50 Cheapest Countries To Live In by searchng4love: 4:22pm On Feb 22, 2017
Whether you are close to retirement and want to see the world or are young and simply itch to live abroad, finding an inexpensive place to explore is the key to making your dreams a reality. So, it only makes sense to think about where you can live a richer life for less.
Using online pricing database Numbeo, GOBankingRates.com ranked nations by four key affordability metrics. Each metric is measured against what you would find in New York City:
Local purchasing power index: Measures the relative purchasing power of a typical salary in that country. A lower purchasing power buys fewer goods, while a higher purchasing power buys more.Rent index: Includes typical rental prices in the country.Groceries index: Includes typical grocery prices in the country.Consumer price index: Includes costs of local goods and services — including restaurants, groceries, transportation and utilities.

Groceries are 62.35% cheaper
Local goods and services are 61% cheaper
First on our list of the cheapest countries to live in is the Republic of Kenya on the east coast of Africa. It sits right on the equator, which means anyone thinking of moving here should enjoy warm weather. The country is home to 42.7 million people, and its ethnic diversity makes the culture fascinating and colorful.

Rent is 82.95% cheaper
Groceries are 66.47% cheaper

The principal religion is Islam, the official language is Persian and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has authority over the judiciary, armed forces and state-controlled media. As the media faces tight regulations, moving to Iran might not be your first choice if you value a free press.

Rent is 86.02% cheaper
Groceries are 63.26% cheaper

Visitors appreciate the rich geographic diversity, with its mountains, deserts and ocean. But the real economic backbone of the nation is oil.

7. China
Local purchasing power is 32.16% lower
Rent is 81.33% cheaper
Groceries are 52.26% cheaper
Local goods and services are 55.24% cheaper
The People's Republic of China has the biggest population of any nation in the world at 1.35 billion. But that doesn't mean the country is densely populated, given its huge size of 3.7 million square miles. You'll find huge cities like China's capital, Beijing, teeming with markets and tourist attractions, but beware of high pollution levels. Unfortunately, rural areas have not benefited as much from this country's fast-growing economy.

8. Croatia

Rent is 89.91% cheaper
Groceries are 60.09% cheaper
Local goods and services are 52% cheaper
If you've ever visited Italy's eastern coastline, you've seen the beautiful Adriatic Sea. Right across that body of water lies Croatia, a small country with an equally picturesque coastline.

Cyprus is an island nation in the far eastern Mediterranean Sea and a member of the EU. It is populated by Turkish Cypriots in the north and Greek Cypriots in the south.

You'll find neither litter nor graffiti, but plenty of dense forests and simple villages.

These landscapes might appeal to retirees as well.

Local purchasing power is 80.58% lower
Rent is 93.17% cheaper
Groceries are 70.59% cheaper
Local goods and services are 65.86% cheaper
English is the official language of Uganda, so that makes it easier to think of retiring there. This landlocked nation is located in Central Africa, to the west of Kenya. Since gaining independence from Britain in 1962, Uganda went through some very tough times marked by coups, wars and dictatorships but emerged fairly stable and financially sound.

14. Montenegro

Rent is 90.46% cheaper

If you're planning for an early retirement on a tropical island kissed by the sun most of the year, you're in luck. This island nation just off the southern tip of India has eight UNESCO world heritage sites. Explore rainforests and miles of beaches, feast on spicy foods and see elephants. However, not all has been peaceful on this lovely isle. A decades-long civil war has left tensions between the majority Sinhalese and Tamil minority.

16. Armenia
Local purchasing power is 67.12% lower
Rent is 90.09% cheaper
Groceries are 73.17% cheaper
Local goods and services are 66.13% cheaper

It gained independence from the USSR in 1991, but still obtains gas from Russia. With Armenia's high unemployment and poverty rates, many young people are leaving to seek a better life elsewhere. Even a modest American retirement check will go a long way in Armenia.

Syria lands on our list of the most affordable countries to live in — but don't pack your bags yet.
Few countries are more war-torn than Syria. Located in the Middle East alongside countries like Turkey, Lebanon and Iraq, Syria has been crippled by a bitter civil war that is causing many citizens to flee their homes and become refugees in other countries. When at peace, Syria has much to offer for expats, including high mountains, fertile plains and a coastline along the Mediterranean Sea. But peace does not seem to be a near-future reality for Syria.

