Which country and what do you classify as "low-income"? I live in Florida a couple of miles from the beach in a condo I bought in the bottom of the market. Total monthly bills are around $600 and that includes electricity, internet, mortgage, hoa fee, and groceries. Also, it's in a nice part of town within walking distance to the nearest Starbucks (for what that's worth).

Did you post this just to brag and justify your life choices at the same time? What are you trying to prove here anon?

Problem is rural salaries are so fucking low right now. I live in the boston area and was trying to move west and the best offer I got was for literally less than half my current salary in the city. I also was paying $700/m in rent a year ago before I bought a house. My commute was 45min but to be able to essentially save 3-4times the amount of money you don't have a choice. With everyone moving to cities its getting crowded so you just have to pay out the ass or commute.

Not bragging at all so don't take it that way. I'm genuinely curious since I kind of have a thing for optimizing lifestyle/capital outlay. I've obviously found a pretty good balance here but I also have a bit of wanderlust so I'm always open to alternatives. I've thought about eastern Europe but the crime rate concerns me. I've also thought about Costa Rica and Southeast Asia. So since we're on the subject, I thought I'd give my current circumstances as some context for the question of what qualifies as low cost of living elsewhere as that low cost of living obviously implies first world amenities or a decent approximation which isn't an issue where I am now. Feel me?

600 USD/month seems quite sweet for 'murrica - I'm assuming you make at least 2 500 USD/month? In any case, these 600 bucks would carry you quite far in, let's say, Chiang Mai or Cluj-Napoca.

You have security concerns over eastern yurope - well as someone born there I can say it's safer than most american cities (EU member state tho).

Relevant question: Do you get laid? If not, you should pack your bags and head to SEA asap.

Just imagine when the housing bubble pops again. Its gonna be like 08 again. We will enter another recession. QE money printing will be done to bail out the banks and rob people again. Auto loan and student loan bubbles will pop as well. All at the same time too. Mama mia!
