I live in a diving community in the Philippines. My rent, electric, cable and internet are under $400 a month. I have an ocean/sunset view and aircon. 1000 square feet studio with separate, kitchen, bathroom, hot water with a great porch to watch the sunsets.
I spend $10-$15 daily and usually win that much playing billiards against tourists.
It can be done. (Many tourists are white women!)
