Cheapest
Places to Live In the World
According to CNN the
5 Cheapest Countries to Live In are
5. Pakistan - Though
politically unstable, the weak Pakistani Rupee favors the American
Dollar, making some things unbelievably cheap. Things such as petrol
and meals in restaurants may be equal or more expensive than its
American counterpart, but what really makes Pakistan cheap is its
real estate. A 4 bedroom house with running water in the urban
center of Karachi will only set you back $33,000. Now that's a
jaw-dropper.
4. Philippines - 200,000 Americans living in this Asian country
cannot be wrong. A taxi ride for about a mile will cost you 20 cents
while a haircut will be a whooping 80 cents. The cost of a live in
maid for a month? $45. Tuition at a local university for a semester
will only cost you a mere $250. The Filipino people all speak
perfect English, making the Philippines not only the cheapest
country in Asia, but also the most appealing to Americans for it
being the only Christian, English-Speaking, tropical Asian nation.
3. Argentina - Recently, Argentina has dropped dramatically in the
rankings from being one of the costliest countries in the world to
one of the most affordable, due to economic crisis that has plagued
this South American nation. Leather goods such as jackets and purses
are approximately half of what they cost in the States. A movie
ticket? $4. Although real estate may not be as cheap as in the
Philippines or Pakistan, the amazingly affordable food and services
make up for it.
2. Zimbabwe - Not much is known about this mysterious African
country, but that its goods are relatively cheap, thanks to having
the world's highest inflation rate at 1,000%. Recently, real estate
prices have skyrocketed, but the rapidly dropping value of the
Zimbabwean currency balances out. A liter of milk = .84 cents; a
kilogram of beef is approximately .60 cents.
1. Paraguay - The
cheapest country in the world, according to the Cost of Living
Survey conducted by Mercer annually, is the hidden gem of South
America, Paraguay. Your monthly rent in your downtown apartment will
set you back only $150 and the price for a night at a nice, clean
hotel is an astonishing $5. Want more crazy prices? Beer is .60
cents while a meal in a restaurant consisting of salad and steak
will cost you $3. Want to live like a king? Your dollars will go the
farthest here, giving it the title of Cheapest Country in the World.
