batman this can be accomplished in a place like DR especially santiago in particular. It is very convenient. since it is affordable and distances are perfect meaning not too far. transportation is cheap and u dont even need a car since u could call delivery for food or taxi uber. City is super clean especially now santiago looks like a diamond now. weather is great. sunny blue skies. u dont really need A/C but u need a fan. u can buy a house without those nasty taxes or HOA fees. you can rent a house in nice area $200 forget about taxes or HOA. make your money really count. dont waste on taxes or HOA. use money wisely you can live with pennies if u choose the right place. this is almost impossible in USA where everything is a "STANDARD" everybody pays the same and there is no escape to the system. always travel so your mind can see that there is a world outside USA.

Mills We still live in the USA. When I retire in 3 or 4 years, we can move there. We have family looking after the property. When we started the process in 2014, it was in planning. We kept paying until the total price was paid but they hadn’t broke ground on our condo yet. Since we paid the entire price of the original condo so they gave us a unit that was already finished. Ground still haven’t been broken on our original unit yet. So one must be wary of the process. That’s 6 years.

Which area would you recommend travelers stay in if they are looking to experience the night life in Santiago?

are u planning to stay in USA? or come back? is him adapting to US? do he miss his Santiago? Is it possible that you come to live here at some point?. I see people renting houses in nice places near villa olga 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms for $200 i see prices in US now 1,400 for a small apartment then electric and other services its too expensive. I would say it is hard for a Santiaguero to move away and stay there, they almost always want to move back especially if the guy was a family cared man.

Going on vacation want to visit Samana. Maybe a video on renting cars /WiFi/gps.

Nice channel, Mills. Cost of travelling: it's really cheap. I get from Cabarete, a small surfer village in the province of Puerto Plata, to Cap Haitien in Haiti at 10 USD, to Santo Domingo at 10 USD, to Port-au-Prince in Haiti at 20 USD. Travelling inside Haiti with taptaps is even cheaper, about half the price of guaguas in the DR.

Tip at the salon, 10-15%, restaurants we tip 20% too even with the taxes because they don’t split that up properly. Sometimes if you’re out someone will “watch” your car even if you didn’t ask lol so you can give them like 25 pesos for that.

So basically the cost of living is not balanced with the average salary. A single person could not survive on their income and afford the basics and yet some how they do. How is that possible ?

Carmen Reina del Sol it’s pretty rare for single people to live alone in the DR. Families stay together much longer and contribute to the bills together. If they’re not married they live at home. But if someone is single and living alone they either stick to the basics or their job pays more. I know people in santiago making much more than the average, depending on their career.

Man you can live like a king in Santiago with $500. the biggest expenses would be car which u don't really need one unless u want to visit samana, sosua, cabarete, puerto plata, jarabacoa, constanza, etc. Your dollar go further here.
