A lot of people assume you need thousands per month to live well abroad but in reality, location choice matters more than income level. Here are 4 places where ~$1,500/month can realistically cover rent, food, transport, and a good lifestyle — if you live like a local: • 🇬🇪 Georgia – Low rent, cheap eating out, and generous tax rules for foreign income • 🇻🇳 Vietnam – Modern apartments, excellent food, and low daily expenses • 🇲🇽 Mexico (non-tourist cities) – Strong healthcare, affordable rent, great quality of life • 🇮🇩 Indonesia (outside Bali hotspots) – Slower pace, lower rents, still very liveable ⚠️ The key isn’t the country alone — it’s which city, which visa, and whether you trigger tax residency. Inside Horizon Society, we break these down by:• Real monthly budgets• Visa options that actually work• Mistakes that quietly blow the budget 💬 Question for you:Would you rather live very comfortably abroad on $1,500/month — or earn more but spend most of it at home?
