[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5904745, member: 24302"] From the ones I've been to I'd have to say Argentina and Georgia. Maybe Albania. If you don't mind heat there's a very popular small city outside the huge Angkor Wat temple complex called Siem Reap in Cambodia. Decent apartments can be had for $200 a month there. They have over 900 restaurants listed on Trip Advisor with every kind of cuisine possible. Can eat expensive or get a decent meal for $2. But electricity will cost more than your rent and much of the year it's over 100° Fahrenheit. There are great places all over Latin America. Some with year round spring like weather. Overall the infrastructure is better in the developed world but many countries have pockets of prosperity where you can live well for much less. In Paraguay you can buy a house with land for less than $50k and use Starlink satellite internet if the fiber optic isn't in the area. I just know that I worked decades for a pension that has no cola and in the last two or so years have lost 20%+ of my purchasing power. That city Posadas I mentioned? The website Expatistan shows it as 84% cheaper than Orlando. It's safe, affordable, with a decent lifestyle. If one can live well in the U.S. in retirement that's great. I can't, bet I'd get by well in Posadas. [/QUOTE]
