Belize vs USA - Cost of Living by MyBetterHalf

I've read articles stating the cost of living in Belize is essentially the same as living in the USA. For those who have taken the plunge and made the move, can you give the rest of us an idea of what it takes to live there. I'm not looking ...

I'd be perfectly comfortable with a hammock on the beach, and could even get by without all the conveniences we have here in the US, but I kind of rely on decent internet access so I'm a little concerned about that. I like to access entertainment ... Read More

I presume you're referring to popeye1's post? I agree, but you have to remember there's one of them in every crowd. I don't mind the negative comments about a geographical area because those weigh into my decisions, but they should be left at that ... Read More

Thank you for taking the time to respond Texblondi, you've been a great help. I've been bouncing around researching Belize, Ecuador, Lake Chapala, Mexico, and Panama, but I think I've taken Ecuador off the list and am narrowing it down to Belize ... Read More

Well, that brings up another question. If you ride it (or even drive a car) are duties still collected? Big Bear is just a bit north of me... Read More

Thanks, but sorry I didn't mean to make it sound like that. That's just what I have to work with. I won't have a pension, and only a $1,500/mo. VA benefit, so once I move there I don't plan on coming back. I want to leave the US for so many ... Read More