Rent is 88.93% cheaper

Its extreme natural beauty and abundant flora and fauna will thrill you, whether you come as a tourist or expatriate. The culture is enhanced by the country's large indigenous population.

Local purchasing power is 63% lower
Rent is 94.39% cheaper
Groceries are 67.29% cheaper
Local goods and services are 63.9% cheaper
Crammed between India and Burma, Bangladesh is a densely populated nation. Over 152 million people live in this country's 55,598 square miles, much of which is a delta of rivers that empty into the Bay of Bengal. It is a lush and stunning country, but there are drawbacks to retiring here. Bangladesh is vulnerable to flooding and cyclones and may fare poorly with rising waters resulting from global warming.

Local purchasing power is 58.8% lower
Rent is 89.56% cheaper
Groceries are 68.49% cheaper
Local goods and services are 64.47% cheaper

Groceries are 66.05% cheaper
Local goods and services are 65.29% cheaper
With some 7,000 islands to choose from in the Philippines, even the most choosy retirees may find one to love. The islands are mostly mountainous, and subject to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. The climate is often warm and sunny, but the country can suffer from monsoons and typhoons. The U.S. is a close ally of the Philippines, however, and many of the 96.5 million people residing here speak English. That would make retiring easier.

24. Azerbaijan
Local purchasing power is 69.2% lower
Rent is 89.34% cheaper
Groceries are 77.07% cheaper
Local goods and services are 72.24% cheaper
The Republic of Azerbaijan is located in the Middle East just above Iran, with a Caspian Sea coastline. Most of the 9.6 million people speak Azeri and/or Russian, and are Islamic. If having a group of English-speaking friends is important to you in retirement, this might not be your spot — Lonely Planet reports the country has few English speakers. Still, it lands near the middle in our ranking of the most affordable countries to retire in.

25. Turkey
Local purchasing power is 44.36% lower
Rent is 89.44% cheaper
Groceries are 66.54% cheaper
Local goods and services are 61.4% cheaper
Turkey straddles Europe and Asia, a large nation with about 74.5 million residents. Its hopes to enter the European Union have not yet been realized, and some EU nations have concerns about its repressive government. Turkey has an American expat population that raves about its cheap, excellent medical care and cheap housing while decrying the prevalence of domestic violence. If a community of expats is important to you, consider moving in Istanbul rather than a smaller town that is less likely to have American enclaves.

26.Algeria
Local purchasing power is 63.34% lower
Rent is 93.17% cheaper
Groceries are 67.5% cheaper
Local goods and services are 67.62% cheaper

This French colony lost more than 1 million people in the fight for independence, but now has a relatively stable economy thanks to oil and gas.

Georgia has 4.3 million people, most of whom speak Russian, Georgian or both. If it's important to you to retire in a country where freedom of speech is guaranteed, you should know that the Georgian constitution protects freedom of speech. Newspapers and TV programs often criticize the government without reprisal.

It reclines beside the Caribbean Sea and shares a border with Guatemala. Tourists flock to Belize for its beaches, reefs, wildlife and Mayan ruins. Best of all, English is the official language and, just off the coast of Belize, is Caye Caulker, a premiere but cheap island getaway.

49. Saudi Arabia
Local purchasing power is 38.05% higher
Rent is 85.64% cheaper
Groceries are 59.46% cheaper
Local goods and services are 51.63% cheaper
Saudi Arabia is one of the most important and influential nations of the Arab world. This Middle Eastern nation is prospering thanks to its strong oil industry centered on crude oil, petroleum refining and petrochemicals. Its population of 28.7 million primarily speak Arabic. Unfortunately for American retirees, Saudi Arabia is also known for its attachment to a puritan version of Sunni Islam that embraces brutal punishments and severe restrictions on women's dress and activities.

50. India
Local purchasing power is 23.27% lower
Rent is 93.23% cheaper
Groceries are 74.8% cheaper
Local goods and services are 74.92% cheaper
Coming in as the country with the lowest cost of living is India. In the 70 years since its independence, India has made enormous strides in almost every area. Today, its 1.2 billion residents power the fourth-largest economy on the planet. It produces enough food to export, and life expectancy has more than doubled. It is the world's largest democracy, a vast and diverse nation of some 1.2 million square miles.

I'd like to travel to all of them except Libya and Syria for obvious reasons. Although Saudi Arabia is a beautiful and prosperous country, I might be hesitant to visit for personal reasons.
