We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Nicaragua, they wrote...
"It depends. You can live the Nica life and spend about $1000 per month per couple. Take into consideration the cost of flying to the US in case of serious health issues. According to my observation life in a Small Town in the USA close to a major hospital makes more sense than living in Nicaragua," commented one expat who made the move to Nicaragua.
