Obviously First, since this is a financially Channel lets break down what this means financially for me to live in Dominican Republic.
Finance is tricky but simple, because is quatifiable
You have three parts to finances
But you should know that not every decision in life can be made with numbers
For example Warren Buffet lives Omaha but if he moved to another state or country he could save millions on taxes but still that price is to high because his from Omaha and that’s where he loves living
First: Expenses
Shelter: $167 per month for a two bedroom apartment but I could be paying $2000 a month if I wanted to live in the capital ( but this is my Hometown, and for the moment its what makes the most sense )
Utilities: Light, water, Gas, phone and internet: $100
Groceries: $200 (food can be cheaper but convenience is expensive)
Transportation: $300 a month on a SUV my moms car or $200 in car ( but I don’t have a car )
Total: $767
But if I’m being honest I have a had many expenses and I do go a lot so I would increase that to roughly 10001500 per month
Second: Income
The benefit of working online is that income stays the same no matter where live
So that’s good
Opportunity Cost (basically comparison )
Living in Puerto Rico cost me $1000 dollars and saved me roughly 23% on taxes
So that’s massive
If I made $1000 I would $40 in the Puerto Rico but here I pay $270, it’s a big difference
Summary: the numbers say this is a bad idea, but I like I told you guys before, not every decision can be made thinking of the numbers, or I would be living in Dubai or something strange like that.
But for the average remote working American, trying to find somewhere to save money, you can definitely do it here
Lifestyle
I’m a pretty boring guy, and I like a simple life
So my life here is a lot better than anywhere else honestly
Here are the factors that helped me decide to live here
First: My Family and My People
I was born here and everyone I know is from here
That’s massive, to be able to be around your family and friends
Because relationships matter a lot
And I also love my church here also
Second: Things to do
I do the same things here that I do anywhere else
In the little town I live their isnt much to do
But whenever I do go out, its about a 45 minute drive which isnt that bad
Third: Convenience
This is a island and it is a third world country so theirs is some getting use to
But for the most parts all the needs are covered and the wants can also be covered
Safety
In the US, its big and massive, and it almost feels like you’re in your own little bubble
But in a small town, everyone knows you and your family and everyone talks
The good people know you and also the not so nice people
