I'm saying this to say that For the resources and kind of land we have, every parish in our country should have paved roads and street lights by now. But as far as giving back, I already own land and plan on building a resort on it, ill be able to give out a lot of jobs in the future.
Great video, very informative. Is medical aid and personal insurance available and the costing on that? How much does an average car cost to buy? Keep up the good work. I'm looking at moving to Grenada in about 12 to 24 months from South Africa. Might need to hire you as my personal tour guide :)
I'm glad the video was informative and helpful. We don't really have medical aid but there is insurance available through private companies and some workplaces provide a supplemented plan. It depends on the car that you're interested in purchasing and factors such as whether it's new, used, etc and the age, make and model of the car. All the best with your move!
Thanks for the info. Very informative. Regarding rent, landlords may charge you more if your are a returning national. A relative was paying $1700 plus for a two bed room apartment in St Andrews.
Wow! Yes that’s true. Locals tend to think that returning nationals have money and so, they charge them more. That’s a good point that I forgot to make. I was thinking more of the students.
If it's a fully equipped all inclusive the rent is roughly $1700. Air conditioning system along with fridge and other electrical items is expensive. The electric bill depends on what you use . Water is more than $80 a month. Internet is $150 a month.
Janis James we pay less than $80 for water with 3 people. But yes it will be more if it’s all inclusive and even more so if it includes air conditioning.
Thank you that really helped. I'm really thinking about moving to Grenada. How hard is it for a foreigner to buy a house/piece of property? Absolutely love your beautiful island.
Glad it was helpful. I don’t know the process but I know of several persons who have purchased and while the process is a bit time consuming, I don’t believe it to be hard, especially if you have the finances readily available. The real estate company you choose to use will give you all the information you need.
According to my research, foreigners ability to buy property in the Caribe varies by island, permit$$$, and bureacracy. Apparently Curacao is one of the easiest ones.
Hi,its a nice general breakdown of living expenses in Grenada, but the the price of imported items will be more expensive, I was amazed at how much you had to pay for the drone which was a gift from one of your subscribers. I think its absolutely disgusting....and this is happening all over the islands......super powers in play🙏✌
Yes the imported products are a lot!!! Especially if you’re bringing in something for your personal usage. I tried to give just a general overview here though.
Haven't been there in a while. Normally at Sandals Grenada but since Chinese Corona Virus haven't been. Hopefully that will change in the near future. Love your videos and the Island style living.
The average size based on the poll was 2-4 people but I didn’t ask about income. Somehow I didn’t think of that one. But guessing I’d say maybe between $1500 and $2500. I may be wrong though.
So excited to come accross this channel. I live in Wales, my dads family moved to UK in the 60s from Grenada, still have close family living there including one of my dads brothers. It’s been years since I busted but would love to soon, looking forward to browsing some of your videos❤️
Nezzle a visit is definitely on the cards. I want my kiddies to see where their heritage comes from. Wales is also a lovely country but not quite as beautiful as Grenada. It’s very wet and rainy here!!
@@morenahotsteppa aw lovely. Wales and Grenada, both such small places too. Such a small world. All the people I know from Grenada are all in the London area. Glad to know there are others in Wales❤️
Are the prices you stated for living expenses in USD dollars or grenada currency? I’m wondering if I can retire comfortably in grenada on $1,600 a month? And that is in USD! I enjoyed your video. 😊👍🏻👍🏻
The prices quoted here are in EC. It is possible to live comfortably on $1600 USD a month but it really depends on what your lifestyle is like. If you eat out a lot or purchase very high end things etc then it won’t be.
Thanks Nezzle, great video. As I mentioned to you once before I used to live and work on Grand Cayman. 5000 $U.S. a month easily to live well, and you get no Nezzle and Cashew!
That’s great! I’m happy the information is helpful. Cooking your own meals is definitely a good way to know and control what is in your food. I’m trying to do the same.
How are you doing Nezzle, The video was super cool I'm specialize in restaurants and cafes, especially in Middle Eastern cuisine. Would you encourage us to come to Grenada to open business?
Thank you 😊 it depends on the area you want to open in. Food places generally do well here but there are also many that don’t succeed. If your prices are good but competitive and your dishes are in demand then I’d say go for it.
