I'm searching for paradise, please help me find my new home.

Mars , j/k try the Phillipines or Thailand/vietnam places where u could live like royalty w/ USgreenbacks

Maybe the Dominican Republic? Or small islands like Vanuatu (I heard about a guy who wanted to move there once), or Rodrigues?

You would need a lot more then $400 a month to live and maintain a decent life style here in the Dominican Republic.

Crete, or some other place south of grece?

Statigar, paradise is relative, and to find your paradise which would allow you to live on $200-300 a month ( not an easy task) you'd have to seriously go native = learn a native language and live like  rather poor natives live. Islands, especially small or remote, are usually more expensive than larger territories, because most of the things needs to be brough there at  extra expense, in many cases even most of foodstuffs and not only industrial goods. How amout making and experiment: go to Borders or Barnes and Noble,  look through as many Lonely Planets guidebooks as you can and find out (since they are traditionally geared towards backpackers, who want to stretch their money to be on the road as long as possible, they have a budget cost section for practically every destination) what the budget cost would be. If it is $10 a day, you might be able to make it, because you won't have some of the expenses that travelers do, but will have some other (health care, etc.)  And then find out if they will let you live there as a resident: Malasia, an otherwise not expensive country don't want residents with less income than $1800 a month, so watch out for those "pesky" regulations!
