Have you ever thought of moving to another country? Maybe when you retire? Or maybe you are just looking for a lower cost of living.
If so, you may want to check out the Numbeo website which shows the cost of living in detail for most countries around the world, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.
For example, you can look up the cost of going to a restaurant, the cost of a beer, or a bottle of water. Checking out Costa Rica, a three course meal for two costs $41.47, $2.49for a beer, and a bottle of water is $1.34.
You can also check out the cost of various types of food, transportation, sports, utilities, entertainment, childcare, clothing, rent, and salaries.
You can also see the quality of life, crime, health care, pollution, and more.
I have no connection to this site. I just came across it and thought it gives some cool information.
