Is the cost of living in Flores high?

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

"The cost of living in Flores is generally considered to be lower than in many Western countries. Housing is relatively affordable, with options ranging from budget-friendly apartments to more upscale homes. Utilities such as electricity, water, and internet are also reasonably priced. Groceries in Flores are quite inexpensive, especially if you buy local produce and goods. Eating out at local restaurants is also affordable, although dining at high-end restaurants can be more costly. Public transportation in Flores is very cheap, but if you choose to own a car, gasoline and maintenance costs can add up. Healthcare is also affordable, particularly in comparison to costs in the United States. However, it's important to note that while the cost of living is lower, wages in Guatemala are also significantly lower than in many Western countries. Therefore, the cost of living may still be high relative to local incomes," said one expat in Flores.
