seems to be the same complaint everyone has with the chilean banks.
Judging by the comments below the article, it's not changing so far:
At that price rural America offers better values.
$3000 in the Philippines, that's a maid, driver, cook, plus people who speak English and tons of money left over!
SE Asia get you more bang for the buck easily, and you won't feel like you're just waiting for your turn to die.
This one is hilarious, is it some astroturfing paid by US insurance companies?I hear Mongolia is cheaper.
"You will definitely miss bankrupting your family before dying!"Knew a few Brits that went expat. All came back. Reality will set in when these mid 50's "retirees" start getting old age medical issues. They will sorely miss American medical systems.
I'm not so sure about that, I.e it's on the high side , he said 2000 to 3000usd per month it varies. So 1.4 to 2.1 million pesos per month for a family is definitely not on the high side in my opinion, despite owning their farm outright, and the kid at a supposedly free school (school fees are not the only thing you pay for with a kid). Stuff adds up pretty quick month to month, vehicle costs, general household and farm costs etc etc, you definitely couldn't do it for any less than 2k in their situation.tiagoabner wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 10:05 amNot really sure why anyone would be surprised. Per the article, they own their farm outright. In my opinion, USD $3000 is on the high side for a couple and a single kid, specially when they own their small farm outright, the kids goes to a free school (also per the article) and they try to be self-sufficient.
The comments show that people abroad don't really understand Chile, and I laughed out hard when I saw the comment about not having healthcare. Yeah, Puerto Octay isn't a metropolis, but they're less then an hour away from Puerto Montt, where they can either get medical treatment or a flight to Santiago to treat whatever is beyond the local facilities.
Yeah it depends...if comparing to average Chilean it's more than the average salary for sure.41southchile wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 10:45 amI'm not so sure about that, I.e it's on the high side , he said 2000 to 3000usd per month it varies.

Well, that $1,000 U.S. per person in the household rule was originally intended to deal with department of immigration requirements.tiagoabner wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 10:56 amYeah, you're most likely right. Still, it's within the $1k per person that has been discussed over and over here at the forum. I'm actually more surprised with the comments to that article than with the figures presented there.
