The main 3 countries ill be in are colombia, Brazil and Argentina.

Once i like an area then ill try and rent out a longer term apartment. Ill eat out once a day and rest would be cooking.

My life wouldn't be too flashy. Mostly gym , going out here and there. Eating out once a day. Public transport. Travelling around the country etc Some fun here and there etc taking a girl out on a date somtimes to eat etc . I rarely drink alcohol,no drugs etc.

2100 usd monthly.

Thanks

I'm gonna put some reference prices from Argentina today. In 15 days the new elected president assumes and usually that means mayhem and probably changes in this.

-A studio rent: in a nice Buenos Aires area would start in 200/250 USD/Month, including common expenses. (example)

-Eating out, from 5 to 25 USD (this last one is a reaaally reaally nice place, 10 would be my a-ok average)

-Grocery Shopping: Estimate around 50/60 USD to get everything you need, from fresh stuff to pasta, beverages, etc.

-Services: Assuming an apartment sized like the one i've put as an example, you'd be expending around 40/60 bucks in electricity/gas/water/wifi/cell plan total.

-Gym: A gym subscription, in the biggest chain here, which would let you use any of the branches wherever you are, is 24 USD/Month.

-Transportation: Depending on what you do, you could spend around 1/2 dollars per day moving around. In case you'd want to get a cheap beater to move around, most of them are stick shift, and could get something about decent for 10K USD. Monthly costs for a car like that would be ballpark around 110 bucks between insurance, monthly license fees and a parking space. Add to that the fuel, which is like 2 USD/Gallon.
