    Many of the southern and central US states with low cost of living, like Alabama, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, etc. You’re not going to be rich, but you could afford housing, food, and other basic necessities.

    An equivalent yearly salary in SF, for example, is $45-56k/year (cost of living calculator), or $22-28/hr. You certainly couldn’t survive on $12-15/hr in SF, but $22-28 might be doable.

    Calculations assume 8 hours/day and 250 work days per year.
