    I haven't checked for cost adjustments today, but a few years ago, I spent 3 months in Goa, India. I budgeted $1000/month, but was unable to spend more than $800. I rented a 2 bedroom condo in a gated community with a swimming pool and twice a week cleaning. All western standard, for about $400/month. I rented a motorcycle for $100/month. Then I ate every meal in restaurants. I didn't limit myself in anyway. Food was like .50 cents including drinks. Every other day I went to the barber to get a shave. Then I spent my days riding around the villages and jungles or working on the beach with my laptop. Absolute paradise and no money worries whatsoever.

    Learning to live and get by on almost nothing is one of the best experiences you can put yourself through. It teaches you to appreciate and be grateful for what you do have and it rids you of worries and stress of where the money is going to come from to maintain an extravagant lifestyle. It's not easy to be happy if your mind is worrying. Living extravagant doesn't bring peace and contentment or happiness especially if you must stress and worry about how you will maintain that lifestyle!

    @NewYorkCityGuy 3 роки тому +61

    Regarding your comments on Buenos Aires. Yes, it is an amazing place. I know because I live there part time. One major hassle, however, are the stringent currency controls imposed by the country. The city is expensive if you use your credit/debit card. There are two currency exchanges: the "Dólar Oficial" which as of today is 95.65ARS to 1USD. Then there is the black market dollar known as "Dólar Blue" which as of today is 174ARS to 1USD. If you sell your dollars on the black market, you can live quite well but this means that you must deal in cash for everything and then replenish your dollars by either leaving the country and returning or by having friends come visit. Then, there is the additional hassle of safely hiding your dollars in your apartment. For me, it's worth the hassle, but it is a consideration.

      Indeed.
      I often coach women who are in toxic, often abusive relationships. Andrew’s dad’s wise words: “go where you’re treated best” fit quite well in those situations, too.
      It can be very frustrating when a woman is in denial about how terrible her situation truly is. Many Americans are in a similar state of denial about their country. “Go where you’re treated best”, is advice my abuse survivors have never heard before. They have heard all of the standard counseling stuff.
      “Is this where you will be treated best? For the rest of your life?” makes them pick it up and turn it a bit to see a different angle.

    I'm from South Africa and currently live in Buenos Aires. We live very well (big 2 bedroom apartment, with a pool on the roof in one of the best streets in the city) for $620 (this is net, with all extra expenses added), so $1000 is very doable in BA.
    For reference, in March 2022, when we moved in, the rent was around $835. In March 2023, the rent will go up by 50%. And then the peso will continue devaluing, so we'll be at the 600-700 range again pretty soon.

      Be sure to take a lot of cash with you when going to Buenos Aires. Because of currency controls imposed by the Argentine government there is a bustling black market known as the "Dólar Blue." If you use your credit card, atm card, and the official cash exchange, Buenos Aires isn't all that cheap. If you sell your dollars on the black market and deal only in cash for your expenses, you can live quite well for little money. Example: todays exchange rate: the Dólar Oficial is 95.65ARS to 1USD; the Dólar Blue is 174.00ARS to 1USD.

First and foremost the city is an oasis of intellectualism. They love their heritage past, and so do I. One may eat a filing tapa and have a mug of beer for three euros, or buy for even less at the local market. He can catch two way bus tickets anywhere in Spain or even in France for twenty euros prior to C19. He can book all inclusive four day vacation packages to Pamplona for 150 euros. Valencia, Spain is even better, but not quasi-centrally located as Salamanca is for travel purposes, but I also highly recommend it.

      The situation in Georgia has changed a lot in 2022. After the start of the war between Russia and Ukraine, many Russian oppositionists went abroad, choosing those countries where they can live cheaply and legally. Georgia became the main destination for Russian emigration. Considering that Russia is a huge country of 140 million people, and only 3.7 million people lived in Georgia, real estate rental prices instantly skyrocketed. There is simply not enough housing in Georgia to accommodate tens and hundreds of thousands of people. Something similar happened in Poland after the arrival of Ukrainians who fled the war.

    I am currently in the little city of Luang Prabang, Laos and living on less than $1000 a month. I got here totally by accident in the world wide lockdown of last year. Although I am not trapped here, it is difficult to get a flight out of here at the moment, and I decided to stay here for the time being. The USA is not looking that attractive to me at all anymore. Food is cheap here, I got pretty lucky and got a very nice apartment for slightly less than $200 a month (covid prices). Luang Prabang is probably the most expensive city in Laos, and it's really a large town rather than a city, but it is one of the nicest cities that I have been to in Asia. There are some drawbacks to Laos, I would say healthcare is one of the major ones. Of all the cities that I have been to in Asia, Bangkok, Krabi, Phuket, Pattaya Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Georgetown, Kuala Lampur, Hanoi, Hoi An, Saigon, Da Nang, it may be the nicest little city, it has charm. The people are extremely kind, gentle, and nice. Its not a bad place to live, but longterm, I like being near the ocean. Most of my experience here has been without the normal influx of tourists, it's an experience I will forever cherish.

It is so hard making friends here. They make great small talkers, wonderful strangers, great suburban neighbors who have to only say "Hi Bob" and go back in for 7 years until Bob does something horrible and the neighbors say "He seemed a nice guy. I never thought that he could do such a thing"

      It’s because Americans move so frequently. They don’t make strong community ties. This trend seems to have started post WWII and probably really escalated in the 1950s-60s with the rise of the aerospace industry. That drew a lot of people to the West Coast. And, we just became a very mobile culture.
      You may see a difference if you move to older parts of the country, i.e., the Midwest
      and the East. Larger cities still have ethnic neighborhoods that were settled by immigrants back in the day. People are more apt to know each other in those neighborhoods, though kids seem to be eager to flee at the earliest opportunities.
      We Americans, by and large, don’t have strong ethnic identities that would bind us to any particular location. We are a very heterogeneous group. In a country like Georgia, the population can strongly identify as Georgian and trace their roots back hundreds and hundreds of years. Though, even in Georgia, the outward migration numbers are very high. In fact, it’s the country’s biggest economic problem.

    I lived in Brest, Belarus for two years on 500Usd. My income was quite a bit more than that but I was building up a cash reserve. Plus, it's difficult to spend much more than that.
    I rented a 2 BR apartment overlooking the river walk and city garden. The second BR was an office, but it had a fold out couch for guests. It was 250USD and that included everything.
    I spent about 150USD on groceries, etc. and I had a relatively good diet with lots of meat. My residency cost 25USD per month. The other 75USD was for pocket money and that went pretty far. I lived about 3 blocks from a terminally cute 1 KM pedestrian walking street. There is a really cute alfresco cafe where a full meal is about 2.50 USD. Other places are more expensive but rarely over 5.00USD.Brest has a population of 340K so there is plenty of shopping and entertainment. Also, day trips to Minsk and Warsaw are inexpensive.
    Of course getting residency is not easy and you must speak Russian. That makes it difficult to impossible for most people. But if you can, on 1,000USD, you can live in a luxury apartment in a better part of town, rent a car or take taxis (better choice, I think) and dine in the best restaurants.
