I forgot the Medicare cost so it is truly $656. after the medicare payment

which make it even worse. I am hoping I can live on $656. in Ecuador

since you say your rent is $250. for a 3 bedroom. I need a place that

is wheelchair accessible incase the better weathe does not always help.

I will be less disabled getting out of the awful summers and cold winters.

I have a old big monitor computer desktop thats xp would

@maggiecabral8 Hi Maggie, Yes, it is possible to live on that. The Ecuadorians do it. The real question is, are you willing to live on that. It means living without a car. Eating local fruits and vegetables. Living in an Ecuadorian neighborhood, not a gringo gulch. Enjoying simple inexpensive pleasures for recreation, like nice weather, good food, reading, walks, etc. Would need more specific information about you to encourage you. Go to the blog, contact us directly.

Why do the people in this video all have attitudes? I'd be bored shitless being around a bunch of smart asses like that. Are there any nice American expats living there?

I am in a inpossible situation in the States with a check too small to

live on in the States so please tell me about moving to Ecuador. I have

the catch 22 being I need to see doctors every 3 monthes in U.S.A. if

I can't get the care and medical supplies in Ecuador with Insurance.

I only get $806. a month. I was hoping to start a charity if Americans

will support it wheelchairs for poor Ecuadorians who can't afford a

wheelchairs . Thanks Please tell me about Ecuador

I am thinking of moving to Eciador since I can't find any nice

weather with a low price in the States.

Right Now I am stuck in Connecticut with the awful winters

so cold and awful summers so hot they make me wheelchair

bound. I am disabled with Multiple Sclerosis, Sclerosis of the

spine, Tumors, Failing Kidneys, Arthrisis and Pain that needs

pain Management. I get $806. which means homelessness in

my area with $1000. rents and about $450. utilities. $300. food

Thanks
