I found that number to be pretty depressing. I think I could get somewhere pretty close to that, here in North Carolina, USA.


In the original post the point was raised that at that cost of living you don't have to lift a finger. All your cleaning, laundry, and cooking are done by others.

It's trivially easy to find a really nice space to rent in the USA for $500 or so. The catch is you'll still be doing all your own cooking and cleaning. And you'll be surrounded by hicks.


I think your hicks comment is unnecessary and incorrect, but otherwise, this is a good point.
