A lot of it depends on giving up various luxuries, and realizing that you don't have to have everything. I live in Flint, MI, and I'm paying $375 a month rent for a three bedroom house. Will be moving shortly, a block away, to buy a house that is seller financed on land contract for $375 a month. With utilities and food and such, I live on less than $800 a month. You just have to know how to do cheap, be willing to live in the not-ritzy areas, and not be focused on brand names and having it all.

It's great to have some cofirmation on the cheapness from a real Topekan.... My estimates were all based on research so could not confirm them for sure. @ Jenni, Thanks for the tip offs.... I found many cheap places through the US and had to target one for this post... There are so many REALLY cheap places to lie outside of the US but often they are low in the earnings potential too. @ Susan, thank you so so much for the comment… It’s great to have some cofirmation on the cheapness from a real Topekan….

I was impressed. I'm American but now live in Cabo San Lucas, where I moved from Puerto Vallarta. In Cabo, we actually bought a villa and rentals are quite pricey but in Puerto Vallarta- very nice condos for $400 a month and up, just a few blocks from the beach. Food and utilities are next to nothing. $30 dollars a week will fill your fridge for 2 ppl. Inland rentals (by inland, i mean still walking distance to the beach) start at $200 and go up. Then, as an expat there are numerous tax benefits (great for bloggers and web publishers such as myself.) On $850 a month, you could live a near-lavish lifestyle!
