What is the minimum monthly income needed to live a modest, but comfortable lifestyle in Panama? I have NO INTEREST in living in Panama City, I have lived in big cities all my life and am trying to escape them! I am a single female, eat mostly fruits and vegetables and a little poultry or fish, and am not into clubbing or partying (I'm a little too old for that)! I would probably be renting at first to see if I like the place, but so far Panama is on my short list.
