Question

Could an American live decently in Ecuador on $400. a month,lodging,food...etc?

Answer 1

13 bucks a day.........nope.............what are you going to do for medical insurance?

Answer 2

that depends on what you expect...if u come by yourself to a big city like the one I live in (Guayaquil), a decent room could cost you from $150 and you can find typical lunches (the main meal is taken between noon-3pm) from $1.50. If you plan to cook yourself, food supplies are really cheap compared to American prices (we export fruits and vegetables). Gas is around $2 per gallon.

Answer 3

You probably could if you really stretch. International Living is a good resource for living abroad on a budget. They publish a lot of free info on Ecuador too. You can email their local contact, he will give you all the info you need. http://www.internationalliving.com/count...
