I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for., ,

I have lived in Thailand since 2006 and I absolutely love it. I live in Pattaya near the beach and my total monthly expenses are under $1000 USD. English is widely spoken here, crime is rare, and Healthcare is world-class.

As a world traveling connoisseur, i can tell you from experience, if you want to live cheap in any of these countries, you must go to the outer provinces and have a local guide. If they know you're a foreigner, you will pay over 4× what everyone else does.

As an American I lived in Costa Rica for 8 years. And you can easily go over $1, 000 a month. I did it for $480 a month. I lived in a small town and my house even had a pool, my rent was $120 a month.

My girlfriend in Indonesia had a house that she rented for $500 a year. Multiple gardens two bedrooms big living room and extra space for storage or crafts

I am from Peru and the prices you mention are very relative, it depends in which part of the country you live, which city, and which neighborhood. Prices can change a lot depending of that. Also the food and quality of life will vary.

Costa Rica has become the 6th most expensive country in the Americas. I have been here for the past two months and have found that most things are more expensive than the US with the exception of rent. Your prices on Peru are a bit more accurate but still there is no way possible to have a monthly grocery bill of only 50 US dollars. I was in Peru for nearly two months and found these numbers being closer to a weekly expense. You should have included the Philippines because there you can truly live a lavish lifestyle for the 1000 dollar a month budget.

I'm Canadian and have lived in eight countries for work (at least two years in each), including Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Malaysia and Vietnam (Hanoi and Danang). I would choose Vietnam to retire - weather, cost of living, security/safety, friendly people, great food, beaches, etc..

[lovingawareness]

I have to agree, that you were totally wrong about Costa Rica! I’ve spent a significant amount of time there and it’s one of most expensive countries in Latin America. I now live in Panama which you left out of this list and it’s a huge oversight…

I think a housing crash will happen because all those people who bought homes over asking price, although it was at a low interest rate, they are over their heads. They have no equity if the housing prices continue to go down, and if for whatever reason they cannot afford the house anymore and it goes into foreclosure because even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I think this will happen to a lot of people especially with the massive layoff predicted for the future and the cost of living rising at a high speed.

[stevendrumm]

I am an American who has lived in Costa Rica for 11 out of the last 15 years. It isn't that cheap. In fact, it is the second most expensive country in all of Latin America (after Panama) and overall it is only moderately less expensive than the US. In fact, I actually pay more for food, clothes, and electronics in CR than I do in the US. Costa Rica has many good qualities which is why I live here, but a low cost of living isn't one of them. Costa Rica should not be on this list at all, let alone at #2 or #3. Take it off the list and replace it with Colombia. There is a reason why Costa Rica is called "The Switzerland of Central America!".

[inspiretoaspire]

Costa Rica # 2 ??? Hey buddy Costa Rica is expensive

[daemeonation]

I lived in Indonesia for 10 years. My salary was $2000/month give or take. And man, I had a wild 10 years.

[scatme]

My kids will tell you that living here in AMERICA at the parent's house is cheaper than anywhere else in the world. No fees for rent, no electricity, no water, no internet, and the refrigerator is always full(filled and paid for by elves of course) why it's all FREE. What a Country.... what a life...

[trippmehew]

No way can find a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment in Costa Rica for $400. These prices are way off IMO

[bananapatch]

Costa Rica is expensive

Vietnam and Malaysia have challenging long term visas

[GipsyDean]

Right now Colombia should be on this list, it is cheaper than most of these and you can get a retirement visa with only about $800 a month income unlike most of threse places he listed.

[g.n.y.sister-girljudah]

[korymalone]

Costa Rica!?!? You gotta be kidding. Depending on where you are it costs as much or more there than in many places in the US.
