I was not aware Slovakia was a 3rd world country?

lots of people go to thailand

you might already be aware of it but http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/ is a good rough guide for what various things cost in other countries, can check specific cities too.

i don't really get how $1k/mo. allows you to move anywhere, it seems like that wouldn't be enough for a lot of places. even in notoriously cheap places like Thailand/Philippines/etc. you can get by on 1k/mo, but would be living pretty modestly.

anyway, putting aside the budget issue you'll probably get better advice if you go into more detail about what kind of stuff you're interested in. i.e. how important is nightlife, outdoor activities, do you want to be near a beach somewhere or someplace more urban, etc. etc.

Yes I've also heard Thailand is the nuts cost of living is retarded cheap I had a buddy move there from Mexico.

How does one get by on $1k a month..........

Korea is a sick country to live in, however, you're only making $1k a month from poker...

I'd suggest moving back home and continuing your career.

Average wage in Romania is something like 300-320 Euros, minimum wage is like 170 (which a lot of people get). And they do manage to live, so 1k is a decent amount to live on, at least around here.

yee when u get better and move up to nl25 you will soon realise poker players have higher expenses man

Basic human instincs. If you acquire more currency, you unconsciously spend more as well (unless you make real effort to control your spending habits).

Estonia is quite english-speaking country.

Yeah guys I am super low mainteance, all I need is rent, food gym bills and that's pretty much it. Don't really spend money for expensive clothes/watches, don't drive and don't have high living standards. Obviously in a new country I'd want to go out and explore the culture too, but pretty much just intend to either grind or get a local job.

You're swede... if u make 1k$/month here you can live a decent life, if you make 4k$/moth you can pretty much live like a baws

Btw I'd move to something like New Zealand or Australia, but i doubt 1k$/month would suffice the costs

also strange with the expenses guys, when I was working in sales I spent fortune on travel, training new guys, more expensive food as you can't cook and have to get what you find e.g. fast food. WIth poker you need... flat food ulility broadband thats all

pretty cool site, compares costs of living

2.5k is going without nice clothes/watches, 1k is more like abject poverty in most modern/western countries. i mean you've been living in the UK, aren't you used to 1k not going that far? not trying to be a dick, just think you should be realistic. if prague gives you the best opportunity to continue your career and make some money i'd go there, plus it seems like a really cool city.

if you still want to find someplace to chill/grind for a few months and are considering places outside of europe i'd go to chiang mai, thailand. it's cheaper than bangkok and the main tourist island spots (phuket/ko phi phi/samui/etc.) and has a really nice laid back vibe, and just a pretty city in general. i spent about 5 months there a few years ago and really enjoyed it. i had a small apartment that was pretty basic but had everything i needed for about $300/month. basically just had the main bedroom area with a writing desk and TV, A/C, a bathroom, and a nice view in a great location. beautiful weather and friendly people, cheap food (especially if you stick to Thai food). i don't even know what broadband costs there because they have internet shops all over that you can use for less than $1/hr so i just used them.

still, i was fairly frugal while there and spent around $1100-1200/mo. 1k is probably reasonable if you just want to set up and grind tho.
