Will I save money living in Jamaica?

We asked expats if they save money living in Jamaica. They said...

"Living in Jamaica may provide cost savings compared to living in the United States. Depending on the area in Jamaica, rent and food costs can be drastically lower than in many parts of the United States. Jamaica's tropical climate means that energy costs for air conditioning and heating are not a major expense. Additionally, health care costs, automotive expenses and property taxes may be lower in Jamaica," commented one expat who made the move to Jamaica.
