Is the cost of living in Belize high?

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Belize, they wrote:

"That is such a leading answer. The QRP package requires that you bring 2000 us dollars into the country per month. For those not taking the QRP package, and taking up plain residency (takes a year to do) , there are people living on a lot less than 2000 US and living comfortably," said one expat in Belize City.
