1200/mo is poverty in the US. I mean, that is just dirt poor

It really depends on what standard of living you want to enjoy. $1200 a month here wouldn't be enough for someone who is used to living on more than $10,000 a month while working. It would be fine for someone whose standard of living was around $2,500 in the US. Most successful people when they reach retirement own their own house, children are gone, no debts of consequence. So take what you earn now and remove all those debts, then translate the living cost to the country you want to live in. There's no way we could live on $1,200 here in Czech and we have no debts, own our house, car and no debts. One 10 year old to bring up and her and the dog have to steal food from dustbins. :1orglaugh |
you could live easily in California in most cities for 1200 a month, just have to not be wasteful and you could do fine, standard of living would be fine
unlimited cell phone 40 a month high speed internet 50 a month ok studio apartment 500 a month bicycle for transportation year round no snow, be healthier for it too cook your own food you can eat great on 10 a day, food is cheap and fresh if you are into junk food all the fast food places have dollar menus you could probably get fat on 10 a day eating out :2 cents: |

There are students coming here to live and work, just for the experience. They know they will go home and soon fit in with the other people doing the same, many teach English. They can and do live on $1,200 a month. 21,000 CZK. Rent is the biggest bill, then food, then heating, utilities etc. It's all fun and games and great when you're 18 to 25. Would I want to do it at 60? NO FUCKING WAY Because as people are saying, the moment you want something more than the bear essentials, you need money. I would still be working if all we had was $1,200 a month to live on. The upside of that is I would be here kissing ass. :1orglaugh |
I could live in the UK on 1200USD easily as a single guy so its possible imo.

looks like everyone that post forget the word GOOD before Living.

I love how some places advertise how cheap they are, but forget to mention quality. Equador advertises you can eat out for $8. A&W here regularly advertises a meal deal with coupon for 2 teen burgers, 2 fried and 2 drinks for $10...
They say a taxi ride costs about $2 (doubt it, gas ain't cheap anywhere, maybe $2 for a bike taxi but I doubt that too unless it's a very short ride) but buses here are $2.50 to anywhere in the city they advertise you can get a 60 min massage for $25. I can get untrained people here easily for $25 a hour to give me a massage, the min wage is $10/hour http://internationalliving.com/ maybe Canada is a third world country now.........na, our dollar is worth more than the American dollar. |
The amazing thing about this thread is the number of people who know how to live cheaply.

example gated community with amenities $525 a month http://www.forrent.com/apartment-com...le/1022411.php medicine is a tough one anywhere if you get sick with no insurance, but if you can treat yourself over the counter you can get most stuff for dirt cheap at walmart. if you need a doctor there are walk in clinics that will charge you $60 for a visit such a life would require discipline and not wasting money on things like $5 lattes and $30 haircuts, but the point is that it was entirely possible to live on that in California if you really wanted to :2 cents: |
