The title is not meant to be click bait. We've done a lot of interviews now and apart from a couple Saudi interviews and one about the Rep. of Georgia, Nina pulls no punches when talking about what she likes about Santiago and what she doesn't. We really appreciate her authenticity. She has a lot of valuable content over at The Expater.

Why do you call her "expat"? I don't think she's banned from the UK, like our former exiles. She's a migrant from the UK working in Chile. That's how we call it in Spanish here. Not immigrant because she doesn't seem to stay for long in one country and it's not "PC" to call even proper immigrants that way it seems, so everyone is a migrant. I know you people use those terms (immigrants, migrants) in English, so why she's an "expat" (doesn't exist or at least it's not used in Chilean Spanish). Thanks in advance.

I am Chilean, I can say that the lady on the video is right. I was living On Santiago, and the best areas to live are providencia, las condes, vitacura, and they are the most expensives. I was living on Providencia (manuel mont street), there i was renting an apartment of 70 square meters, for my wife and me. we spend monthly 460000 CLP, on food our monthly spend was 200000 CLP, locomotion, well it depends on if you drive your own car or if you use public transport, but the last one is very cheap. finally i must say that now i am living on La Serena, a beautyful ciity on the coast, and here the quality of life is better, and the life cost is very much cheaper than Santiago (we have all the costs comfortably covered with only 800.000 CLP).

Here in Chile you could be on Fonasa (the public system) or in the private system (ISAPRE), The first one is very bad, it means wait for very long times to get medical attention, burocracy, and so on. ISAPRE could be more expensive (only a few more), but really it worths, is fast, the medical attention is better, is by far the best. you can find more info here: www.pacificprime.com/country/americas/chile-health-insurance-pacific-prime-international/

The average wage is $826 meaning a single average income earner will struggle to provide. There are now no cheap rental homes anymore and people in their late 30s sharing a home which is new.

All the major cities I’ve been to in Chile, with the exception of Antofagasta, were really great, and livable by the standards of most Europeans or Americans/Canadians. Valparaiso/Viña Del Mar, Santiago, and Valdivia were ones I really enjoyed. The north, mainly due to its aridity and isolation, is rather unwelcoming as far as livability, but is fun if you’re into surfing, desert activities, rock-hounding, and amateur astronomy. Arica was so strange but kind of fun; it’s a hybrid between a desert wasteland, and a surfing/fishing town. It was so hot and inhospitable up north 🥵

@jazepstein 2 года назад

Great insights, thanks Nina. I lived in Santiago for two years, 2012-2013. No kids back then, and I was working remotely (earning a full-time professional Australian salary), so I lived very comfortably! Having a local job no doubt would have been a different story. Been back in Sydney for many years, got two kids now. Nina is 100% right about (decent) healthcare and education being expensive in Chile, that's the main reason why I'd be reluctant to live there with kids. Here the cost of living is high, but the cost of those critical services is much lower. Also, yes, Santiago is safe, clean, and has good amenities by Latin American standards, but not by Aussie standards.

@christheswiss390 3 года назад

Moving to a country based on the low cost of living (like Nina confesses to having done with Chile) when you will be earning local wages is like marrying a person based on their shoe size: REALLY wrong. (Of course it's very different when you live off a pension paid in another currency.) The Cost of living is often fairly proportional to the incomes generated in a country, for many obvious reasons. When a currency is weak (like the Chilean Pesos is), it means all goods imported are very expensive. If this coincides with a weak manufacturing base, the reslut means an even higher percentage of goods must be imported, so even higher costs => even less personal savings. Plus, travelling abroad for them (and the destination country in her case will be often be England, which has a far stronger currency than Chile) will result in yet higher costs again! The decisive financial factor (as a locally salaried / locally monthly earning employee !) for choosing a country to emmigrate should ALWAYS be the annual savings potential, as this represents the complete income minus the complete spend, including all taxes. In fact, Nina talks about this as a major realization NOW: that they are not saving NEARLY enough in Chile. Had she chosen the destination country a bit more wisely (based upon the annual savings potential, NOT the cost of living) she wouldn't have this problem at all. This is all a bit surprising given that Nina has apparently lived in Brussels and therefore knows how earnings and cost of living can correlate. Case in point: Switzerland has one of the highest costs of living on the planet, but at the same time ALSO the among highest accumulated WEALTH (approx. 580'000 USD per capita!). So the costs of living don't matter so much when you make your money in the same country, since the high costs are generally coupled with the high salaries. It might look expensive from the OUTSIDE, but for a member of an "expensive" (yet highly prosperous) society, living there is actually NOT expensive and personal wealth accumulation can be huge. (Again, this can change for someone on a pension.) Still - thank you for the interesting video and good luck to her on her next journey. Why is she leaving Chile and where is she off to?

@ExpatsEverywhere 3 года назад

Thanks, Chris. We can't argue at all with you're rationale. We agree. Speaking to Nina off camera, her situation was a little more nuanced for the interview itself, but basically she and her husband enjoy South America and he had an work opportunity to take them there for a time and once they were at a point where they could reevaluate wether to stay longer or not. According to IG, she's the UK with a moved to Uruguay pending.

