"The cost of living is high for Uruguayan wages; however you can live comfortably on foreign wages, specifically States wages. Housing is low, but material items are expensive, however cheaply made. Food costs are reasonable, especially buying raw items in bulk. Fruits and vegetables are fresh and seasonal and reasonably priced. Fresh baked goods at bakeries are always in season and very cost friendly," said another expat in Paysandu, Uruguay.

However, the cost of living in the capital city of Montevideo is higher than in the rest of the country. Rental prices for a nice 1 bedroom apartment in Uruguay range from $500 to $800 USD per month, while a nice 2 bedroom apartment can cost between $800 and $1,200 USD per month. Eating dinner at a moderately priced restaurant in Uruguay can cost around $15 USD per person," wrote a member who made the move to Uruguay.
