A blog post from a married couple living in Phnom Penh:

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.

Google Translate anyone?

$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.
