If you make $2,000 USD a month I think the worst thing you could do would be to move to a very developed country, since you will barely be able to survive on that income.

Consider moving to a developing but decent quality of life country where USD is strong. Thailand, Malaysia, Turkey, Argentina, etc.

I can vouch for that. Born and raised in Malaysia and living in Australia. With USD2K in Malaysia you can easily live a comfortable, with free healthcare, safe and decent life if you can ignore the institutionalized racism towards dark skinned people. Plus an environment very conducive to running a business. In Australia USD2K is peanuts. You will struggle to survive on that amount BUT on the other hand there is good social security and decency still means something(for how long more I have no idea).
