  • We had a great visit with Paul and Mary, two American Expats living in Novi Sad Serbia. We think most of our viewers will be impressed with their budget and the cost of living in Serbia.
    Mary & Paul are doing great work as volunteers, and making a positive impact in the lives of children.
    If you’d like to know more about their organization, or would like to volunteer or donate, here is their link:
    propelinitiative.org/
    Do you want to live abroad as an Expat? Are you looking for affordable and viable options? We are exploring the world to see what it's like to live in a country, and also discover if Residency is an option.
    We began our retirement in March of 2020 with the intent to travel the world, spending 1-3 months in a country or location. We want to see what it's like to live there and not simply visit, and we want to share these experiences and the costs with whoever wishes to follow along.
    If your looking for a place in Europe to live or retire Serbia may be an option, stay tuned and follow along.
    If you are new to AirBnB use this link to save up to register and you can save up to $65 on a qualifying stay, and we may get a $30 credit on our stays.

    Julie and I retired early not by luck but by planning.
    One of our spokes to our wheel for savings, and now an income stream
    is Fundrise. Basically we are invested in many apartment complexes around the country.
    We get a portion of the rents in the form of dividends, and growth in value with the appreciation
    of the properties. We currently have selected an income REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust)
    which historically pays between 7.5% - 9% annually in dividends. You can chose a balanced REIT which has a split between appreciation and dividends or a REIT where it's focused on appreciation and not dividends.
    Check it out to see if it's a fit for your savings, or retirement strategy. Feel free to share this with those you feel may benefit from this program.

    I'm having a surgery to remove a benign tumor from my parotid at a top-notch private hospital in Belgrade. It will cost me 2850 dollars with no insurance. This covers preparation, surgery by a professor, one night in the hospital, one further checkup, and tissue pathology.

      Even the kindest people can destroy the system. Ok, they are nice, you can't blame them for looking for good life, but, expats, particularly American, are destroying the life they come to enjoy. If more of them come there, it wold turn expensive even for them, imagine disaster for locals. Look what they've done to Ecuador so far. They turned Vilcabamba, which was a heaven on earth, into expensive fakehippieveganwesternerbullshit place, and spread it to Cuenca like a cancer on healthy body. Guys, if you are really nice, if you really like that sort of life, come as a tourist and go back, please!. Or at least, stay unnoticed in media, keep it for yourself.

Also we have dentist covered in insurance but we mostly avoid those that work in state ambulances if have money but people who dont they have that option.

      @@ventilatorbgd In a way it is that way, basically if you had a steady solid income nobody in the right mind would move to the western countries.
      But (big BUT) since big percent of well educated or hard working people can't find job with above average salary (since with average you can't live life without everyday stress or provide for family) it is nightmare for most of people.
      For example this couple live normal life with 1390 a month, even if you remove those 450 for rent you still need 900 euros per month to cover basic living, and people here earn on average 300-500 euros, so if you add one additional member to the family (kids) it gets tricky to cover all the cost, so you get why we have the worst birth rate in Europe and have 60,000 less people in Serbia every year (+thousands that leave country).

Mortgage on a home is relatively cheap though with low interest rates. Much better to put your money into stocks than pay off a property faster. Education being bad, very few Americans learn about Interest, compounding growth, and passive income generation, which is a key element to easy financial freedom in the US that really needs to be taught as early as possible.

      Many people what do that, they do not pay legal taxes for renting and if they are not Serbian citizens then they can not be legal owners of flat!!! Many normal, local young families, have no possibility to live in these flats for normal rent because greedy profiteers are always are always hungry on money. Hope that one day God and/or new local government will judge for that. It is not only in Serbia, but mainly in Barcelona, Prague, Venezia and many interesting places are occupied flats for short rent, not for normal life for what were builded a years ago.

My Serbian wife and I would like to spend half our retirement split between the Balkans(summers) and Sarasota FL(winters). I cought your video from Nov. 2019 from Kotor Montenegro, very interesting! Have you done any more videos from there about the cost of living, citizenship, visas, ect.? I would recommend Balkan expats to explore the chance of retiring there. Obviously the languages are a big berrier for Americans, but if you know any of the Slavic languages and with the cost of living in the US, it's a good option. One other thing I woul like to bring up to anyone attempting this, the cost of air travel between the Balkans and the USA. Chicago/Belgrade can run as much as $1,500 round trip during the summer. If you have to come home several times a year, this could be cost prohibitive.

    Lovely people, really glad they've chosen Serbia to live. They've apparently got used to all our daily annoyances (you've got them everywhere, one way or another) and enjoying their life here (actually seeing the wood, not only the trees). They're effectively becoming part of our community, culture - growing all together for the better...
    P.S. Maybe if you NGO expands its scope to ALL disadvantaged kids in your neighbourhood/area, not just Gypsies (Roma)... and if your Summer camp also aims to let them learn/improve English e.g. teach them how to be safe in the "new" world" (online and "outside") - but in basic English... Your experience from other environments/culture and as NESs, would be valuable for them as you could bring the points that they are not used to from their local perspective, thus helping them to better generalise their knowledge for later in their life/development...
