Uruguay is becoming a known retirement haven thanks to its safe and secure economy and culture.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0Combined with its pleasant weather and first world amenities – such as fast, reliable internet and clean drinking water. About 90 percent of the population is European (mostly Spanish and Italian), so there is a European feel to the culture as well. This country offers a quiet lifestyle with farmland or life on the beachfront, whichever you prefer. It\u2019s small in size and population and allows for a happy, quiet retirement.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Uruguay<\/a> is not among the most affordable places to retire. When compared to other South American countries like <\/span>Nicaragua<\/span><\/a> or some parts of <\/span>Panama<\/span><\/a>, it can seem pricey. The current exchange rate from the U.S. dollar to the Uruguayan peso is 0.035 UYU to $1 USD. Still, with the dollar coming out so favorably, you\u2019ll still find yourself paying at least $700 USD\/month to rent a one-bedroom apartment in Montevideo. <\/span><\/p>\n Life in Uruguay is still plenty affordable, and likely cheaper than where you\u2019re coming from. A three-bedroom apartment in the city center runs at just over $1,000 USD per month. Depending on which lifestyle and area you choose, you can live a comfortable life on anywhere between $1,300 USD per month and $2,700 USD per month.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nCost of Living<\/b><\/h2>\n
