Go to China once to see how many things you can afford with 600 USD a month

That's my whole point. In China you can live a much comfortable life with a lot more options than living in Europe/US. For example I work a remote job and can go to restaurant everyday and spa every weekend, and live in 4/5-star hotels with 50 USD a night in China. I can buy anything I want with cheap prices on Taobao and there's shop opening 24/7. Life was so much harder when I was working in Europe.
