Want To Get Away?

Maxim tells you six places you can live well on a pittance.

Apparently you can spend a year on Tonga for like, seven bucks.

No driver’s license? Who gives a shit? You’re in Tonga! In an effort to kick-start their typically craptastic island economy, the government lures capital investment by offering foreign devils 15-year tax exemptions to set up shop.

I can live with that. Can't buy land anyway, fuck do I care whether its because I'm white or because I'm a woman. And as highly educated as the people are said to be, I'm pretty sure I could be a doctor on their island.
So Tonga looks pretty nice. Even if I look like pasty shit next to the beautiful polynesian natives. Wait, no.
Ok. That's a dealbreaker, right there.
I need to find a place with ugly people.

The Ecuadoran economy is so firmly ensconced in the shitter that the government scrapped its local currency for the U.S. dollar six years ago. Fifteen bucks a day keeps you housed and fed and puts the Andes in your backyard.

The other entries are pretty good too.
