Life In Ecuador
The cost of living is probably the number one reason people like to retire here than anywhere else. A one-bedroom flat will only cost you $430 or $340 in Quito and Cuenca respectively. A three-course meal at a nice restaurant will be $35 for two people. Retirees report that $1500 is enough to have a good life in this country. Cuenca is also a walkable city with an efficient public transportation system so there is no need to get a car. The country has a government-run healthcare system that only costs $70 a month. Private health insurance is also an option and should cost two people $250. Prescriptions are affordable as well. Generic blood pressure medication will only set you back by $10 for a month’s supply.
