"The cost of living in Apaneca is relatively low compared to many Western countries. Housing is quite affordable, with rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center being significantly cheaper than in major cities in the United States or Europe. The cost of groceries is also relatively low, with local markets offering fresh produce at reasonable prices. Eating out at local restaurants is also quite affordable. Transportation costs are also low, with public transportation being very cheap. However, owning and maintaining a car can be more expensive due to the cost of petrol and maintenance. Healthcare in Apaneca is also affordable, especially when compared to countries like the United States. However, it's important to note that while the cost of living is low, so are local wages.

Overall, Apaneca, like much of El Salvador, offers a lower cost of living, making it an attractive option for expats or retirees on a budget. However, it's important to consider factors such as personal lifestyle, income, and spending habits when assessing the cost of living," said one expat in Apaneca.
