You two are absolutely delightful to watch. It seems that the cost of living in Ecuador is about 35% (on average) of the cost of living in the U.S. Your condo is a steal at $1,300. Love the video & appreciate your work. God Bless! - Mel.

Congrats on eliminating alcohol. I did that three years ago for the same reason: it really didn’t fit with my otherwise healthy lifestyle and the more I researched the more I learned how toxic alcohol is to the body. I feared my ability to have fun/relax and my social life would suffer but I still have fun and relax and have no problem being around others who might be drinking. I don’t miss it at all. I’ve saved a lot of money and my overall health and energy level as a result!

@@AmeliaAndJP Awe it's so nice to see my favorite internet couple back on my screen. For future videos why don't you show us what it's like for disabled folks in the nation? When you go to bathrooms in your building or out in public do they have the grab bars on both sides of the toilet? I couldn't see an in your condo. Do they have certain rooms set aside for disabled people that meet their needs? The US disability community did a study that the best sidewalk length for deaf signers to see each other while walking was 14'0" wide. Do any of Ecuador's towns meet that measurement? Do Asians, Muslims or Atheists face more discrimination in Ecuador than other South American nations? Also you mentioned gay rights in at least one q & a & also met a gay couple in a supermarket (I think in at least 1 of your old videos). What is the nation like for gay travelers? Do they need to look over their shoulders more in this country than others? Do lesbian couples have to fear an increase rape rate in addition to gay bashings? Since women are paid less in most countries still today, would lesbians suffer double sex discrimination with any work pay in Ecuador? Are native born trans folk trying to leave the country for someplace better? Does the health plans cover trans medical needs? You can do deep dives into smaller communities needs/requirements with future videos if you're looking for some video ideas. Keep up the good & entertaining work!

Ridiculously reasonable. The views from your apt are spectacular and for $1300/mo you CANNOT beat that. The only thing I disagree with you on is not drinking. My wife and I would HAVE to have a glass of wine in the evening on that beautiful porch over looking the water. Glad you both seem to have found a little slice of paradise.

@werkerbeesue 3 года назад

you can beat $1300/month in rent in EC consider that minimum wage in EC is $400/month...that same amount for rent would get you a really superb place - i.e. don't get gringoed, by gringos. They chose a real estate agent who, from what I've viewed, is an absolute douche! I hope you do better!

@proyectonuevo7487 3 года назад

It seems to me a cheap rent considering everything that the condominium offers, obviously at the level of Ecuador could be considered as expensive, I paid 300 in Guayaquil for an apartment that offered much less than that of you hehe we must consider that the rent of 1300 is very cheap compared to the rent of the United States.. And. You're trying to explain how you can live abroad with the U.S. wage And I think that's fine because with 2300 you couldn't live in the U.S.

Your apartment is incredibly beautiful with views that are "to die for." I know many people cringed when they heard $1,300 a month for rent in Ecuador. I lived in Key West, Florida before moving to Ecuador and I paid $1,000 a month for a very small studio apartment just off Duval Street. My studio apartment consisted of only two rooms, a very small bathroom and the other room had a bed at one end and a kitchen area at the other end. If your apartment was in Key West I guarantee the rent would be several thousands of dollars a month.

@desertcogo 3 года назад

Hi JP and Amelia, Monica and I both love your apartment and we're ready to move to Manta. Can you recommend a rental agent to correspond with to find an apartment?

@anniesshenanigans3815 2 года назад

I love your videos thank you for sharing your stories with all of us. I moved to US from Ecuador back in 79 as a 14 year old along with my mom and brothers. My dad was already established here so we came to meet him. Now that I am in my 50s and looking at retirement I'm really contemplating moving back to Ecuador with my wife who's Mexican. My mom and dad retired back to Ecuador a few years ago they now live in Quito and each have their own apartment. We're really thinking about moving to Cotacachi, your videos have really sold us on it. We'll see what happens in a few years but I'll keep watching your adventures on viedeo, thank you from Texas USA.

