How a Programmer Gets By On $16K/Yr: He Moves to Malaysia

Posted by timothy on from the wouldn't-be-for-everyone dept.

An anonymous reader writes "If you can make $10 and hour doing remote work, you can afford to live in Malysia. Make it $15 or $20, you can work 30 hours a week. Real money? Make it ten. This article talks about how John Hunter did it." Malaysia's not the only destination for self-motivated ex-pat programmers, of course. If you've considered doing this kind of sabbatical, or actually have, please explain in the comments the from-where-to-where details and reasons.

    Ok let's test you theory:

    Nicely done. Your rigorous analysis sure proved him wrong.

    It takes skill, hard work, ruthless ambition and extreme good luck to get rich and stay there.

    Is it okay if we use your method on your own theory?
    Paris Hilton - nope
    George Bush - nope
