I would not recommend moving out of first world... unless one is prepared to have their world-view shaken. It might be a good experience, but living in bad place is not a way to save money...
I just think you are being overly negative at the moment... it is alright to feel that for a bit, but not to dwell in it. **** happens, and one has to deal with somehow. It's okay to feel bitter and down about it, but it will not solve anything. One needs to mourn for a bit and then go and live.
This is meant to be encouraging... as I do believe we humans are hella resielent species.

I live in Silicon Valley, and $1400 does not cover the rent for a one-bedroom apartment. But as mentioned here, there are other places in the US that are much, much cheaper. I will need to move. This gives me hope. Now I will need to live off credit cards until I get disability. Now I worry that I will not get disability and will become homeless. And I cannot forget that I used to have every opportunity to live comfortably, and had I cared to find the medications mix that I am on now 5, 10 years ago, I would not need to worry about homelessness now. That hurts.
