As noted by other writers, lifestyle dictates how far your dollars
will go. By way of comparison, local minimum wage is somewhere
around $125 US a month and people do get by but usually with more
than one person in the household working. While cost of living
continues to climb it is still a very inexpensive place to live.
If the information at the http://www.honduranlaw.com/ site is still
accurate, the "Pensionado" residency category is available for
individuals who have a pension-type income (permanent, from a
government or financial institution, or business pension fund) of at
least $1,500 a month.
I have no experience in the Tela area, but I have found La Ceiba a
very walkable town and taxis around town are just less than a $1 a
trip. You really do not need a car. There are internet cafe's on
virtually every block. A pack of cigarettes or a beer just a bit
more that a $1 (that's retail on the beer, by the case less than 1/2
that). My priorities may be a bit mixed up, but everyone has their
own yardstick for measuring cost of living.
Further down I believe you will find a post by "la Gringa" with some
more prices around La Ceiba. Her information is always reliable.
