"The cost of living in Machala is considered to be relatively low compared to many other cities around the world. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center is quite 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 in Machala are reasonably priced, with local markets offering fresh produce at lower costs. Eating out at restaurants is also quite affordable, with a meal at an inexpensive restaurant costing significantly less than in many other countries. Public transportation in Machala is very cheap, making it an affordable option for daily commuting. However, owning and maintaining a car can be more expensive due to the cost of gasoline and car maintenance. Healthcare in Machala is also relatively affordable, especially when compared to countries like the United States. However, the quality of healthcare can vary, and private health insurance is recommended for more comprehensive coverage. Overall, the cost of living in Machala is quite low, making it an attractive option for those looking to live in a vibrant city on a budget," wrote a member who made the move to Machala, Ecuador.