There’s not really a main job. People need to function in a range of different areas for the country to succeed. Foreigners can live here but there’s a process involved in order to remain longer than the allotted time when you enter the island and a work permit is needed in order to work here.
John yes lots of mouths could be fed with it. I’m happy you enjoyed the video. Both Dominica and Grenada are beautiful so either way you’ll be happy. But of course the biased part of me hopes Grenada comes out the winner lol
@@Nezzle I'm Dominican by birth. My mother was from Grenville. I grew up in the U.S with my Grenadian relatives. We are leaning towards Grenada as I have relatives there.
Firstly allow me to say that Grenada sounds very nice in many ways. I am curious about interaction between the various islands. Do you share culture, food, compete in sport and that sort of thing. Thank you.
Yes, Grenada is a very lovely island. There are some competitions which happen among the islands in areas such as sports and there’s a lot of connectedness between the different Caribbean islands. The culture is also very similar but still varies a good bit from island to island.
I think it also depends on which part of Grenada you live.. Because some people that live and work in the countryside can sometimes save a XCD $200 per month from a salary of XCD $2,000.. as compared to someone living in town with the same salary who cannot even save XCD $10 due to the different in lifestyle for example.. some persons in town may prefer to send their child to private primary school unlike a parent in the countryside would send their child to public school. Another example is, people in the country may use public transport to go work or hitch a ride, whereas someone in town area who thinks they can afford a car would prefer to take a loan to buy a car.. So it all has to do with lifestyle..
Thanks for the video..whats a popular website that lists rents there, that I can look at?...and if I'm from the UK, am I able to stay 3 or 6 months visa free? (seems to be conflicting information about that)
I believe it is up to 6 months. There isn’t a particular website but some people list on real estate sites like century 21 and some list on a few Facebook pages.
Yes I neglected to include that. It somehow slipped me. On average (based off of my opinion which is probably biased) the average earnings fall somewhere between $1500 to $2500.
You’re welcome. That will depend on several factors such as the age, condition, brand etc of the car. You can get something for $5000 EC or even less but you’ll likely have to do a lot of work on it. For one in fairly decent condition, the lowest I’d say is about $12000.
I believe it is enough. For me it would be. But it depends on your lifestyle and what you usually purchase. $400 US would equate to $1068 EC for context.
Living in the UK for almost a year now studying yes u can get things like non dairy milk and cereal cheaper here most food items including eating out to restaurants and stuff is basically same when u do conversions daily transport is more expensive than Daily transport in Grenada etc
Yes some things are definitely cheaper. I suppose there's always a bit of give and take with these things. I try not to think of it in terms of conversions though and I look at it dollar for dollar considering the spending power of persons who live in that particular country. But I get what you mean, especially when you look at it from the perspective of a student who has to do the conversions.
Earle Hagley ooooh I’m sorry that happened. Thankfully at least you were able to find the Chanel again. I hope you’re able to get back your other contacts as well.
Hey Nezzle, sorry I have been out of touch with the comments due to the fact I have a lot going on at the moment. Love all your videos. I don’t live in the Caribbean and have no concept about cost especially for people that are unemployed or have smaller incomes. But it’s is quite reasonable for me, since I live in probably the most expensive state. Anyway, just reminding you of your patron page or ways we can support you to build your platform. If not, is there a way to contact you via email. I was excited to see that god blessed you with a drone. However your tax was something that didn’t quite make sense to me. Keep up the fantastic job and know that you can have anything you want because grace is with you always.
Hi, that’s alright. I know how busy life can have us. Some things can be quite expensive here and for us who are paid in EC, it can be a lot for many people. But of course there are others who fare quite well here. The duties were crazy on the drone. Right now we want to buy the new GoPro but we have to wait until someone is coming to Grenada because the duties will likely be similar. I’d like to do the Patreon page one day but I want to be able to provide added benefits for persons who support me there and for now, I know time won’t permit me to do so. There have been persons who have asked me about assisting financially though so I’ve pointed them to my PayPal which is PayPal.Me/nezzle22 I have quite a few email addresses. You can use the nezzletalks email which is nezzletalks@gmail.com or you can use shehnezi@gmail.com I look forward to chatting with you more. Thanks again for always supporting.
