Hi,
I am new to the forum, and have been looking at posts for the past few days in order to get as much information as possible about living in Dominican Republic.
I was recently offered a job in Santiago that pays R.D. 30,000/month. My rent and utilities is paid directly by my employer, so I do not have to worry about that.
From what I have seen, I feel I could live very comfortably on R.D. 30,000/month since I do not have to worry about rent or utilities.
However, I just calculated my student loans (I graduate in May) and unless I can get them deferred, I will be paying about USD $200/month (maybe a little less).
So by my calculations, R.D. 30,000 - $200 would equal about R.D. 22,763/month.
I would really appreciate any insight people can give about living in Santiago on this amount of money. I won't have a car or any of those associated expenses, so I believe my only expenses will be food, dining out, entertainment, etc. (Most of which are luxuries and I can adapt).
So basically, what would life be like if I was living on R.D. 22,763/month and not having to worry about rent or utilities.
Thank you so much! I have found so much great information on these forums and I feel like you all will be a great help as I get close and closer to moving to Santiago.
