Any of you managed to find a place that has living costs about $10-$15k or lower? I’m looking for a place where:
- Preferably English speaking or easy to navigate for an English speaker
- High-speed internet (and very very reliable electricity/networking services)
- Vegetarian-friendly
- Progressive society (places like Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, North Korea etc. would be out of question)
Within 2 years or so my financial situation would be much better but I just want to get out of the shithole I live in asap. Would love to hear suggestions from people who actually managed to find such place
I’m not sure why so many people are saying it’s impossible, you can definitely live on $1k a month in many places around the world, it just depends on what kind of lifestyle you’re comfortable with.
If you don’t mind living in a shared flat or studio apartment, eating only local food or cooking at home, never really travelling, and foregoing any luxuries you can totally live on that amount.
Some places that spring to mind are Thailand, Vietnam, the Phillippines, and Sri Lanka. Hell, you could probably make it work in some parts of Eastern Europe like Albania.
I guess it does depend on your definition of “easy to navigate for an English speaker”… if you’re looking for a place with English as a native language, or Northern European levels of English, then yeah you’re shit out of luck.