Those costs are dependent on the companies you choose to have your insurance with as well as whether you apply on your own or you get it through a company that you work for. Some persons easily pay as little as $50 (sometimes even less) monthly, while others pay well over $200. Education also varies based on whether you attend public or private school. Plus the costs of private schools also vary. Some are a few hundred a term while others go past $1000. For the public schools, students are usually required to pay small fees but they’re not as significant as at the private schools.
I’m not sure of the details regarding this but I know you can pay for extensions to stay at the immigration department. I believe they should be able to give you some more information there pertaining to the work permit as well. It’s a good question though. I’ll have to look into it further.
It's good to have an idea thank you how ever you. Missed the average of auto insurance for the category of people that drive Some how since 1970s I been hearing the population of grenada is one hundred and ten thousand. What was the last sensus? I guess that will be on island. If ever child that are of Grenadian penance are Grenadian then the population is not yet been counted. Thinking wide. I enjoyed your presentation bless you
Thank you. The last figures we have are about 110000 still but of course I’m sure some are not included in there. Yes, that was an oversight on my part regarding auto insurance. That really ranges based on the make, model and age of the vehicle as well as the driving history of the driver.
I don't live and have never been in the Caribbean, I'm Californian, but your channel is now one of my favorites in RUclips! You make me want to visit Grenada. 😊
Awww thank you!!! I really hope you visit! I’m happy you enjoy my content 😊
This is a great video! I get asked this and I feel that I can't ever give an accurate answer as a student and not an actual resident. I'll start pointing people to this video
Awesomeness! Yes I think it may be a bit different as a student for sure. Glad you found it helpful.

Sounds great! I think Grenada will suit you well if that’s the case
I wish I had this advice when I rented in Antigua and Jamaica. At those times RUclips vlogs were not so popular. Very informative.
Yes they’re getting a lot more popular now. At least you have the option now for any future renting/moving you may have to do.
This is what I have been looking for am thinking of moving to Grenada and wanted and in depth knowledge of basic economics of the island…. We get too many vids on vacay sites to visit but not where to live safe neighborhoods, basic living necessities when moving to a new country , Thank you.
Wonderful! You’re welcome! I’m actually currently working on an updated version of this one so keep an eye out for it.
When I convert the amounts to US $ they seem reasonable and very affordable.
Remember this is just an average. Because base salary on average start from $800 roughly. Cost of living is horrendous here
Yes if you’re using US it will be reasonable because of the conversion rate, especially if you’re continuing to receive your income in US while living here. But yes the figures stated are just the average based off of information provided by the persons who participated in the poll. Some persons have very low salaries (as stated by Kimmie) and it can be quite difficult for them.

Hi Nezzle,
Good to know those things.But everything depends on your consumption and how many people living in the dwelling place for water and electricity. Can't wait for Friday🙂❤
Yes of course and I indicated that in the video. It’s just a rough guide for persons who are curious.
Thank you for sharing! I appreciate your honesty in trying to give a fair perspective on living expenses in Grenada. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome 😊 I’m sure I was off in some areas as my sample size was very small but hopefully it can be a helpful guide for persons considering moving here.

Hello Nezzle, this is one of your best upload. It is right on the money; now i know when i move to your beautiful country how to budget my money, the cost of living will not deter me from moving there, i will have to spend wisely. Again, great video.
Wonderful! I think you will love it here. Grenada is a lovely place to live (minus the expensive nature of certain things).
Watching this, I realize that living in GRENADA is much more expensive than living in PUERTO RICO. I pay around $50 in electric bill monthly, water bill up to $35 monthly, a 50 pound gas tank $60 and it lasts up to 5 months, groceries $250 a month, gasoline expences around $150 a month.
Wow! Yes that’s definitely less. I mean it’s USD compared to XCD but you’re also working for USD so it’s like the same thing. So yes that’s a lot cheaper. And gas price just went up even more here. It’s tough!!
Thank you! You helped us because we’ve been trying to figure that out before we make a move!! Awesome
You’re most welcome! I’m happy it was helpful.
Very informative, hope to visit sometime in the near future.
Thank you 😊 I hope you’re able to.
I've watched some G'da videos before, but just found you. Very good. I'm from G'da but live in Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK.
