Millions of Americans have a monthly income of 800 to 1000 US dollars, some will consider living overseas. The most important question is what will be the cost of shelter and food. While there are uncountable answers to cost of apartments/houses/rooms and also on the cost of food, for as hard as they try most answers are from a low to a high cost, leaving the questioner in a "not sure how much it will cost".
Is there any organization of any stripe that tries to place expats with Vietnamese families who would rent a room plus share their meals for a few hundred dollars per month?
Is it possible for an expat to find such a family for a monthly sum of $300 to $500?
That would leave an expat with $500 per month for everything else.
All critical responses appreciated especially the constructive negative criticism
