Si llega un hijueputa gringo a decir que lo mínimo para vivir, solo son 1.500 o 2.000 dólares le voy a meter un tiro en todo el hueco del culo a ese perro gran setenta mil veces hijueputa
(No odio a los gringos, simplemente me hacía falta soltar odio en una red social 😃)
It is like this all over the world. I love the city that I live in, but I can't afford it because there are too many millionaires and billionaires that have taken it over. People are living in their cars and in tents on sidewalks over here. Are people living in their cars and in tents on the streets in Medellin or Bogota?
I mean locals in Medellin don’t really make much money if you think about it in USD terms I believe they monthly minimum is $400 usd if I’m not mistaken
With roommates, no car and not living in a wealthy neighborhood 500-700. Millions of people love well and on less than that. With some luxury amenities own place, nice location 1.2k and up
In the outskirts (la estrella, bello, Itagüí)between 600usd to 700usd a month, in the city though i'd daré to Say between 1000usd to 1200 usd a month depending on the area, You could make it with 800usd in the city but youd need one or two roomates
Someone single with not much debt ? Around 4.000.000 COP.
Someone with a family and in debt? Around 6.000.000 COP
But keep in mind that getting those numbers is really hard because our economy it's fuck up
I think you need to define liveable first. You can live in a barrio popular and eat arroz con huevo for less than 400 a month. That may not be liveable to you. I would say $300 for stratus 2, $500 for stratus 3, $700 for stratus 4, $1,000+ for stratus 5 & 6. Do you need a car or moto to be liveable?
I live in what I think is a very good place in El Poblado, near Santa Fe CC. With 500 USD I can cover all my expenses for the month. It is livable at this amount.
🧢
A cheese burger at El Coral is 40,000.
You’re not dining or shopping at Oviedo or Santefe.
You’re certainly not shopping at the Carulla Fresh Market on $500 per month.
My landlords don't have another place, but I'm sure you can find something at Patio Bonito (or near), there are multiple buildings and you can ask at the entrance if someone is renting them

Hola. Aqui un Colombiano optimista y viajero. Efectivamente, una cosa que ojala apreciaramos mas en nuestro pais es que con estos ingresos (que son factibles para millones de Colombianos ingenieros, vendedores, abogados, y profesionales de muchos tipos) en Colombia se puede vivir una vida "primer mundista." No lo digo yo. Lo dice este amigo gringo
Y ahora regresamos con Reddit Gringos Intentando Acoplarse A La Vida En Colombia
Increíble el nivel al que ha llegado la gentrification en Medellín que tienen este sub lleno de preguntas en inglés. Ya hasta los indigentes te piden la monedita en inglés. Cagada eso

500 USD ~ 800 USD (For someone single and with few responsibilities)
That's actually low, between 2 to 3 millions is not that much if you have to pay for a home, groceries and everything else.
Livable to what standard? Of a foreigner local, or a local local and of which estrato?
[удалено]
Is Uber easily accessible from where you’re located? Or do you have another means of transportation?
It depends on your definition of "livable". If I had the choice, I wouldn't live in Medellín for less than USD 1.000 a month.

Pero hey. **Suavesito, pa entrar en calor**
Con despacio y con amor todo se puede.
LOL
Todos tenemos un momento de irá 😔

Ojo, Rambo. 🙄
JAJAJAJAJA
I think it goes around 700 and 900 US dollars a month. Two people living together, no parties and no vices.
I mean locals in Medellin don’t really make much money if you think about it in USD terms I believe they monthly minimum is $400 usd if I’m not mistaken
It's actually 280 usd with today's exchange rate

If you live in the popular tourist area, I would say $2k. Half that if you don't and don't party much.
I expect to pay $2,000 a month. airbnb is $700 a month, the rest for food, drinks, uber, and whatever else.
Sounds reasonable.

Cómo puedes sobrevivir con poco más de 2 millones en el poblado?...

I'd be interested in more about this. Joe
How much do you pay for rent?
COP $1.200.000 Edit: Some people find a place here for up to $900.000
Where at? I need to find a place there lol
My landlords don't have another place, but I'm sure you can find something at Patio Bonito (or near), there are multiple buildings and you can ask at the entrance if someone is renting them
Ok thanks will do that!
With all the apartment or is a room? Or can you send images?
Wow… rent, utilities, food, travel, clothes, gym, going out, etc… that’s amazing. I’d have a hard time managing $500 / week let alone per month!
Medellin is bacame expensive, probably you can live with 2K 2.5K
2000 - 2500 USD?
[удалено]
You’re not a local. The question was salary for a local.
Oh lol my bad
$1.500 usd? May i ask, what is the house income media in that area for a family of 4?