Awesome, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great job thanks
You’re welcome
Very informative. Thanks 👍
You’re welcome 😊
I was going to Move back to Grenada once I finished College but I Rather Just Live my Life and start my family in America. People still use Latrines in my Part of Grenada, My People Work Hard n Still very Poor. Our Leadership just Sell St.Georges n Don't care enough to Put up Street Lights or Pave Roads. I'll just get Visa's for the Fam n build my Businesses in America.
Well if that’s what you see as the best choice for you and your family then I wish you all the best with it. However I will state that very few people still use latrines in Grenada and people work hard and remain poor all over the world, including in America. We have street lights and while many roads need work, most of our roads are paved.
I live in Canada latrines or out house as it is called is still used. Though out houses are mainly used for camping. It's not uncommon to find a cottage with inside Plumbing but also have an out house as a back up.
@@acharles3374 Canada is also a Progressive 1st world country, Having Latrines or an In house bathroom is a option. I been in America for 16 years now and every time I'm back in Grenada, St Georges looks pretty but the other parishes looks exactly the same as when i left. Brooklyn has 1/2 the Grenada population n nobody want to go home n live just go home for carnival then come back. But I'm only passionate about these things because i do want to run for Prime Minister after i have made my Millions in America.
@@b.m.wjaybanks5183 I hope you refund the Grenadian tax payers for paying your way through school if that was the case. Grenada have come a long way and your choice is yours. However you can use your degree to just make yourself rich or you can use it to change your country and give back. When i was a kid the majority had pit latrines now its the minority. There are tens of thousands of American in rural southern and western states with pit latrines. I have family members who grew up with latrines now own business and live in huge houses. Its not always about working hard its but about working smart.
@@trevorrobinson221 Lol I went to college In New York with a Full Ride Basketball Scholarship, My country haven't done anything for me as far as my education bro. And i don't think your getting my point, America is not a 3rd world country, the folks in the south choose to have Latrines. I'm saying this to say that For the resources and kind of land we have, every parish in our country should have paved roads and street lights by now. But as far as giving back, I already own land and plan on building a resort on it, ill be able to give out a lot of jobs in the future.
Great video, very informative. Is medical aid and personal insurance available and the costing on that? How much does an average car cost to buy? Keep up the good work. I'm looking at moving to Grenada in about 12 to 24 months from South Africa. Might need to hire you as my personal tour guide :)
I'm glad the video was informative and helpful. We don't really have medical aid but there is insurance available through private companies and some workplaces provide a supplemented plan. It depends on the car that you're interested in purchasing and factors such as whether it's new, used, etc and the age, make and model of the car. All the best with your move!
Awesome video good job nice vlogs as usual ❤❤
Thank you 😊
Thumbs up Nezzle
Thank you 😊
Thanks for the info. Very informative. Regarding rent, landlords may charge you more if your are a returning national. A relative was paying $1700 plus for a two bed room apartment in St Andrews.
Wow! Yes that’s true. Locals tend to think that returning nationals have money and so, they charge them more. That’s a good point that I forgot to make. I was thinking more of the students.
If it's a fully equipped all inclusive the rent is roughly $1700.
Air conditioning system along with fridge and other electrical items is expensive.
The electric bill depends on what you use .
Water is more than $80 a month.
Internet is $150 a month.
Janis James we pay less than $80 for water with 3 people. But yes it will be more if it’s all inclusive and even more so if it includes air conditioning.
@@janisjames1870 is this EC or USD?
hi listening from jamaica enjoy your day
Wonderful! Enjoy your day as well 😊
Thank you that really helped.
I'm really thinking about moving to Grenada. How hard is it for a foreigner to buy a house/piece of property?
Absolutely love your beautiful island.
Glad it was helpful. I don’t know the process but I know of several persons who have purchased and while the process is a bit time consuming, I don’t believe it to be hard, especially if you have the finances readily available. The real estate company you choose to use will give you all the information you need.
According to my research, foreigners ability to buy property in the Caribe varies by island, permit$$$, and bureacracy.
Apparently Curacao is one of the easiest ones.
Very informative. Thanks much
You’re most welcome
Am jealous of grenada bills am in the bahamas very expensive
Yes I can imagine! I don’t envy you at all.
An old friend of mine from my Cayman island days lives in Nassau. she and her husband own Clam Tram tours.
