But if your family consists of only two people, then you have at least 8 options for countries where you will comfortably live on only $1,500 per month for two.

Granada (Spain)

Another Spanish city that delights with its magnificence from a cultural and historical point of view and its profitability from a financial point of view. There are about 220,000 permanent residents in Granada.

The cost of housing is on average about $600 per month, but more often than not, you can find cozy apartments in the heart of Granada. As for additional expenses - transport, food, walks and specialist services - expats will pay about $1,000 per month.

Querétaro (Mexico)

Mexican Querétaro attracts expats from North America and the European Union, who are actively moving to the city for new emotions and sensations. The permanent population of the city is approximately one million people, but it is difficult to give an exact figure, as it is regularly increasing. Many businesses from Mexico City move to Querétaro to work on more favorable terms.

A comfortable climate combined with low living costs is a great choice for relocation!
