Living in Istanbul on a Low Budget

In today's video we visit with two Expats living in Istanbul Turkey on a low budget of $700 per month. The city of Istanbul is a bustling city of 17,000,000, today we visit with Sam and Fadwa who have fallen in love with West Istanbul, a quieter suburb that offers a great quality of life. The average US Retiree on Social Security receives $1,550 a month, and a couple on Social Security receives over $2,500 a month. Sam and Fadwa spend around $400 on utilities, insurance, and groceries and rent for a decent small home can be found under $300. Sam and Fadwa own their home and spend less than $700.00 a month. A US Expat living on Social Security can expect a great standard of living in Turkey when compared to the living costs in the US. Currently Turkey is a tremendous value for Expats with income from abroad, the exchange rate when this vide was made was 13.5 Turkish Lira to the US Dollar.

Are you looking for affordable and viable options? We are exploring the world to see what it's like to live in a country, and also discover if Residency is an option. We began our retirement in March of 2020 with the intent to travel the world, spending 1-3 months in a country or location. We want to see what it's like to live there and not simply visit, and we want to share these experiences and the costs with whoever wishes to follow along. We will make a commission on these links, your rates are not impacted.