Unfortunately Chile is way too expensive, for what you get. Most chileans will agree. Compared to other countries. It is an awesome country. But economy has been stuck since 2013, due to structural reasons of lack of diversification of exports. And that has been noticiable in quality of life, protests, unrest. Labor market is not good, salaries neither. And many problems. So it is a challenge for next governments and citizens, hopefully things improve

@pacificH2O 2 года назад

This was somewhat helpful I guess. I really wish Nina had talked more about health care and related costs. For me it would be a primary reason for living abroad, i.e., cheaper health care. No discussion about living abroad is complete without a thorough discussion regarding the cost of health care and how to access it.

This is a very very very CITY centered description of Chile. Chile is about the country side and decidedly NOT Santiago! Why? Santiago is a big nasty city that is not very attractive and is hot in the summer and miserable and cold in the winter with terrible air to breath since it is in a large valley. For most Chileans and for people visiting Chile, Santiago is NOT Chile. If you have not been out of Santiago then you might as well stay in what ever city you are now in. Visit Pucon. Vina De Mar. Frutillar, Puerto Varas, Puerto Ocaty, Caburgua, Chiloe! Caratera Austral ..... Now that is Chile. Jim in Chile

Hello, if you are planning to move to our continent please observe the stability, culture, economics, climate and demographics of the country before leaving yours. Chile it's actually very stable in terms of economic growth but not stable in politics and social. I think in the main cities the quality of life it's almost the same that in Europe. I reccomend Santiago (Providencia) and Viña del Mar. In terms of green energy Chile has a lot of possibilities for implementation because we have a giant desert in the north and a lot of demand for solar panels for the private sector. The principal oil company it's investing in power grids to install in houses to prepare them for electromovility. There is a lot of possibilities but please save money and learn at least a little bit of the language before coming. You will be welcome.

It doesn’t seem as expensive as she’s making it even though you probably should have a profession or trade. Going as an urban farmer would be a pretty successful relatively affordable way to do well there and not have a problem you would make a similar amount regardless for instance because it’s accessible produce. Might have to give it a shot soon 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm a Chilean and German citizen. I do not agree that people are hired based on contacts only. There are few cases like that, but the majority who do not have those contacts are hired based on their competencies and experience. I agree that Chile is a very expensive country to live in, and salaries are not according to the living expenses. If Chilean people are organized and save money, they can have savings aside and pay their expenses and credit cards easily. It will depend on the discipline of people to save. The problem with money saving is that the majority of Chilean people are not taught since childhood to manage, save and invest money.

immigrant is usually someone poor look to fit into a country and are with a family. an expat is someone who is usally single and has a lot of money to spend and expect to be a middle class or upper class person in the country they are going to. sadly, most expats going to chile will get a cultute shock when they find out they are not in colombia. but they are safer in chile than in colombia. however, chile is like usa. if you goto USA on vavation would an american treat you like a GOD? let you in there house and feed you and trust you?? no they will not. however, you can go to peru and they people will trust you and feed you and will probably let u live in there home no questions ask. but i would honetly say that the xpat is nuts to eat there food and the peru family are nutz to let a stranger in the home. all around u will niot see that in chile. unless the chilean eat human and want gey you nice and fat than eat u when u goto sleep. lmao

I came across this today and interestingly, I am a Chilean expatriate living in Sydney (Down Under). The comparative income of a professional would be around a third of the same job here in Oz. If you live or are from a developed country, there is virtually no justification to live in any Latin American nation, so there must be certain circumstances that apply here. For me, and although from Chile, the cultural barriers are the deal breakers. The social segregation and overall confusion between reality and hopes made me feel very uncomfortable and frustrated when I went back for holidays after 18 years away in 2018. CHILEANS have been sold this idea that to be considered a developed nation you have to get some kind of certificate or title you get from some international entity and that they are pretty close to get this title. The reality is that it's unlikely that any of those nations will ever be developed, and this is greatly affected by their culture

I am from US and was in Chile about 4 months ago. I was in an area called Sante Elena which is out of city. Compared to US..first thing I noticed was grocery stores. I found a few that compared to a Kroger but if you mentioned Cosco or Sams Club….always excitement for wanting it. Surprised nothing similar exists. As for safety…never had any problems but I saw security and police with the big guns everywhere. Grocery, gas, mall… I was told they have highways for wealthier people and others for those who can’t pay the toll. This stems from car Jackings I guess. Anyone back that up or confirm? I did drive on the nice highway to Santiago but of course was paying it.

@Gerard-Red 8 месяцев назад

The reason why there are toll highways in some places in Chile is purely commercial. It is a way of getting done quick fast roads that are needed, without impacting fiscal budgets, and at the same time collect a profit from the users. The system works well for the ones who have the money to use them day after day, but if you are in a minimal salary then you are better off using public transport. Which, is is actually very good in Chile, and particularly good in Santiago. Ocasionally you hear about a car jack, and they are always big news in the TV channels. In my opinion, they are not a common ocurrence, in statistical terms, but the amount of publicity they get is overwelming and frankly annoying, as they make people live in constant fear of being assaulted in their car. Chances are you will never experience that in your entire life in Chile.

