better living for less.
Cost of living is one thing, for the locals its far from cheap if living in the cities where property prices and rent are comparatively high. The villages are a much more affordable option, much produce is available from the locl community, markets and your own production. If you have a Western income or are looking to retire then Bulgaria is a great option.