Fabián ellos comentan y comparan con el nivel de vida de EEUU, con 1300 difícil puedan alquilar un departamento en EEUU con todas esas comodidades, eso ellos tratan de explicar, mi tía en miami renta una parte de su casa a un estudiante, creo solo es una habitación tipo suite por 1200 dólares, increíble lo caro que es la renta en EEUU.. Entonces un expatriados puede vivir con el salario americano cómodamente en un buen lugar en Ecuador, me parece lógico.. Si tu puedes pagártelo, porque no hacerlo? Yo en Guayaquil máximo podia pagar 300 por un departamento, pero si hubiera podido pagar por algo mejor lo hubiera hecho, la zona en que podía pagar eso era de la más peligrosa..

People shouldn't compare similar accomodation housing costs between countries. There are reasons the costs are so different. Compare within the country of course. Gringos prepared to pay higher prices as it's cheap compared to the US, will just inflate the cost of living in these countries.

@kristybobby 3 года назад

Thanks for sharing your budget, it's always interesting to see how they can vary from city to city. Your Manta home is lovely! The views are like a slice of heaven! You're so right about prices of apartments comparatively speaking. Apartments are so expensive in most areas of the states. When I began teaching in eastern MT six years ago, I thought I'd go to my college town of Missoula for retirement. Now, I simply can't afford to live the way I wish there. My 41 year old daughter was guilt tripping me about my plan to move abroad for retirement after one more school year. She said I wanted to live in opulence (hahahaha!) instead of just trying to get by and live close enough for her so she can watch out for me as I get old. She and her fiancé live 58 miles from Chicago and so for curiosity's sake I looked at prices of apartments in her town and most two bedroom, nothing special apartments are more than what you are paying. So, good for you! We must all live life to the fullest as long as we can!

@AmeliaAndJP 3 года назад

Thanks Kristine! Tomorrow is not guaranteed! Maybe your daughter will join you someday!

@1YuriC 3 года назад

Hi guys. As always, I love your videos. The rent is correct, but compared to the prices in the USA for what you got...is cheap. I'm an Ecuadorian living in NY, and we spend in groceries every 15 days what you spend there in a month. Reason why, because I miss products from Ecuador and that is expensive. I think the same thing happened to you. Enjoy it because live is short and that's what we work for. Love you guys. Buena suerte en todo!!!

So I see most comments are about your apartment: It's unanimous that the place has breathtaking views and envy-inducing amenities. Whether it's too much or too little depends more on what your income is than how it compares to New York, Chicago or L.A. It was fun for me to compare my cost of living from my Ecuador summers of 2012-14. At that time it was about half of what yours is today, but then I was only "half a couple" ;-)

@jlehmann7477 3 года назад

From personal experience from a friend of mine who lived in Ecuador prior to moving back to the states... If you are 65, which neither of you are..... You still want to pay for Medicare part B, even though you won't be using it in Ecuador. But you still want to get it because if/ when....a person moves back to the states, they are then charged a huge permanent increase in their Part B expenses if they didn't sign up and pay for it at 65 (many people in foreign countries fall victim to this). So if over 65, that might have to be added on top of the regular insurance. I love Ecuador and lived portions of 10 years there. Great place.... many intangibles come into play when looking for a place to live (retired or not) and I like the way you present what is good and bad. In order to get a full jest of it, a person should listen to all of your videos as you get into all of that throughout the course of your video play list, and then a person can decide.

Incredible for $1,300!!! Gorgeous place. Are there any more ocean view rentals in your building? My wife and I are very interested.

supermaxi/megamaxi is probably my happy place lol when i lived alone in college i managed to get my groceries there every time i went shopping for 100 bucks and it lasted 1-2 months, my mom and family always thought i was wasting money since the mercado is wayyyyyyyy cheaper but i just couldn't quit my beloved supermaxi, i used to go to some special days of the week when they have discounts on the veggies and i always ended up saving at least $30 each time :)

some relatives from the US recently moved back to Manta after 60 years and they are currently living in a department with an ocean view for $350/month, it is way smaller than your apartment but still pretty modern looking and the view is just breathtaking, there are many options for different budgets :)

What is the nightlife like in the Ecuadoran towns you've lived in? I know you recently stopped drinking but curious about what the nightlife is like there. Live music? Cost of a beer? Food available late? Dancing?
