also home to some of the most diverse nature you will ever see and it's a cultural hot spot for
ethnic diversity 21. Nicaragua Nicaragua is one of the poorest countries in the world and not
everywhere in the country would be an ideal place for luxury but Managua the capital is
a nice gem the country has to offer an average of 633 dollars it definitely sits towards the
cheaper side of monthly cost of living while it is slightly more expensive than the rest of the
country to live in Managua as any urban area will be it is still considered an affordable luxury 20.
China it's no secret that Americans have a lot of political beef with China and the culture
shock for an American to move to China would be pretty significant but it's certainly not to be
overlooked when examining cheap luxury China has an average cost of living of 752 dollars per month
or about 5415 Yuans which is the Chinese currency and the economy is booming generally China has
higher average salaries than other Asian countries and the unique culture makes it even better with
