I have a friend who is retiring this year he asked me how would he live in RD on 5k a month I told him like a King 
Would you folks agree?  I think he could live anywhere on the island With King Status. ......

Guess I won't be running into you at Restaurant Bliss.

I am one of the guys when I made 5K in Florida I thunk I was rich! 3 or 4 vacations per year and a new car and truck every year. Who could ask for more?

If he is single he could live well. In the capital with a family and aspirations he would do better in most American cities

5k for a guy alone or a couple is more than enough to live comfortably. Not like a king though. (At least not in SD).

Family with children is a whole different story. Then 5k isn't enough to live even decent.

There are so many variable's. I have heard people say they live here paying 300 U.S dollars a month rent with no A/C. My electric bill is more than 300 .

I would think you could live decent Ie decent place to live, reliable transportation, ok schools etc but not a lot of extra money and you would always feel poor in comparison to the rich folks. It's easier having a mediocre existence in the us and I assume EU because your peers are less materialistic

I think eating out and running ac don't qualify you for king status.



Well Rfp it's more than more folks can do.... I do any thing I want .... I don't have close to 5k a month coming in and live way better here than is the states....

It's all relative, if you're hitting Don Pepe once a week, have a vehicle, entertain often, and have a 8 or 9 hundred dollar rent , which is not at all difficult, 5 gees is gonna be tight.

If you are single and can work less and enjoy more then you are in the right place. Time is our most precious commodity so if you have lots of that to do what you want then you are a king!!

I dont know about that southern man .. I have a lot less than 5k. ... And do what I want and pay 1200 in rent , and use uber. Think about it how much are you going to spent on food... ...  Now on the other hand if you are ****ing your money away at the casino and the flea bag chica ..... Yea money will be tight ,,,,,, after a while the partying gets old .

what could blow that 5 k budget is if you went to the beach or campo every weekend
