I survived el Salvador, been here for over a decade. I would recommend living here , it is very safe no more gangs no more problems.

Wokeism is non existent.
Salvadorians are very conservative
So much so I think It will be hard to decriminalise weed.

Cost of living is up to you, you want to live in tourist traps? west side fuck boy life style spend your hard earn Sats? or be a cheap fuck like Mr.M and stack as hard as humanly possible by living on the east side in a jungle?

All is priced in USD

Rent
150- 350 a month
you can imagen the one I go for,
Thats right the hamoc outdoors
Roofs are so fiat

Food
depends your diet
If your carni it would be around 320 a month
If your vegan probaby around 140
Month

Phone
well since Im loser and I love my sats more than people I pay 75$ a YEAR its the best plan I found so far
But a typical well loaded plan can run you about 25 a month

Internet/cable
25 a month
depends your internet speed needs.
Comes with good amout of channels that I never watch

Electricity
is about 0.28 a kw
If you live like me your bill is about 13 a month

Water
Here you pay per cubic meter but the more you use the higher the cost per cubic meter.
I use about 10 cubic meter a month so I pay 2.89 a month.

Drinking water
this might be a surprise to most people, no I don't dig a hole and drink water from it, nor do I live off coconut water I buy bottle water the big ones the 19liter ones
They go for 2.20 each and since I avoid seeing people as much as possible I buy 10 at a time

Another option buy land and live off of it
1.7acres can go for about 2500$

Hope this helps
