HI,

It all depends on where you will be living and how frugal you are.聽 I live in a rural area where it can be very inexpensive to live, but then i also have a car so insurance, registration, inspections, fuel add up.聽聽Before we bought our house, we were renting a 3-bedroom home for $300 per month, plus utilities which are pretty cheap as well.聽 As long as you go to the weekly markets, you can save a bit on the cost if veggies and fruit.聽
So, if you dont have a car, you can use cheap taxis or walk, depending in whetr you work/live.聽 You can check online for apartment costs in the cities if that's where you will be.聽 That will be your most significant cost.聽 I hope you can find something that works for you!
Best of luck to you.

As my Moroccan brother says it "you can live like a small king聽 on $15000 MAD a month",聽 if you own your car and house. Inchallah, I plan to retire in Morocco some day. Even though you're going to be there for a short time, $1500 should be enough to live comfortable.

Thanks Yahya for those kind words. I prefer to be a commoner and聽 fall for luxury聽 but quality.
i love bargaining and don't drink or smoke .
i'm a foodie and can spend money to taste that fish and lamb spicey cuisines.聽 Hope we meet there some day.
