Uruguay: Uruguay Before and After you Moved There:

Hi, I just recently joined the forum because I wanted to learn more about foreigners. I am a Uruguayan Native that lived in the USA for about 12 years. I cambe back to Uruguay in 2011 and I have been here for nearly 6 years. From someone who is a native and has been outside of Uruguay I encourage you to not visit Uruguay. It's a really bad place if you are looking to come work in and live in. While the media promotes free healthcare and many other benefits, the actuality of it all is quite different. To give you an example my monthly rent for a half decent apartment in Canelones is 15000 Pesos which is roughly 560 USD. My monthly costs incuding Electricity, Water, Internet, Phone and food come to about another 400 USD. My monthly total is 960 USD without acounting minor expenses and going out to have fun. My monthly wager at a "Decent paying job here work Monday to Saturday 8 hours a day pays me roughly 600 USD a month. How do I do it? Well my wife and I both have to work our asses off to make ends meet. So I implore anyone looking to come here to think twice. Uruguay is a country made by tourists for tourists. Those of us who live here are stuck with having to live in poverty and not being able to afford things that are considered basic in other countries. Just to give you an example, a smartphone like an Iphone 5 still costs roughly 600 USD here even though it's been out for 2 years or more. I know this might offend some but I've seen this first hand and I am saving every single penny I can to be able to move elsewhere. Although I am finding it hard to find a 1st world country that will allow immigration without having a job proposal before hand.
