You could go to the Cook Islands and live way cheaper Easier said than done.It's not like you can just pack up and move to the South Pacific.Unless you have a highly specialized skill that no locals can fulfill, or have LOTS of money, then it is basically impossible.( I know first hand, I have lived in Tahiti, Fiji and Samoa amoung other places.)The Cook islands are ESPECIALLY strict.You are supposed to have Hotel accomodations before even entering the country.And they keep tabs on tourists big time.If you overstay your welcome, they WILL track you down, and then bar you from the country for 5-10 years.
