It's the worst in the whole world, if you have anything seriously wrong with you it'll bankrupt in less than a year, seen it happen to people even making 120k a year, it's just not practical.
Hey Darrell, We finally moved to Matagalpa and we are really enjoying it. We will be here for maybe a year or two. We have quickly decided Nicaragua is just too warm for us, even here in the mountains. There are sooooo many things we do love, especially the people. Hope all is well with you ! Scott
Very good, happy to heard that, I love Nicaragua, I retired from the US where I lived 50 years, I'm a Nicaraguan born, and was not able to leave well with my pension in the US, and when you talk about medical or Hospitals, yes you can go to private hospitals and Drs but if you need, the medicine is totally free, every where in the country. I'm very happy here, and yes, it's a very safe.
Is it true some Nicaraguans don't at all pay property tax or in some areas of the country you don't have to pay property tax on your house and if it's an area to area or town to town kind of thing, which towns are like this?
@@hoppeanofasgard1365 Some are so poor they cannot pay but they have tightened up on this. Certainly cannot sell the property until all taxes are paid but there can be negotiations.
@@bushamy13 Yea I heard it's similar in Mexico that technically you don't have to pay but if you don't they don't let you sell your property. Still this is far superior to in the US where as if you don't pay the government will actually come take your house from you.
Do people have automatic cars there? Also what does it typically cost to get an automatic transmission repaired in Nicaragua if you so happen to need that service? Thanks.
It’s a great country. Try Jinotega, cooler weather, lots of expanded or new businesses. My landlord just opened a coffee shop. Local Mexican restaurant tripled in size. And someone opened a three story gym. The local La Colonia has some exotic foods including miso paste and digestive biscuits.
Yes. Nicaragua is beautiful, and your $$ last longer. I am Nicaraguan, and I will go back there when I retire to make businesses. I like your video very informative for those who doesn't know my country.❤thanks a lot. Always there are good things in a country like nicaragua even is not a rich country 😅.
In Ecuador internet is cheaper, about $25 to $40 a month, electricity is typically cheaper too in most regions, usually around $30 to $50, but in some areas it can get as high as $100 especially if you're running AC all the time.
I’m curious if Nicaragua has a lower cost of living than Paraguay? I’m interested in these two countries for relocating and possibly Albania!. All very inexpensive places to retire cheap.
Having only lived in Nicaragua I can only comment as a Nica. We have lived here for 16 years and no regrets. Selling our home now and more information at www.nìcaraguacountryliving.com.
@@bushamy13 thanks so much!! I sure enjoyed the video, and would sure love to get my parents down that way. It seems. ike their quality of life would go up compared to here in Utah.
@@maribelcalens6514 Have you visited Paraguay? I understand Paraguay is also very very inexpensive place to live. And food prices are cheaper than Nicaragua. I do have to say Nicaragua looks like it has a more beautiful landscape!
Hi Darrell. I am form Canada I am 34 , I am thinking hard about moving to managua in October and Rent a Hotel hostel in metro central I found. For only $2000 a month. I thought it’s good for a live and work. Is this a good decision?
Me and my wife have been curious about moving to Nicaragua for quite som time now, this video was great good tips!, but I was appalled when I heard u say dead cats, is that a problem in Nicaragua do you have a lot of dead cats?
No, you can use the free facilities but you probably will not want to since the regular clinics and hospitals are very reasonable. Sorry about deleting your other comment but we do not express opinions about politics or economics.
@@marilucorracini550 I must be missing your point ? Nicaragua has public healthcare and private healthcare. Public healthcare is free, I believe, for citizens and residents. My wife is a citizen. My question was concerning my status when we retire there, and if I qualified for public healthcare as a tourist or had to get private healthcare until I am a resident. What does healthcare in the US have to do with my question ?
Our friends and we often use the free health care but with very low private care, we go to the private care when possible if for a serious issue. For example, I had gotten a golfball-sized kidney stone which obviously could not be passed. The surgery cost a total of $800.
education for dummies. I have no education and am making as much as someone with no education. Sheesh. I am going to retire and have a home in Nicaragua . I am getting your book Data Analysing Robot Youth Lifeform.
I will move to Nicaragua, I am tired of the medical system in the USA.

Well especially with property taxs being so low to non existent and them not taxing your pensions right?
No taxes on outside income.
Thinking of moving back to the motherland. Canada is getting too expensive.
In Ecuador internet is cheaper, about $25 to $40 a month, electricity is typically cheaper too in most regions, usually around $30 to $50, but in some areas it can get as high as $100 especially if you're running AC all the time.

@@adamhall6247 Hi Adam, feel free to send any questions. My email is bushamy13@yahoo.com
Nicaragua is way more affordable, but the most important it is way way way safer. People are very friendly and honest.

Wait so there's no movie theaters in Granada?

Wait, how many dead cats were you throwing out? Kinda sus...
Ya I’m also curious about this, I heard u say any trash then you said dead cats? How many dead cats u got
Me and my wife have been curious about moving to Nicaragua for quite som time now, this video was great good tips!, but I was appalled when I heard u say dead cats, is that a problem in Nicaragua do you have a lot of dead cats?
Only an example that they take anything.
Seen this place
For sale now
What is for sale? The house they built or the one they rented for 8 years?
Medical free for tourists or you have to be a resident ?
No, you can use the free facilities but you probably will not want to since the regular clinics and hospitals are very reasonable. Sorry about deleting your other comment but we do not express opinions about politics or economics.
@@bushamy13
Thank you.
I understand. Thx
@@bananapatch9118 is medical free in the U.S.?? Oops sorry, now I remember. It's not free for anybody!

I wonder if the couple featured receives any funding from NGOs?
Nope, all of our community support is done for free.
I've heard native Nicaraguans don't even pay property tax on their homes, any truth to that?
Majority pay but it is so little.
education for dummies. I have no education and am making as much as someone with no education. Sheesh. I am going to retire and have a home in Nicaragua . I am getting your book Data Analysing Robot Youth Lifeform.
