A blog post from a married couple living in Phnom Penh:
"This is a guest post from Jen Joslin, best known for her blog http://www.twocantravel.com. She lives in Phnom Penh, Cambodia with her husband, stand-up comedian Stevo Joslin. They have been living and traveling in Asia together since 2011, and have been living in Phnom Penh, Cambodia since 2015. Jen works as a first grade teacher at a small international school. When he’s not on stage, Stevo dabbles in curriculum consulting, teaches swimming, and does English tutoring. Combined they earn less than $35,000 USD per year, yet this is the happiest they’ve ever been; both pursuing their passions while enjoying the pleasures of daily life in Phnom Penh.
Phnom Penh is at that sweet spot of development for expat living. An influx of foreign investment in recent years has meant more businesses, amenities and quality international schools geared toward foreigners.

Gentrification... Yeah, saw that blog entry in my Facebook feed a few days ago but couldn't bring myself click on it as I knew it would likely annoy me. I can see the charm and confort that all these coffee shops and fast food chains bring to some, but they're certainly not attracting the kind of people I find interesting. Not talking about them in particular, but more generally speaking.

$35000; life on the cheap? If you can't live like a king here for half of that money, you're a total idiot. Anyway, life is not an economy run.

...Combined they earn less than $35,000 USD per year,
$3,000/month for two is not exactly living on the cheap
