Uruguay is a developed country and quite expensive by Latin American standards.  Most people are considered middle class, however the majority cannot afford a car or to consider buying a home until they are well into their thirties. Public transport and bicycles are popular modes of transport generally out of necessity, not choice. It’s not easy to find well-paying employment.

Most people make ends meet by living in extended families, and eating out rarely. However if your income is in US dollars it’s possible to live comfortably depending on your living standards.
