Nassau - Post Report Question and Answers
Can you save money?
No. The extra costs here exceed the COLA, and there is no differential in spite of the critical crime threat. No R&R and high plane ticket prices to go even to Florida (yet, sanity requires occasional trips.) - Nov 2015
It is difficult to save money here if you aren't naturally inclined to do so, especially if you want to travel around the islands and enjoy the experiences. - Jun 2015
Yes but not lot. The COLA is appropriate for the high cost of food and other goods but without any hardship or danger pay, don't expect to save a lot. - May 2015
We managed to save quite a bit, but we don't go out all of the time. A family with several kids might have a tough go out of saving money. - Jan 2011
No, it is very expensive to live here. - Mar 2010
Only if you stay home and don't talk to anyone. Even then the grocery and pay-per-view bills will get to you. There is no escape. - Feb 2009
Yes if you don't participate in local activities or eat out much. - Dec 2008
