Someone else mentioned it, but you should think about coming to Alberta. You can make 2-3 times that much here for less work than what you've described. Might be a few hoops, but definitely not impossible.

Yeah, I started beating the "come to Calgary" drum the last time he said he was managing a hotel for $12/hr as I was blown away.
But once he started going through his personal life where he lives, I understood. Basically he's got a huge house on an acreage, an absolutely gorgeous property (post pics again if you feel like it PIMKing) and pays next to nothing.
Basically it boiled down to his cost of living being very minimal down there, due to the area itself and his own personal situation vs coming to Calgary and starting fresh with tiny starter homes on almost no land coming in around the $400k mark.