Very usual information. You make quality videos
Thank you very much
Hi,its a nice general breakdown of living expenses in Grenada, but the the price of imported items will be more expensive, I was amazed at how much you had to pay for the drone which was a gift from one of your subscribers. I think its absolutely disgusting....and this is happening all over the islands......super powers in play🙏✌
Yes the imported products are a lot!!! Especially if you’re bringing in something for your personal usage. I tried to give just a general overview here though.
This was informative. I'll be there soon
Glad to know that it was helpful. Have a great time when you come.
@@Nezzle thanks 😊 will do
Haven't been there in a while. Normally at Sandals Grenada but since Chinese Corona Virus haven't been. Hopefully that will change in the near future. Love your videos and the Island style living.
I hope you’ll be able to visit again soon and that you’ll have a wonderful time when you do
@@Nezzle Thank you so much.
@@DonC11669 you’re welcome
Nezzle, What’s the median monthly household income on the island.
Also the average size of the household. Have a great evening.
Maynard
The average size based on the poll was 2-4 people but I didn’t ask about income. Somehow I didn’t think of that one. But guessing I’d say maybe between $1500 and $2500. I may be wrong though.
Nezzle is this EC dollars?
seginald bryant yes EC dollars.
There are lower income earners at around 700-1500
Middle at 1500-4000
Upper class ≥4000
Good good luck with your new place
New place?
Beautiful Grenada my little island
Yes Grenada is truly beautiful!
So excited to come accross this channel. I live in Wales, my dads family moved to UK in the 60s from Grenada, still have close family living there including one of my dads brothers. It’s been years since I busted but would love to soon, looking forward to browsing some of your videos❤️
Wonderful! Welcome to the Nezzle Fam! I hope you enjoy my content. I hope you’re able to visit again soon. Wales is a place I’d love to visit one day.
Nezzle a visit is definitely on the cards. I want my kiddies to see where their heritage comes from. Wales is also a lovely country but not quite as beautiful as Grenada. It’s very wet and rainy here!!
Fionn Vance yes I agree. It will good for them to know a bit of where they come from.
Fion I live in Wales as well, and I'm from Grenada. What a small world!
@@morenahotsteppa aw lovely. Wales and Grenada, both such small places too. Such a small world. All the people I know from Grenada are all in the London area. Glad to know there are others in Wales❤️
Nice video it's been a long time
Thank you. Welcome back.
Are the prices you stated for living expenses in USD dollars or grenada currency? I’m wondering if I can retire comfortably in grenada on $1,600 a month? And that is in USD! I enjoyed your video. 😊👍🏻👍🏻
The prices quoted here are in EC. It is possible to live comfortably on $1600 USD a month but it really depends on what your lifestyle is like. If you eat out a lot or purchase very high end things etc then it won’t be.
Yea
This was Great thank you...
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks Nezzle, great video. As I mentioned to you once before I used to live and work on Grand Cayman. 5000 $U.S. a month easily to live well, and you get no Nezzle and Cashew!
Awww well that’s no good 🤪 $5000 US a month here will have you living like royalty lol (well depending on how you spend your monies).
Nice video 👍 love it fr Jamaica i
Glad you enjoyed it!
thank you so much..very helpful
Glad it helped!
What sites would you recommend for apartments searching in Grenada?
Facebook is a great tool for looking for apartments actually. I found a great place for a friend by just searching on there.
Very helpful because I come home on a regular but I love to cook for myself
That’s great! I’m happy the information is helpful. Cooking your own meals is definitely a good way to know and control what is in your food. I’m trying to do the same.
How are you doing Nezzle,
The video was super cool
I'm specialize in restaurants and cafes, especially in Middle Eastern cuisine. Would you encourage us to come to Grenada to open business?
Thank you 😊 it depends on the area you want to open in. Food places generally do well here but there are also many that don’t succeed. If your prices are good but competitive and your dishes are in demand then I’d say go for it.
@@Nezzle Many thanks for your quick response, can you please send to me your e-mail?
@@salehmusleh6863 email is nezzletalks@gmail.com but I’m not sure how much more help I can be to you.
@@Nezzle THANX AGAIN I'LL CONTACT U BY EMAIL SOON.
@@salehmusleh6863 okay sure no problem
do salaries next
That might be a bit difficult to do but it's a great suggestion. Thank you!
