This video takes a realistic, side-by-side look at how much it costs to live in the Dominican Republic versus the United States. I share my personal spending habits, monthly expenses, and what daily life really looks like in both countries — from rent and gas prices to food and utilities. It’s not just numbers; it’s about lifestyle, priorities, and understanding what “cheap” or “comfortable” really means depending on where you live.
