Affordable Cost of Living
Belize in general has a very affordable cost of living
which is particularly appreciated by visitors or those
who relocate from the United States, Canada or Europe.
One can live comfortably on less than US$1,500 per
month. Land, construction, food, utilities, property
taxes, insurance premiums and domestic labor are where
you will find the greatest and most dramatic savings.
Living in
Belize gives you the freedom to spend as little or much
as you wish. While many things are less expensive, North
American luxuries in Belize can add up, but Belize is
generally less expensive that an equivalent lifestyle in
the U.S., Canada or Europe.
Those
interested in simple living can budget about US$1,500 or
less per month. As a rule of thumb, labor and services
are inexpensive in Belize. A housekeeper may charge $15
to $20 per day. Trips to national parks and Mayan sites
are inexpensive. Belize's extensive park system,
wildlife reserves and sanctuaries will satisfy any
outdoor enthusiast. Additionally, Healthcare in Belize
is of good quality and inexpensive.
