My question is whether there's any place on earth where $1500/week could allow five roommates to live very comfortably--perhaps not as boss-like as I described above, but maybe at least the big house and property.
There are places in the world where life could be really cheap and one could build a haven put of the little plunder from campaigns here in the forum. I won't point to any nation in particular but, if I were to make an analysis based on my nation Nigeria, when we talk about living an average lifestyle, its possible.
Nigeria is a rich nation and like every other Africans, we believe very much in spending money and living out the good just to ensure we pay less attention to our government. The average Nigeria would like to spend most of his or her money on food, drinks, cloths and entertainment in the likes of musics/concerts, a few cars and maybe a good home. Not a Palace or castle per say but, just a normal bungalow with at least 3 bedrooms. Lest say, you have all these covered @House and Cars. Looking at the daily lifestyle of a Nigerian, earning a much as $1500/W, your daily spendable analysis would be some worth as these;
One commodity that is sure to such up your finances is the cost of petrol and that comes into play when your not living in a government residential area.
Petrol cost as much as #200 = $0.37 per litre and as such, 40litres should be enough to fuel your electrical generator and maybe your car for a day which could amount to $15.
On food, Kilimajaro is one of the best restaurants and brands around. An average meal, let's say a plat of rice and chicken, with salad and a litre of yoghurt would cost about, #4000 = $7.12. This could be relative to cover for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Hence, your more likely to spend $21.36 on food daily.
Looking at cloths, it varies depending on what you want and as a classic man with style. I can estimate on this but, it could plunder a lot into your earnings and cloths isn't something you buy everyday.
Although, you could do your laundry as low as #500 = $0.98 per clothen article.
Drinks are variable and largely based on brands. Wines and most of the bar drinks are imported and as such, the price is relative except with a slight increase. Let's say, a 10-20% increase.
I can't accurately give a complete stats on this but, life could be fair for a campaign participant earning as much as $1500/W. One thing that makes life for an average Nigerian is trying to live upto the life's of the celebrities and billionaires around, trying to go with the trend but, setting that aside, you could live okay.
The minimum wage is barely #30,000 = $52.35 and that's on a monthly bases. It's really challenging for the few living on that but on a ground scale of $1500/W, your sure to live okay and like a King of your own domain.
Mainly, the part to getting a Nigerian citizenship is by having blood ties to a Nigerian and possibly marriage but other means could be found here :

For what is worth, life isn't that easy in Nigeria but with a constant source of income and depending on how weighty it is, Nigeria becomes a very enjoyable country.
