Guayaquil Cost of Living

We don’t know exactly where this idea comes about living in Ecuador is expensive and not profitable, ‘cause we are dolarized, if so, then why there’re still so many Colombians, Peruvians, Cubans, and now most of all, so many but SO MANY Venezuelans, who come to live in our city, our country, and one way or another, even though they come to earn minimum wages, still have enough money left to send to their countries?
If that is as expensive is Ecuador as I read, then what do you do coming to live so many foreigners to our country?
For those who are from those countries, or who know the prices of these, here we leave a reference’s list of the average prices of variety of things of daily consumption in Guayaquil – Ecuador.
We’ll appreciate your comments at the end of the post.
