Any of you managed to find a place that has living costs about $10-$15k or lower? I'm looking for a place where:

Preferably English speaking or easy to navigate for an English speaker
High-speed internet (and very very reliable electricity/networking services)
Vegetarian-friendly
Progressive society (places like Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, North Korea etc. would be out of question)

Within 2 years or so my financial situation would be much better but I just want to get out of the shithole I live in asap. Would love to hear suggestions from people who actually managed to find such place

In some parts of South Africa you could get by on that amount (assuming we're talking $10-15k a year), but electricity is not reliable and safety can be a concern.

For example, Cape Town is English-speaking, has good internet, is very vegetarian friendly, and is progressive (it's sometimes called the "gay capital of Africa"). However, there are daily power outages and safety can be an issue depending on the suburb you choose.
