Cost of living in the country you live in?
Hello guys.
For months now,I have this thought in my head of leaving Greece and move to another country.
I reached my limits working like a slave in Greece and just surviving and I feel ready to make the next step.
I am not talking about England or France or other expensive countries(unless I have a very good job offer) in Europe,I am talking about countiers where the cost of living is really low but in the same time you are not afraid to get shot or get kidnapped for your kidneys lol.
I have already checked Expatistan and similar sites but I believe I can find much more help in here.
I was thinking some African or Asian countries but since the Steem blockchain has users from all over the world,why don't you enlighten me with your country's expenses in USD? (rent,cost of electricity,cost of food etc.)
Thank you all in advance cause this is a hard time for me to decide what am I gonna do with my life from now on.
Steeming for a living?
Let's see.

I moved to northern Peru, because like yourself I was working like a dog to just survive. I love Florida and The United States but I don't like living there full time anymore. I will never give up my citizenship but I am working on having dual citizenship at the moment.
My monthly rent in Lobitos, Peru is $100 per month. Food is really inexpensive and fresh. The nearest fast food place is three hours away....so as I said the food here is fresh, healthy, and inexpensive. For my weeks worth of food at the grocery store my cost is about $50. That cost includes three meals a day. You can head out to a restaurant and have dinner, a couple of beers, and desert for about $8. I have two roommates and we use a lot of electricity per month which averages $25, which is the whole bill.
The cost of living is very cheap but you need to have a niche in order to make some money to survive. This is why I built a hotel from the ground up. My first floor is now done and I have renters in there right now...so I am making a little cash even while I am here in Florida. I am now also bringing back some fishing kayaks to start a boating tour of the area I live in Peru.
This year I am also starting construction on the second floor of my hotel. This is going to be my restaurant and bar.
It has not been easy transitioning my life from The United States to South America, but I am now starting to reap the rewards. My stress level has gone way down, I have lost 50 pounds of fat off of my body just from my new lifestyle and the food I eat, and I actually have time to go out and enjoy some life instead of working all day and heading home to go to sleep and repeat.
Just remember that achieving your dreams is not an easy task, but in the long run you will be happy to have chased it. Good luck my friend and I hope you find your happy place.
By the way they even have skate parks here in Peru and you can street skate wherever you like. Have a great day my friend and enjoy.
Thank you so much for the information bro,that's a comment I want to ready in this post.
I was thinking about North American countries like Peru,Mexico etc.
How is the ciminalit and the people there?Racism?
Cause I am a white redhead bro.
So the rent for a cozy house for 3 is 300.That's not bad at all.
I mean if I come to Peru with 3000 euros in my pocket I am gonna be fine for some months.
Are you working at the moment?Are there any jobs for foreigners like me?How about the laguage?Is there a problem if I dont' know how to speak Spanish?(I think people in Peru speaks Spanish right?)
Thank you in regards bro.Such an awesome and motivating comment.
I don't need votes guys,I need answers

Σου απανταω στα Ελληνικα γιατι βαριεμαι να μεταφραζω και σορρυ για την καθυστερηση.
Το βασικο ερωτημα ειναι τι "δουλεια" θα κανεις εκει που θα πας.
Σκεφτεσαι να δουλεψεις στο αντικειμενο σου? Τοτε μαλλον θα πρεπει να σκεφτεις μια δυτικη χωρα, αν και δεν ξερω κατα ποσο ειναι εφικτο να βρεις δουλεια χωρις μαστερ.
Ισως να σκεφτεις την Αθηνα. Ναι, το κοστος ειναι υψηλοτερο, αλλα οι ευκαιρειες ειναι και πολυ περισσοτερες και εδω ειναι πιθανο να βρεις δουλεια.
Αν θες να ακολουθησεις τον δρομο του "online business/digital nomad" η ΝΑ Ασια ειναι το μερος να εισαι γιατι υπαρχει μια πολυ ανεπτυγμενη κοινοτητα σε πολεις οπως η Τζιανγκ Μαι ή η Σαιγκον. Απλα να σε ενημερωσω οτι απο ολους αυτους εκει πολλοι λιγοι βγαζουν λεφτα και οι περισσοτεροι απλα πουλανε μουρη.
Αν εχεις αποριες στην διαθεση σου.
Σε ευχαριστω Ηλια.Παντα δινεις πολυ σωστες απαντησεις.
Θα σκευτω τι θα κανω,ειμαι πολυ μπερδεμενος αυτην την περιοδο της ζωης μου.
Το digital-nomad θα προτιμούσα,αλλα ακομα δεν ειμαι σε επιπεδο(ειδικα εδω μεσα) για να μπορω να ζησω μόνο απο τις online business.
Σκευτομουνα και την Λατινικη Αμερικη.Ειδα πολλες χωρες με πολυ χαμηλο κοστος ζωης και πολυ υψηλο επιπεδο ζωης παραλληλα.
Σε ευχαριστω για τον χρονο σου φιλε μου.
Εγω ειμαι Πολιτικος Μηχανικος . Αμα θες να σου πω μερικα πραγματα ακομα στειλε μυνημα .
Καλη συνεχεια.
Έγινε φίλε μου και σε ευχαριστώ πολύ για το ενδιαφέρον που δείχνεις στους προβληματισμούς μου.
Εισαι ωραίος.
