wow whata question!
a bit more effort and detail would be nice.
how do you want to live: like a local or same style as in your home country.
one thing for sure: don't underestimate....lots of people have done so and they had to move on.

Thanks for the clarity.....

We have a good idea of housing and associated sustainability..  but need basic cost for utilities  (power, water, data, satellite,etc), food cost for two (assuming we do not eat out), housekeeper, compact auto and fuel.

Another approach is to illustrate an estimated budget we created to validate

Let                             40000
HOA                             0
Utility                       2400
Data                         400
Voice                       1800
Housekeeper               6000
Auto Expense               6000
Fuel                                 800
Food                       4000
Tax                             1000
Property Insurance       1800
Auto Insurance       1200
Health Insurance        6000
                          $71,400
