Is the cost of living in Morocco high?

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Morocco, they wrote:

"The cost of living in Morocco varies depending on the city and lifestyle. Generally, basic necessities such as food, transportation, and housing are relatively inexpensive. Eating out at restaurants is also affordable, with a meal for two people costing around $15. Utilities such as electricity and water are also relatively inexpensive. However, luxury items such as cars and electronics can be more expensive than in other countries," said one expat in Morocco.

"I live very carefully, don't drink, don't smoke, so can't answer for anyone else. It depends on lifestyle. My favorites are enjoying the ocean, and a Moroccan mint tea. It also depends on what kind of neighborhood you choose," remarked one in Rabat.
