"Cost of living is much less than the US. Our particular situation is no property tax, utilities are my own (off grid), Internet, fuel and food are our only real costs besides entertainment. Internet is reliable and cheaper monthly in Bocas town then in the outer islands. The cost of food at the grocery store isn't "cheap" but surprisingly the restaurants are less. Getting bulk goods from Costco in David every couple months can save about 40% of your monthly food and disposable goods. Health insurance on a 70% /30% payment basis is only $148 monthly for the 2 of us (we are healthy). We spend less than $1500 a month when we are not traveling or being excessively social," remarked another expat in Bocas del Toro, Panama.
