Dominican Republic Living - My Experience 

Thanks for watching!

People really put in the work to make the food incredible. Thanks for watching!

@@dankerchum my pleasure, I love that island!!

❤🇩🇴

Is rich in gold, oil ect...

That is about to get destroyed by the mew generation unfortunately unmotivated to acquire those old habits and culture.

Very true, but I did add a disclaimer that the initial figures are for “easy upscale living”. But can be done for much less, I agree. Any tips for SD living? Would be great to hear your thoughts.

@@dankerchum Position yourself in an area of value where everything is within a short walking distance. You want to have a couple gyms to choose from, maybe a co-working space nearby along with a couple grocery stores. Short walk to the bars/restaurants, ideally not to far from the highway for a quick exit from the city.

@@dankerchum I missed the disclaimer, sorry.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks, I'll be posting more videos like this soon!

🇩🇴❤

Keep in mind that the 15K per month figure is "easy upscale living without budgeting". For most people that's about 8-9K per month after taxes. 5K is definitely enough to live a great life though. Thanks for watching!

Whats the name of the Beach Resort at the beginning and end of the video? As non native english speaking i did not hear you mention the name of the resort. thanks

Thank you for sharing about the COL in the DR. I thought the prices he quoted were outrageous! $5000-$15, 000 K per month! It has to be cheaper than that to live well over there.

Thanks Henry!

Based on one’s lifestyle. It ran my wife and our 2 kids 8k monthly in Punta Cana. SBG alone is 1500-2k a month for a decent meal.

Thanks for sharing about the COL in The DR. It's good to know you can live well for less than $5K per month. How is it to get a residency there or d you just be in your tourist visa & do border runs every 6 months?

Thanks for watching!

Americans are fat. All we do is eat to death

punta cana

Both have different things to offer🇩🇴😃

Right? You can live it up with 3k easy.

Thanks for the comment! Depends on how frequently you are in the country, what the length of your stay is, and what ties you have to the country. In my case, I can’t use “visiting” because it would be misleading since I’ve spent more time in the DR than in any other country in the past 12 months, and I have more ties to the DR now than to the country I’m from (long-term apartment, banking, and spending the vast majority of the year in the country, and having a new social circle). Saying I’m “visiting” is misleading. If anything I’m not even living here “part-time”, I’m simply living here and “visiting the other countries”, but that isn’t quite accurate. But the point of using the part-time phrase is to stress the digital nomad trifecta approach which helps you spend a significant amount of time in three countries throughout the year. Thanks for watching!

Hey man, thanks for the comment. Keep in mind that the $15k/m income (I'm not suggesting that someone should spend all of it) that I listed there is the "easy upper-class living". The DR can be done on WAY less (that's why I provided several budget points: $2K/m is low-cost budget living and no luxury, $5K/m can be some luxury with proper budgeting, and $15K/m would bring you a worry-free upscale lifestyle that most high-income locals enjoy), but there's a big disconnect between the classes in the DR, so someone who's in a developing area might think that I'm providing ridiculous numbers. In reality, there are plenty of local, wealthy people in the DR and many places are reserved for people earning multiple 6-figures. In some of the comments, you can see that people are suggesting that I'm paying "tourist prices". I am not. I can tell you that they simply haven't been to these places because all of my local friends pay the same prices, and the prices can be much higher than in most American cities. But you can still live very comfortably as a single guy making 4, 5, 6k - it just wouldn't match the lifestyle of the local upper-class, but you'd still live much more comfortably than in the US. Anyone who thinks that a $100 or $200 for a dinner is ridiculous should go to Peperoni, Turo or another upscale restaurant and have a regular dinner for two and they will understand that there are plenty of upscale places in the DR, and the prices aren't $20 for a dinner as many people here suggest. Best of luck in your visit to the DR, make a plan and go for it. Just wanted to clarify why that budget section is the way it is - you do not *need* $15K/m. Foreigners are often under the impression that all of DR is poor because they go to areas that are still developing, but it's simply not true, there's a high concentration of capital, investments and wealth in many areas of the country. And if you go to Casa de Campo, you'll start seeing both the local upper-class, as well as the English, Italian and American upper-class.

Still about though

So? He cant talk about food and fancy restaurants in the Dr?

you need to go look for those types of videos,not on this channel,

You must to be Haitian 🙄

@@jeralmontillarodriguez8162 I am an American and I am not Haitian. I worked with over 80 Dominicans, I know the history. I don't know really what's going on DR. I am not getting into the politics, just like the USA, there are problems, it's how we as a people handle the situation..

@@thepassportlife aquí no hay ningún problemas con eso,los estados unidos quieren que República Dominicana cargue con todos los problemas de Haiti, y nosotros no podemos y ustilizan el chantaje como decir que somos racista y no prohibieron las entradas de azúcar Dominicana a los estados unidos para que el gobierno Dominicano recibas millones de Haitianos refugiados cosa que esté país no tienes las capacidade ni las fuerzas para recibir esa gente aparte que tenemos como cinco millones en República Dominicana.

@@juanpablomoradelossantos6193 I now fully understand the situation Juan.

@@thepassportlife what I just noticed is someone talking about a country where he hasn't been ever. At least visit DR if you want to criticize us, then you going to have a more accurate point of view....we are not racist but the matter of things is that we can't let people who want to destroy our country as they did with their to get into Dominican Republic, we have the right to defend our nationality.
