Cambodia
Cambodia may not be the first country that comes to mind when you think of a tropical paradise, but it's pretty close.The added bonus is that living here is insanely cheap, unlike some other tropical getaways.A luxury home with four bedrooms and a pool would only cost about $600 a month.A decent three bedroom vacation home can be purchased here for just $20，000.And, for only about $2，000 a year, you can also hire a gardener and housekeeper to take care of your property.
Ecuador
Ecuador is similar to the United States in many ways, and as a result, it has become a popular American getaway.They even use the US Dollar for their currency.In this country, it's cheaper to eat out everyday than cook for yourself on a budget in the U．S.You can even buy a property for around 50，000 and hire someone to tend to it while you're away.
Mexico
Although the country is known for its poverty ridden streets, there are many wealthier areas that provide every amenity (便利设施) you might need.You can live off a mere $700 a month in Mexico, and this includes rent for a nice place, amenities, food, and any sightseeing.
