13. Penang, Malaysia
If you’re not particularly interested in living in North or Central America, check out Malaysia. Penang is another beautiful historic city on the beach. Renting a furnished apartment or even a house is very reasonable. The cost of other goods and services is also quite affordable as well. For instance, local markets sell just about any type of food item you could want at very low price. Hiring a housekeeper to come in each week will run just about $60 for the whole month.
The cost of healthcare in Malaysia is also very cheap and it is very efficient. The quality is apparently quite good also. Getting to live in a beautiful country with a beautiful history and tradition that is safe and on the water is unattainable for most. But for just about $2,000 a month, it can be all yours.