Very informative video. I have a quick question Nezzle what's the main job in Grenada? Can Foreigner finance apart or condo and pay the mortgage?
There’s not really a main job. People need to function in a range of different areas for the country to succeed. Foreigners can live here but there’s a process involved in order to remain longer than the allotted time when you enter the island and a work permit is needed in order to work here.
My August electric bill in Massachusetts was $576.00 U.S Dollars. Three people in the house.
Oh my!!! That’s very expensive! We have 3 people in my household and we never pay more than $200 XCD. That’s less than $100 USD.
@@Nezzle I had to take antacids when I saw the bill. My mother would have said, " You know how many children that money could have fed?"
By the way, enough about me. The video helped us well. We are already planning our retirement in either Grenada or Dominica. Good stuff.
John yes lots of mouths could be fed with it. I’m happy you enjoyed the video. Both Dominica and Grenada are beautiful so either way you’ll be happy. But of course the biased part of me hopes Grenada comes out the winner lol
@@Nezzle I'm Dominican by birth. My mother was from Grenville. I grew up in the U.S with my Grenadian relatives. We are leaning towards Grenada as I have relatives there.
What is the cost of Netflix on the island. Is it the American version?
It costs the same amount but we don’t get all the shows (which is unfair since we pay the same amount).
@@Nezzle I have the Canadian version and I pay around $20 for 5 people to watch.
rose main oh okay, I think I have the one for 2/3 users. I can’t remember. But I know I don’t get all the shows that you can get in the US.
Firstly allow me to say that Grenada sounds very nice in many ways. I am curious about interaction between the various islands. Do you share culture, food, compete in sport and that sort of thing. Thank you.
Yes, Grenada is a very lovely island. There are some competitions which happen among the islands in areas such as sports and there’s a lot of connectedness between the different Caribbean islands. The culture is also very similar but still varies a good bit from island to island.
@@Nezzle Nice!! Thank you so much. It sounds very nice.
I'm planning to visit soon ....
Awesome! I hope you have a great time!
I think it also depends on which part of Grenada you live.. Because some people that live and work in the countryside can sometimes save a XCD $200 per month from a salary of XCD $2,000.. as compared to someone living in town with the same salary who cannot even save XCD $10 due to the different in lifestyle for example.. some persons in town may prefer to send their child to private primary school unlike a parent in the countryside would send their child to public school. Another example is, people in the country may use public transport to go work or hitch a ride, whereas someone in town area who thinks they can afford a car would prefer to take a loan to buy a car.. So it all has to do with lifestyle..
Yes definitely lifestyle plays a huge part for sure!
@Dee Horsford I use to live Grenada.. but migrated
Thanks for the video..whats a popular website that lists rents there, that I can look at?...and if I'm from the UK, am I able to stay 3 or 6 months visa free? (seems to be conflicting information about that)
I believe it is up to 6 months. There isn’t a particular website but some people list on real estate sites like century 21 and some list on a few Facebook pages.
@@Nezzle thankyou.. don't use facebook..
It would be nice if you can give the average monthly income, that's the only way you can get the cost of living.
Yes I neglected to include that. It somehow slipped me. On average (based off of my opinion which is probably biased) the average earnings fall somewhere between $1500 to $2500.
Nice video
Thanks!
You are amazing
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video! Do you know what kind of price is the cheapest car to buy?
You’re welcome. That will depend on several factors such as the age, condition, brand etc of the car. You can get something for $5000 EC or even less but you’ll likely have to do a lot of work on it. For one in fairly decent condition, the lowest I’d say is about $12000.
My company offer me $400 US for grocery is it sufficient plz reply
I believe it is enough. For me it would be. But it depends on your lifestyle and what you usually purchase. $400 US would equate to $1068 EC for context.
@@Nezzle thanks
Living in the UK for almost a year now studying yes u can get things like non dairy milk and cereal cheaper here most food items including eating out to restaurants and stuff is basically same when u do conversions daily transport is more expensive than Daily transport in Grenada etc
Yes some things are definitely cheaper. I suppose there's always a bit of give and take with these things. I try not to think of it in terms of conversions though and I look at it dollar for dollar considering the spending power of persons who live in that particular country. But I get what you mean, especially when you look at it from the perspective of a student who has to do the conversions.
Very informative ☝🏾
Thank you 😊
I finally found you again
Yes it’s been awhile! Where have you been?
