Hi everyone

My family and I are in talks stage of picking up and retiring in DR in the next few years.聽 I am wondering if anyone has a break down on what the monthly cost of living in the DR would be.聽 I know this is a very open ended question and there are a lot of factors that go into that number.聽 I am just wondering how far a single pension (CAD) will take us.聽 Thanks in advance.

Welcome! My husband (RockyM) and I retired to Las Terrenas last July. I'm happy to answer any questions you have about LT.

Are you planning to rent or purchase a home? That will be a big factor in your budget. If renting, your requirements/preferences will also make a big difference - do you want a home or an apartment? Do you want to be on the beach? In town? In the hills? Will you have a car here or will you rely on taxis/walking/pasolas to get around?
