Quality Living
Where in the world is the lowest cost of living, and highest quality of living?
Where in the world can one live and get a great bang for the buck while still realizing a good quality of living.
Countries with a high degree of income inequality and a moderate to high GDP per capita usually provides what you are looking for. The good quality of living is there for the well off and the plentiful supply of cheap labor makes for a low cost of living.
The US is increasing becoming such a country, especially if you avoid large cities and high poverty areas, so I would check out places like Daytona Beach FL .

Here is a list of countries by income inequality. The most unequal countries tend to be in Africa and South/Central America, but most of the African ones are too poor.
