Will I save money living in France?
We asked expats if they save money living in France. They said...
"The exchange rate fluctuations make budgeting a little chaotic at times, but on the whole we have not had any financial worries so far. Having said that, we did ensure we were mortgage-free and had a bit of savings in the bank before moving to cope with any unexpected emergencies. Day to day living can be as inexpensive or as expensive as you make it. If you keep going out for coffees, drinks, or meals, then your budget will rocket fast," remarked another expat in Aude and Herault Departments, France.
"Exceeded them even with the moving exchange rates. If you live outside of Paris or the popular tourist areas it is less expensive. Many of the services are very heap,compared to the US. Medical services here are excellent," said a member in Pezenas, France.
