Is the cost of living in Nicaragua high?
We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Nicaragua, they wrote...
"Live like a Nica on $500 a month or buy your expansive colonial home and entertain lavishly. We find we can live on around $1500 a month but emergencies do happen and that does not include flights back home. The world is different now with many things being fairly expensive now like gas, flights overseas, rising food costs, etc. We do have concerns on the falling dollar," said another expat in Granada, Nicaragua.
"It depends. You can live the Nica life and spend about $1000 per month per couple. Take into consideration the cost of flying to the US in case of serious health issues. According to my observation life in a Small Town in the USA close to a major hospital makes more sense than living in Nicaragua," wrote a member who made the move to Nicaragua.
