Will I save money living in Uvita?

"Yes, you are likely to save money living in Uvita compared to the United States. The cost of living in Costa Rica is generally lower than in the U.S. This includes expenses such as housing, groceries, and dining out. Healthcare is also significantly cheaper in Costa Rica. However, some imported goods, like cars and electronics, can be more expensive due to import taxes. It's also important to note that while the cost of living is lower, so are the average wages. Therefore, if you're planning to work in Costa Rica, you may earn less than you would in the U.S. But if you have a steady income from outside the country, such as a pension or remote work, you could potentially save a significant amount of money," remarked another expat in Uvita, Costa Rica.
