Is the cost of living in Sri Lanka high?

Answer this Question

We asked people about the cost of living in Sri Lanka, they wrote...

"The cost of living in Sri Lanka is generally considered to be quite affordable. The capital city of Colombo is the most expensive place to live in the country, with prices for goods and services being higher than in other parts of the country. The rental price for a nice 1 bedroom apartment in Colombo is around $500 USD per month, while a nice 2 bedroom apartment can cost up to $800 USD per month. Eating dinner at a moderately priced restaurant in Sri Lanka can cost around $10 USD per person," said a member in Sri Lanka.
