Can you really live well in Panama on Social Security?
In this video, you’ll meet Randy, who lives in Los Algarrobos, Panama — a quiet community 10 minutes north of David. Randy rents a 3-bedroom, 2-bath house for only $450 a month, and his electric bill is about $50 a month.
He lives on less than his $1,400 Social Security check and says his lifestyle has actually improved since moving to Panama. Why? Because so many everyday expenses are much more affordable, including rent, food, activities, and medical care.
Randy shares what real life is like in Panama, including:
✅ His $450/month rental house
✅ A 50-cent emergency room visit
✅ Playing pickleball and staying active
✅ Buying meats, fruits, and vegetables for a fraction of U.S. prices
✅ How he lives comfortably on Social Security
✅ Why Panama has helped him upgrade his lifestyle without increasing his budget
If you’re wondering whether you can afford to retire in Panama, Randy’s story will give you a real boots-on-the-ground look at what’s possible.
