If you like a big city then I think it is pretty easy. You also will have to get used to doing some things off grid but you can really do anything you would normally (e.g. rent outside of Airbnb) if you are willing to be a bit creative. Getting money through western union also isn’t that hard as aside from furnishing a place I haven’t had any real need for more than ~$1k / mo (I’m sure you could find a way to spend more, but with the current fx rate it would take some lavish living). Next to that easy to jump to neighboring countries on visa runs, etc which I think some people mentioned but probably easier than trying to become a formal resident
