Place suggestions for living below 10k (alien.top)

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

Is this per year or per month? If it's per year, then there's one way to do that, but it may require additional capital.

Let's say you have US$150k lying around. You may be able to purchase a property in Germany or France for 30-50k in a rural area, still have high speed internet and spend around 1K/mo on groceries and travel. It's doable. After the term, sell the property and maybe make (or lose) some funds on the transaction fees and real estate price change.

If you're really into it, you can buy a small property and homestead, grow your own veggies etc and even sell them at farmers markets.

It is doable, but not probable.

People who say there are no apartments under 50k, here's a link.
