With the cost of living rising so high in many countries, it’s a worry for many of us how we’re going to live when we get old. I have a half-serious plan to save up as much money as I can, and then move to a very cheap country. So far I’m thinking of the following … ## 1. Albania ![Albania](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/08/8-cheap-countries-to-move-to/albania_8-cheap-countries-to-move-to_490x323.jpg) Photo Credit: [Kushtrim (~ K 2 ~)](https://www.flickr.com/photos/kushtrimi_k2/3938372450/) As the poorest country in Europe, Albania sounds like a good bet. Admittedly it might not be too popular with the locals if this starts a trend, and everyone moves in, buys up the property and price out the locals. However, if I get in early, I could be an Albanian property mogul while it’s still cheap … ## 2. Mexico ![Mexico](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/08/8-cheap-countries-to-move-to/mexico_8-cheap-countries-to-move-to_474x500.jpg) Photo Credit: [Vincent Lefebvre](https://www.flickr.com/photos/vincentlefebvre/1186033378/) I’ve always felt drawn to Mexico. It could be fun to get myself a harem of Mexican toyboys … and what’s not to love about the country that invented chocolate? ## 3. Cambodia ![Cambodia](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/08/8-cheap-countries-to-move-to/cambodia_8-cheap-countries-to-move-to_494x327.jpg) Photo Credit: [Souvik_Prometure](https://www.flickr.com/photos/souvikb/4244351506/) Apparently, you can live well in Cambodia for just £300 a month. Add the beautiful scenery, amazing architecture and fabulously cheap food … sounds good! ## 4. Costa Rica ![Costa Rica](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/08/8-cheap-countries-to-move-to/costa-rica_8-cheap-countries-to-move-to_500x332.jpg) Photo Credit: [Toh Gouttenoire](https://www.flickr.com/photos/tohgouttenoire/2177155672/) More beautiful scenery, plus if you like the active life there are so many outdoor activities. Very tempting for a Spanish speaker … ## 5. Bulgaria ![Bulgaria](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/08/8-cheap-countries-to-move-to/bulgaria_8-cheap-countries-to-move-to_500x333.jpg) Photo Credit: [Ivan S. Abrams](https://www.flickr.com/photos/trainplanepro/694874995/) Now part of the EU, prices in Bulgaria are sure to rise. For now, though, it’s still a bargain compared to most other European countries. Housing is cheap, the food is good and the environment healthy, with lots of forests and national parks. ## 6. The Philippines ![The Philippines](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/08/8-cheap-countries-to-move-to/the-philippines_8-cheap-countries-to-move-to_500x333.jpg) Photo Credit: [laz'andre](https://www.flickr.com/photos/andrecawagas/127397931/) How about an apartment for $150 a month? The Philippines even offer a special visa for retirees, and you don’t need to be that old to apply, just have a certain amount of capital. Plus English is widely spoken. ## 7. Paraguay _ Photo Credit: Igor Alecsander_ This is one of the cheapest countries to live in in the world. The capital, Asuncion, is ranked as one of the cheapest cities in South America. Sounds good! ## 8. Ecuador ![Ecuador](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/08/8-cheap-countries-to-move-to/ecuador_8-cheap-countries-to-move-to_500x334.jpg) Photo Credit: [avner_ofer](https://www.flickr.com/photos/by_avner/4857373302/) As a Spanish speaker, I do rather favour countries with that as their native language. There are plenty to choose from! Ecuador has lovely colonial towns, coast, mountains and the Amazon jungle … imagine being able to see all the wildlife … Do you fancy packing up and moving somewhere cheap? Which countries do you favour? What advice would you give to someone considering a move?
