Costa Rica vs Uruguay

Thank author of this post/commentUruguay

IVA 22%

Import Taxes (60% including IVA)

Food in Restaurants: Complete meal, significant portions of meat

Comfortable living.. no harassment or petty theft, flush toilet paper, bidets, hot water, choice of internet providers

Costa Rica

IVA 16%

Import Taxes (60% or more in many cases... though around 12% for computers)

Food in Restaurants: A base of white rice and beans with a little meat for garnish.

Uncomfortable living.. constant harassment on the street, petty theft everywhere (ie: taxis and stores that rip you off everyday), hot water as a luxury, no choice of internet services, and you have to save your used toilet paper because you can't flush it.

Now, I think if you read this site you would have found that it is full of people that have spent time here and expressed their opinions and experiences. This website should not be confused with "International Living" or others that seem obsessed with the Cheap.

To mean, cheap means not only inexpensive but also low quality, ie: an expats life in Costa Rica.

In Uruguay you can live moderately inexpensive in Uruguay if you are not obsessed with consumption and imports. I think that is where you will find the big different in cost of living between the USA and Uruguay.. in Uruguay you will be less of a consumer (and have more time to Enjoy life), also for fruits and veggies.

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. 3069678753
