<prompt> Human: Im currently living in nyc and renting for 3200month, and living expenses are pretty high here. Health insurance is running me another 600month. I am currently unemployed and trying to build a youtube following by creating entertaining educational content on interesting topics that arent covered by most mainstream channels. I have investments of over 1 million usd, which have been making 70-80k annually. I have an engineering degree, I worked in the industry for 9 years and left on my own termsdecision I was not let gofired. NYC was great, but while Im trying to find my next career fit, I want to lower my cost of living, but still be able to enjoy myself. Its really hard to enjoy yourself in manhattan unless youre making at least 15-20kmonth. Which I am not. I also dont think I want a regular job right now, as I would rather spend my time on exercise, learning, writing, and producing these videos. If any of you have suggestions or experiences, or think I am a complete dumbass, I would love to hear from you.  <response>: If you move to a much cheaper cost of living area, then you would be able to not work and not have to even worry if your youtube venture doesnt make any money.Boise, Idaho is still pretty low cost, but with still larger city amenities. Lots of nature around for outdoor activities. There are plenty of smaller cities like that around the US with similar low cost and city activity advantages.Outside of the US, plenty of people move to places like Cuenca, Ecuador or Chiang Mai, Thailand for their low cost of living, varied city life, and ability to have new adventures and explore other cultures.So a little more information on what you would be looking for would help narrow things down. The world is big and full of places you could pursue your passions without having to have a regular job with the money you have invested.
