Life In Costa Rica
Like the other items on this list, the number of expats has driven an increase in prices. However, $1400 to $1700 will be enough for you to live comfortably each month. A pound of lettuce is only 50 cents and a pound of red snapper is just $4. You will have to pay $650 for a regular 900 square foot apartment and $38 for internet. Healthcare is affordable, and you can get full coverage from the public health insurance system by only paying $75 to $150 each month. A regular visit to the doctor will only set you back by $20. Another great thing about the country is all the things you can see and do. If you need a little convincing, just look up the cloud forest, the Manuel Antonio National Park, the Arenal Volcano, the Poas Volcano, and the Tabacon hot springs.

Malaysia
Did you know that Malaysia is one of the most popular places in Southeast Asia for retirement? Many locals speak English and the year-round temperatures are ideal at an average of 77 to 95 degrees. However, keep in mind that it is generally very humid and that the monsoon season runs from October to March. However, there are many things you can occupy yourself with over here. Feel free to visit the Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park, take a hike, go swimming, brave the Taman Negara National Park suspension bridges, see the Malacca Strait, and ride cable cars over the Genting Highlands mountains.
