Is the cost of living in El Sunzal high?

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

"The cost of living in El Sunzal is relatively low compared to many Western countries. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center is affordable, while outside the city center, it is even cheaper. The cost of utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, water, and garbage is also quite low. Groceries are inexpensive, with local markets offering fresh produce at very reasonable prices. Eating out at restaurants is also quite affordable, with a meal at an inexpensive restaurant costing very little. Transportation costs are also low, with affordable public transportation and relatively cheap gasoline prices. Healthcare is also reasonably priced, with both public and private healthcare options available. However, it's important to note that wages in El Salvador are also lower than in many Western countries, so while the cost of living may seem low to foreigners, it may not be as affordable for locals. Overall, El Sunzal, El Salvador offers a low cost of living, making it an attractive option for expats or retirees on a budget," wrote a person living in El Sunzal.
