    Didn't realise retired people could survive on no food.

              Every last one of those places is dangerous for an american retiree, including sur de france. And $500 on rent? Fuck that - you can get that in Florida, especially right now.

                    There are plenty of places in the world where people don't need much money to live, but you know the difference between those people and you? They're from there! It's never cheap for an expat all the time, no matter where they live or how they do things.

                        They missed "your girlfriends house". Some girlfriends even pay to have you stay there!

                              man that is a crap article, in the first place they are only talking about rent so paying 700 bucks a month for an apartment in Medellin is stupid. Medellin is a nice place but not 700 bucks a month nice, and it pays to know that its still cocaine capital number one in south america with occasional govt-farc fighting around the area which closes down roads etc.

                              Hey live in Nicaragua and we'll even throw in a government coup or 2;)

                                Languedoc-Roussillon, France is beautiful, $500 a month is probably just doable if you live in a village and eat local/seasonal with food from your veggie patch and the local wine out the barrel.

                                    That place is on HGTV, House Hunters International, quite a bit. People buying vacation homes there. I am amazed so many want to live full time in that climate. I could not handle the bugs, much less the heat.

                                      Yes, you can retire with $500/month in these countries if:

                                      1- You only need to eat instant noodles for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
                                      2- You love to live alone.
                                      3- You are impotent and/or have no desire to fuck local girls, boys or ladyboys.
                                      4- You don't need air conditioning in tropical countries (or heating in France).
                                      5- You moderately drink cheap local alcoholic beverages.

                                          Guys... you forgot the internet to watch porn. It cost some money too.
                                          What a guy may need ? Food to eat, water to drink and internet to have any sexual life.

                                            Actually there are people here who do live on very little a month, as you said they're used to it and live with their Mum or have to send their wife out to work.

                                              I actually read the article, and it's talking about $500 per month of rent, not in total. "Here are five places where you could rent for as little as $500 per month." You can get a lot for $500 per month in most of the developing world.

                                                    I remember when we used to go down to Mexico there was a group of retired peeps from the US living there. They made a trip back to the US once a month or so to get their checks, and otherwise just chilled on the beach.

                                                        I know of a single American man who lives in Chiang Mai on $200 a month, with half that going for rent. He gets around on a bicycle and eats at low-cost noodle stalls or for free when a temple offers lunch.
                                                        Yeah, that's my idea of a good retirement. Living in some roach and ant infested, 40 year old room with no air conditioning, and looking for handouts from the local Buddhists at the temple. Talk about living the high life!

                                                        $500 = 15,000 baht. I guess you could live in Thailand off that, but I wouldn't recommend it. Just our basic, monthly bills (rent, electric, internet, etc.) are about 11,000/month. We spend about 80,000/month ourselves, and our life is fine, but nothing glamorous. Then again, there is 8 of us living here.