@PascualSmith 5 месяцев назад

@Gerard-Red 5 месяцев назад

@@PascualSmith Hay 6.000.000 de cars in Chile. The statistics show that the a car robery happens 10.300 times each year. If you do the maths, The chances that an especific car get robed in a year is 1 in 582. That means that if you happen to have a driving life of 65 year (from 16 to 81). Which is the life expectancy in Chile. The real chances of getting your car stolen in your life time is aproximately 1 in 9. But when, in a blue moon, that happens, the television news in Chile go crazy and spend the whole day talking about it, they do interviews, they show CCTV footage and every police have to say something, and the politicians too, so people live under the impression that is going to happen to them any minute. Honestly I things that sort of things needs to be tone down to the real dimension of the problem, instead of making a big issue out of it. In the US there are 283 millions cars. And about just over a million get stolen each year. That means that for the average american driver the chances of getting their car stolen in a life time is 1 in 4,35. So the posibilities of getting your car high jaked in Chile is in fact less than half as lower than in the US. So make your own conclusions. ¿Is the fact that cars get stolen in Chile something that we need to highlight as a defect of the Chilean society?

@AngelesBustamanteM 3 года назад

I can help here: Living in a 3 bedrooms apartment in Las Condes, which is most likely the size she needs, is at least $550.000 monthly in rent, plus "gastos comunes" (for the building community) in the range of $150.000 to $300.000.- But she mentioned private health care, so I think she would go for a more expensive life style, so let's rise that monthly rent to $800.000 a month. Plus private schools for at least 2 kids ($400.000 each, plus paying for their food, transport, uniforms, etc). She didn't mention having a cleaner (nana), so that's one expense they're not covering. The thing is, if you're renting, you must make at least 3 times the rent for landlords to accept you, more like 4 times. And 4 times is the amount necessary for a mortgage. Or in other words: you cannot own a property if the mortgage credit is more than 25% of your monthly income. So, rent * 3x = income to rent. Rent * 4x = you better be buying. My guess is they make more or less $4.000.000 a month. And that here makes you part of the higher middle class.

Unfortunately, Chile is a very closed culture. Chileans are very stand-offish and wary of foreigners. It's relatively difficult to cultivate friendships with the locals. Merchants are typically unfriendly, unhelpful, and curt. I'm married to an American who was born and raised in Chile and who speaks perfect Spanish. After living in Santiago on and off for several years, we finally said, basta!

Hi, are you Chilean? Where are you living now?

@GoodLifeInSpain 3 года назад

@@ExpatsEverywhere I am American born (and no, let's not start with the "we're American's too" argument). I'm married to a Chilean born naturalized American citizen. We both speak fluent Spanish and have a lot of family in Chile. We live in the US, but have a home in Santiago and spend roughly half the year in Chile every year.

@@GoodLifeInSpain Not sure we follow the “We’re American too” argument. No argument here. Thanks for letting us know. We thought maybe you’d be interested in doing an expat interview too. It’s all good. We appreciate your comments and input.

@@ExpatsEverywhere So, the "we're American's too" goes something like this; "Where are you from?" "I'm an American". "I'm an American too". "Oh? what part?" "Concepcón". "So, you're a Chilano?" "Yes, but we're American's too". "Yes, you're from South America, but you're Chilean". "No, I'm an American". "So, when you travel to other countries, do you use an American passport?" "No, I have a Chilean passport". "Do you tell people in Europe that you're an American?" "No, Chileano". "Because, almost everywhere you go, aside from Chile, when you say you're American, they make the assumption that you are from, The United States of America". Usually, by the time the conversation gets this far, tempers are starting to get heated up. They love to call people from the United States, "Norte Americanos"...and fail to take into consideration that north America has three countries. Needless to say, this irks the shit out of me! LOL. 🇺🇸

Expat means a white living outside of their own country. Any skin color, you're an immigrant, not an expat.

Check out our channel and you'll see that's not the case. We have a Thai girl living in South Korea. Another Thai girl living in Canada. A Filipina living in Singapore. An African-American living in Saudi. An African-American living in Singapore. We've just scheduled and interview with a Kenyan living in Doha.

@Anthony Jackson there's some truth to that for sure. They don't intend to be citizens because that might mean that they're moving with the long term in mind and therefor, they would be immigrants. It doesn't mean that expats don't want to assimilate to their new host country while there although/unfortunately many don't. Some do.

@Danny Archer You're right. We're trying to less than less. We're getting more and more of these kinds of comments as we grow and it's becoming increasingly less valuable to our time to respond to these. We try to respond to the positive stuff or the ones that make valid points like Anthony Jackson. - Josh

You talk a lot and do not say much, OF course depend on the type of living spaces but can you at least mention a $ figure... Can you collect your pensions, Social Security, Stocks... over there?
