Will I save money living in Belize?
We asked expats if they save money living in Belize. They said...
"Living in Belize can be financially advantageous compared to the United States, as the cost of living is lower. Goods and services, including basic food staples, entertainment, transportation and healthcare are all significantly less expensive than in the United States. Furthermore, utility bills such as electricity, water and Internet services tend to be lower. Additionally, Belize has a favorable tax system which offers many benefits for expats," remarked another expat in Belize.
"Exceeded! The stores have ground expotentially. You can get anything else easily shipped in. My dad is 97 and we ship in his favorite Cookies all the time," said a member in Corozal, Belize.
