i have read on some website that you can live in places like Belize for 500 us a month or under 1000 a month. then when i check the prices and cost of living on things there i get a whole other story.
could someone tell me what it costs to live there on a decent budget? I want to keep a budget of 1200 a month.

I think you could probably live in Belize for $500.00 a month, but you will be living in rough conditions though. From what I have seen, to live comfortably it would cost about $1200.00 a month.
Basically it depends on where you want to live too.
The islands, Ambergris costs alot more to live, Caye Caulker is the next most expensive and Corozal is the least expensive.
