I don't get how somebody who lived in Costa Rica for 8 years could look so untan in that thumbnail It makes you less credible because it shows that people that are that white never get out and are afraid of the sun it's ridiculous it's just the armchair Warriors syndrome

Comment from : @MS-bb3bj

With respect, 'Expats' is not the correct word It is emigrants 'Expats' is a white Anglo-Saxon supremacist concept
Comment from : @DiegoCardenas-h1f

The cost of living in Costa Rica is all over the place The people who often complain that Costa Rica is "so expensive" are living lifestyles that 95 of Ticos could not afford Like a lot of things in life it comes down to "wants" vs "needs"
Comment from : @barco581

I'm Costa Rican and I used to buy some cookies imported from Germany in Automercado, but not anymore, too expensive Nice video!!

Foreigners and expats? You are immigrants!!!
Comment from : @tiquillo1000

It depends on what time of the year you go You pay more in peak season and less in low
Comment from : @Philisophicallychallenged

I think the places mentioned in this video to rent is for the rich
Comment from : @joannetaylor8271

good video
Comment from : @Springz55

I think it depends on your needs and expectations I find it interesting that a couple of times you associated a higher cost with a higher quality of living Ain't necessarily so
Comment from : @zzchop22

You are beautiful brThanks for info and keep it up!

Kristin, 'Stillness is the Key' - Great video for anyone experiencing burnout from doing too much and saying 'yes' too often: youtube/IWL3kHOYkWQ
Comment from : @BaintonTV

Dang, it costs me less to live in Portugal in a 4-bedroom, 2-bath apartment than it does to live in the central highlands of Costa RicabrbrAnd when I finally buy a place instead of rent, it'll be even cheaperbrbr---brbrNot to mention that you can order from Amazon pretty easily here Amazon is in Spain, Germany, and the UK so you can order pretty much whatever you'd order from Amazon US And it will make it to you with little fuss
Comment from : @jetfowl

thanks for sharing Kristin! some things are comparable to Vancouver (if modest costs are counted for VC), except for the rentals though which are much more in BC Canada the cost of living in Vancouver is much higher overall of course and you get less for that often, let alone some business and studying expenses How much tax do people pay in Costa Rica with a Canadian passport?
Comment from : @LifeinGlow

Love all your videos! Happy happy 😊

We bought a lot and had a new home built for $50,000 Monthly utilities are $150

My Friends niece was murdered this week in Costa Rica American, had lived there for several years
Comment from : @Stev607aqr

For us locals, we can live a comfortable life with about 800 dollars, i live in an apartment with my college mate, we use uber to buy groceries, and we eat uber eats daily and we pay all of that with the college scholarship, so not only we do not pay anything for college, but the college is paying us for studying and we use only about 400 dollars for apartment and food, the other 400 dollars we save it or buy stupid things
Comment from :

Not sure if this helps, but I checked Costa Rica on Airbnb and found more than 300 listings for monthly stays that were less than $700 per month for 1-person renting the entire place (not shared housing), with at least 100 stays under $350/month That search doesn't show all the listings, so I narrowed the search to the Nicoya area and found 86 listings under $500/month brI think the biggest expense in CR is housing, and if you are renting monthly stays you can get much better deals than the $1,200 mentioned in the video Depends on the lifestyle and standards of each person I guess
Comment from : @ErikBlair

Your information nailed it! I was there July 2021 scouting for retirement and definitely the information you provide is accurate Great job! Thank you for your valuable input

Comment from : @Washitaw

Sounds like it’s expensive as you want to make it
Comment from : @MarkWhiteartist

Thanks for the video Kristen Your info is so valued ! Relatively the same COL as Toronto , Canada except for rent now days 2022 which has gone through the roof
Comment from : @alternativeharvey7

I'm starting to wonder how much Americans make if $2k just fir rent is considered cheap I never spent over €1k on rent and when I did, I thought it was crazy for a 2br apartment in Belgium
Comment from : @wimeatsworld

Great video, it seems like most of Costa Rica costs as much as some of the cheaper European countries So not a bargain but still can be affordable
Comment from : @WiseFriendships

Comment from : @bernyvargas3746

Costa Rica looks like a nice place to live That is good to know that there is a huge variety in costs for different places to stay in the country It sounds like it can get expensive if you're not careful! Awesome video!
Comment from : @scottman895

Hi Kristin I use battery powered lights and smaller lights from walmart, home depot, amazon instead of the ones supplied with the house or apartment to lower my electrical utility bill I also cut down on the use of the big A/C unit in house
