Cost of living

Thank author of this post/commentThose websites which try to sell you things like to say that the ROU is a very cheap place to live... which isn't surprising.

In my view the ROU is sometimes cheap and sometimes expensive depending on where we are in the economic cycle. At the moment we seem to be in expensive mode.

When I first arrived here the peso was weak and the economy was still depressed after the 2002 melt-down. I was coming from the UK where assets were grossly overvalued and sterling was very strong. As a result things seemed absurdly cheap here. 6 years later the UK's economy and currency have collapsed and the ROU's has boomed mightily so compared to the UK, the ROU now looks expensive.

I live here because I love the large degree of personal freedom we have in the campo, the friendly-yet-reserved nature of the people, the lack of silly wars against everything, the lack of paranoia about imaginary terrorists, the clean air, the low population density and many other things which appeal to me. If the cost of living was a major consideration to me, I'd live elsewhere.

For the nonspellers: Urugauy and Monte Video is Montevideo (monte-vid-day-o), real estate agents are "Inmobiliaria", and of course Uruguay is not spelled Uraguay. 1516143942
