Is the cost of living in Tela high?

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

"The cost of living in Tela is considered to be 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, and water is also quite low. Groceries in Tela are inexpensive, with local markets offering fresh produce, meat, and fish at 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 in Tela. Public transportation is widely available and is very cheap. Gasoline prices are lower than in many Western countries, making owning and operating a vehicle more affordable. Healthcare in Tela is also relatively inexpensive, especially when compared to costs in countries like the United States. However, it's important to note that while the cost of living is low, so are local wages, and the quality of services and goods may not be up to the standards expected in more developed countries," explained one expat living in Tela.
