For Americans, prices seem low, but wages are also lower than in the US (monthly 1800 USD gross / 1400 USD take-home).

Hi Ariel, Long time no see. It's interesting to me that at my age (70), I spend about the same as you do per month, although just like you, some months I spend much more, for instance when I go to a "wellness spa" (an age-appropriate alternative to traveling for me). I am a Czech who spent most of his adult life in US (Northern California and Virginia) and who returned back to my native Southern Bohemia only after retiring four years ago. Now I live quite comfortably on Social Security in Ceske Budejovice where things are less hectic and a little bit cheaper than in Prague (where I used to live for over a decade in the seventies). I live alone, divorced for 5 years after a bland marriage that lasted 34 years, and I have two adult sons who live in US. Life is beautiful wherever it takes you, I think .... it's up to us to make it interesting. I look forward to seeing your posts about the strange people and country where you are living now!

I am planning to do the same. I remember winters in what used to be Czechoslovakia many years ago pretty brutal. In the last few years I only visited in the summer so I am not sure how things changed in the winter. Was it easy to adjust weather-wise?

@@jpny4750 Winters are much molder here now than when I was a kid. It's end of December, and the temperatures are from around zero in the morning to low teens in the afternoon. It has been like that for the last two weeks, with the exception of about 4 days when it was below zero (-11 centigrade on the coldest day), and the snow melted after the four days. So, not White Christmas ... not so much. Very similar to winters as I remember them from Eastern Virginia.

@@southernbohemian1 - Thank you for the info. It is probably just a little bit colder where you are than in NYC. I will hopefully make a trip there next year if there is not another C outbreak and travel doesn’t become difficult. Need to find a lawyer to help me reclaim my citizenship (lost it when I accepted the U.S. one). This will be a protracted process I fear, but I would not move without it, or some type of permanent residency.

What exactly do you do that you have so much money to spend?

There is nothing quite as wonderful as money! There is nothing like a newly minted pound! Everyone must hanker for the butchness of a banker It's accountancy that makes the world go round😀
