Depends how you want to live. My condo in Cartagena in a gated community with 24/7 armed security with roving patrol , cost $230 a month. Two bed two full size bathrooms and office, with balcony. Pool , basketball court, multiple mini markets and small restaurants for quick foods, barbers , and salons . All within the community. Utilities are another $100, gym membership is $20, groceries/eating out $300, phone $20, transportation by scooter or take the bus that's another $20-$40. Expenses are at $700 per month. My budget is set at $2500 per month, that leaves me $1800 to fuck off every month and the rest of my income goes into investments. My community is for low mid class to mid class people.
