Costa Rica is popular with tourists, but certain areas, such as the Central Valley region and the southern coast, are ideally suited for establishing permanent residence on a shoestring. Even if you decide to set up shop in the capital city of San Jose, rental prices can go as low as $417 per month or up to $1,042, depending on the neighborhood. Utilities typically run between $48 and $79 per month, so it's definitely possible to make your retirement savings stretch.

Palm trees, blue <g class="gr_ gr_68 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep" id="68" abp="414" data-gr-id="68">skies</g> and sandy beaches are some of the best reasons to retire in Belize, as is the fact that it's extremely budget-friendly. Housing in Belize City is dirt cheap, with a 900-square-foot furnished rental going for as little as $377 a month. The Qualified Retired Persons Incentive Program makes it even more attractive for retirees age 45 and up since any income earned from sources outside Belize is 100% tax-free.

I think this article is misleading. I'd say Costa Rica is a bit cheaper than the US but not a lot. Can you live here cheap? Yes, but I'm not sure how happy you'd be with your life. Although, maybe you could live here for 30 years on $200k if you put your money into Costa Rica CD's and lived mostly off of the interest. I was offered a rate of 10.8% last week on a 5 year CD. If you have $200k in the bank and a pension or social security, no problem.
