    If that were true in Panama, then you would not be granted a Pensionado visa by the government simply by proving you have a pension worth at least $1,200 per month. At the $1,200 per month level the Panamanian government is ACTIVELY trying to get people to move there. The Pensionado Visa program includes all kinds of incentives to move to Panama, including breaks on healthcare, power bill, etc... I have been going to Panama about 8 times a year for years now, have lots of friends there, and will probably move there in the next couple of years. Obviously, I won't be going there with only $1,200 per month, but the point is that your post is incorrect. .

            1200/mo is poverty in the US. I mean, that is just dirt poor

                You would get free health-care and possibly some benefits, but its very low.
                Assuming you have a place to live for free, heating, electricity, a car, fuel, and some money for food.

                It really depends on what standard of living you want to enjoy. $1200 a month here wouldn't be enough for someone who is used to living on more than $10,000 a month while working.

                It would be fine for someone whose standard of living was around $2,500 in the US.

                Most successful people when they reach retirement own their own house, children are gone, no debts of consequence. So take what you earn now and remove all those debts, then translate the living cost to the country you want to live in.

                There's no way we could live on $1,200 here in Czech and we have no debts, own our house, car and no debts. One 10 year old to bring up and her and the dog have to steal food from dustbins.

                    you could live easily in California in most cities for 1200 a month, just have to not be wasteful and you could do fine, standard of living would be fine

                    unlimited cell phone 40 a month
                    high speed internet 50 a month
                    ok studio apartment 500 a month
                    bicycle for transportation year round no snow, be healthier for it too
                    cook your own food you can eat great on 10 a day, food is cheap and fresh
                    if you are into junk food all the fast food places have dollar menus you could probably get fat on 10 a day eating out

                        Especially if you changed the USD into Euros or GBP
                        i'm sorry, but i'm 28 yrs old and can live with that money there (passive income...) without any problems..... probably my standards can go up if i will be 60 yrs old though ;-)

                        and btw. 1 eur = 1,27 $ today and it's getting lower

                                    Absolutely spot on.

                                    There are students coming here to live and work, just for the experience. They know they will go home and soon fit in with the other people doing the same, many teach English. They can and do live on $1,200 a month. 21,000 CZK.

                                    Rent is the biggest bill, then food, then heating, utilities etc. It's all fun and games and great when you're 18 to 25.

                                    Would I want to do it at 60?

                                    NO FUCKING WAY


                                    Because as people are saying, the moment you want something more than the bear essentials, you need money. I would still be working if all we had was $1,200 a month to live on.

                                    The upside of that is I would be here kissing ass.

                                                I love how some places advertise how cheap they are, but forget to mention quality. Equador advertises you can eat out for $8. A&W here regularly advertises a meal deal with coupon for 2 teen burgers, 2 fried and 2 drinks for $10...

                                                They say a taxi ride costs about $2 (doubt it, gas ain't cheap anywhere, maybe $2 for a bike taxi but I doubt that too unless it's a very short ride) but buses here are $2.50 to anywhere in the city

                                                they advertise you can get a 60 min massage for $25. I can get untrained people here easily for $25 a hour to give me a massage, the min wage is $10/hour

                                                maybe Canada is a third world country now.........na, our dollar is worth more than the American dollar.
