Hello,

I'm a 51-year-old American with a degree and background in journalism, who is sincerely considering a move to Uruguay.

If any readers of this post are affiliated with a language institute, or think they may be aware of information that would prove valuable as I seek potential employment, I would be grateful to hear from you.

Thank you!

Jason

@Yoginee thank you, Yoginee!

@Yoginee

It is really appreciated how the folks at expat.com help with links.  I have benefited from them myself.  Thank you!

I therefore feel a little awkward at pointing out a pointing out a problem with this link here.  These people offer a salary of about USD 800 (UYU 33,000) and claim "Earn a great local salary so you can have a comfortable life in Uruguay".  This really misrepresents the facts.  If you come to Uruguay by yourself (i.e. without a partner) you will not be able to live comfortable with this (even if you include the housing allowance which is another 10% of the salary). 

They pay your flight and pick you up at the airport it seems, but look at it as an opportunity of getting to know the country at a reduced cost instead of living there well on the salary.

Hello armin31,

I therefore feel a little awkward at pointing out a pointing out a problem with this link here.  These people offer a salary of about USD 800 (UYU 33,000) and claim "Earn a great local salary so you can have a comfortable life in Uruguay".  This really misrepresents the facts.  If you come to Uruguay by yourself (i.e. without a partner) you will not be able to live comfortable with this (even if you include the housing allowance which is another 10% of the salary).

Thank you for pointing this out. It is in fact a crucial information that you provided.

Unfortunately, I do not reside in Uruguay so I would not know about the cost of living there. But we are extremely grateful for members like yourself who leave no stone unturned to help other members

Cheers and have a wonderful weekend,

Hello, Yoginee!

We have to make this work together.  The community needs you and without the community the forum has no meaning.

I am very grateful for you providing not only a good technical foundation but also the personal attention.  This is absolutely rare on a forum, but therefore all the more appreciated.

Thank you and all the best to you all!

@armin31 That's interesting when retirees are required to have an income of at least US$1500 per month. My partner and I live comfortably on £1,000 pm (US$1,170-US$1,300 depending on exchange rates) but we pay no rent or mortgage, have solar pv, a borehole and grow some of our own food.
