although these articles state the best places to "retire", you can also read into them as the best places to live overseas inexpensively. my BF and I are sick of the high cost of living in the U.S. he can fly free anywhere (airline job, but flying overseas there are some fees and tariffs), so we're planning to check out some places outside the U.S. this year. Ecuador is on the list.
