all these cities only include the USA. If you're looking to cheap places to live, try china or the manila, I'm sure the cia world factbook can help too. I think you can buy a small condo in china for like 30K usd.

I think the Author should be forced to live in North Dakota for a while. See how much he likes his broadband when he is so snowed in nobody can fix the line that went down because of frost.

For those of you who are really not afraid to "get out of the loop" like the article mentions, do something really silly like me...I have quit my nice comfy job and moved to China, where I am living and training at a kung fu school. Cost of living here is so cheap, it means that I get all my instruction, food, a private room with A/C and high speed internet for about $350/month. When not training, I am working web development stuff that I had started from before I came, which as others have described, nets you a very high net income percentage. My investment account is happy.On the downside, I just got out of the hospital yesterday for food poisoning, and haven't eaten for 3 days, one of the obvious hazards of living so cheaply. But it's all worth it, even just to have a better story to tell the grandkids than "working in an office for 35 years..."

HaHa, Oxford MS. If your up for 14,000 aspiring assh**es, and 2hours away from any form of civilization, that is a great place.
