We have done some formal calculations (based on dollar purchasing power parity- PPP) as well as informal adding up of our own expenses. The theory behind PPP is that exchange rates should adjust to equalize the price of a basket of goods and services around the world. In the United States $1,000 is the equivalent of, well, $1,000. But in Nicaragua, it rounds up to a hefty $4,144. An average monthly budget here is around $800-$1000 for very good living. On construction costs - these average at around $69 ft2 to $80 ft2 for high end quality construction with hardwoods, granite countertops, etc Hope this helps.

Although we both have good jobs and a lot of good friends here we can not get the tropics out of our blood. We talk about moving down south for good everyday and have decided to start saving for it. Our 5 year plan. The trouble is we have no idea how much we will need to save to be comfortable long term. Can you help me out? I am curious as to building costs, land that is not through an American company, how much approx. to build a pool and living expenses. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I hope you are as happy in Nicaragua as we plan to be. Thank you My husband and I returned to Calgary,Alberta last May after traveling Central America for 6 months.