I bought a new phone and every thing went hair wire

Lost all my contacts
Earle Hagley ooooh I’m sorry that happened. Thankfully at least you were able to find the Chanel again. I hope you’re able to get back your other contacts as well.
I love Grenada
I’m glad to hear it
I I was born in Grenada
That’s great! Grenada is awesome!
Hey Nezzle, sorry I have been out of touch with the comments due to the fact I have a lot going on at the moment. Love all your videos. I don’t live in the Caribbean and have no concept about cost especially for people that are unemployed or have smaller incomes. But it’s is quite reasonable for me, since I live in probably the most expensive state. Anyway, just reminding you of your patron page or ways we can support you to build your platform. If not, is there a way to contact you via email. I was excited to see that god blessed you with a drone. However your tax was something that didn’t quite make sense to me. Keep up the fantastic job and know that you can have anything you want because grace is with you always.
Hi, that’s alright. I know how busy life can have us. Some things can be quite expensive here and for us who are paid in EC, it can be a lot for many people. But of course there are others who fare quite well here.
The duties were crazy on the drone. Right now we want to buy the new GoPro but we have to wait until someone is coming to Grenada because the duties will likely be similar.
I’d like to do the Patreon page one day but I want to be able to provide added benefits for persons who support me there and for now, I know time won’t permit me to do so. There have been persons who have asked me about assisting financially though so I’ve pointed them to my PayPal which is PayPal.Me/nezzle22
I have quite a few email addresses. You can use the nezzletalks email which is nezzletalks@gmail.com or you can use shehnezi@gmail.com
I look forward to chatting with you more. Thanks again for always supporting.
This is ec dollars
Yes it is
Great video how much is health insurance, education
Those costs are dependent on the companies you choose to have your insurance with as well as whether you apply on your own or you get it through a company that you work for. Some persons easily pay as little as $50 (sometimes even less) monthly, while others pay well over $200. Education also varies based on whether you attend public or private school. Plus the costs of private schools also vary. Some are a few hundred a term while others go past $1000. For the public schools, students are usually required to pay small fees but they’re not as significant as at the private schools.
If someone enters Grenada with free visa of 3 valid months. How can this person stay for more than that ? Or even get a work permit ?
I’m not sure of the details regarding this but I know you can pay for extensions to stay at the immigration department. I believe they should be able to give you some more information there pertaining to the work permit as well. It’s a good question though. I’ll have to look into it further.
@@Nezzle okay thanks beforehand. If you find something, be pleased to bring it here for us.
@@kerwensjoseph2828 sure, I will
Are those prices in EC or USD?
Prices are all stated in EC
Good morning I'm coming there in October can you tell me what the best place to look for a apartment looking to move there in 1 year
It really depends on the area you’ll like to live in, your budget, lifestyle, etc
Can you do a grand etang video
Yes I want to do a dedicated one up there. I have 2 videos where I vlog up there though.
Hi how are you doing I watch your shows l am Canadian and it’s very informative thank you
Hi I’m doing well. How are you? I’m glad you find them enjoyable. I have family in Canada.
Nezzle Thanks I live in Miami not Canada
POSITIVE TALK WITH WENDY oh I thought you did since you said you’re Canadian. But that’s cool too.
Nezzle Oh I’m sorry is Grenadian
POSITIVE TALK WITH WENDY oooooh! Okay now I understand what happened there. So you’re a Grenadian living in Miami.
HELLO NEZZLE, I LIKE THIS VIDEO. I WOULD LIKE TO STUDY ENGLISH IN GRENADA & WORK. GREETINGS TO YOUR FAMILY. MERRY CHRISTMAS.
You can look into your options of doing so. It’s not impossible.
It's good to have an idea thank you how ever you. Missed the average of auto insurance for the category of people that drive
Some how since 1970s I been hearing the population of grenada is one hundred and ten thousand. What was the last sensus? I guess that will be on island. If ever child that are of Grenadian penance are Grenadian then the population is not yet been counted. Thinking wide. I enjoyed your presentation bless you
Thank you. The last figures we have are about 110000 still but of course I’m sure some are not included in there. Yes, that was an oversight on my part regarding auto insurance. That really ranges based on the make, model and age of the vehicle as well as the driving history of the driver.
