Living the simple life in Belize can help you stretch your hard-earned money. This is good news for anyone seeking a place to live that offers a high quality of life on a fixed income, but this may mean planning for a different future.
Tourists may not experience these cost savings, but full- and part-time residents living in Belize quickly begin to see the benefits.
First, many costs are less than what you will be used to back home. Second, your lifestyle is likely to be different. It is less about keeping up with the Joneses and more about living a comfortable lifestyle.

The key to maintaining a low cost of living in Belize is getting to know the local vendors, farmers, and suppliers. I have several Belizean friends with higher standards of living than many “First World” residents. They purchase locally grown foods, which are far superior to the more expensive processed foods imported from abroad.
Also, they have more quality time with their family and friends because they can afford maids, cooks, and gardeners. They build their houses using readily available local materials and talent. If they need something that isn’t on hand, they go to the Mennonites in Spanish Lookout who can fabricate just about anything for far less the cost of importing it.
