After losing my savings as an indie hacker, I can't do it anymore. I quit.

>relocating to a third-world country

There is a large part of Europe (and I'm sure the US) where the standard of living is decent and you can easily get by on <15k€/year.

Even in a lot of Germany you can live on less than 15k€/year, just not very comfortably. In Eastern Europe a frugal person can probably live on a lot less.

Average gross salary in Poland is ~$1400 if you are looking for options. But please do some research before relocating, current political climate is one of the reasons why I'm not really considering moving back there...

As much as I would like to relocate to Europe, I don't have a Shengen passport and I would prefer to avoid the kind of region-hopping one needs to do to live long-term on a tourist visa.

Right now I have my eye on either Latin America, rural Northern California, or Nevada. Humboldt area is very cheap right now, I am seeing 2br houses renting for $1000 and studio apartments for 3/4 that in Eureka (which isn't all that bad; I just visited)

Yup, those places are potential options. I try to use my travel time to scout places like these out
