If you're ready to move to frozen salty belt to live bare minimum, why not move to a cheap country, work as English tutor for 10x quality of life?
Don't live in this area, it sucks. You'll have 8 months of miserable, not enjoyable winter with winds and freezing rains, 2 months if suffocating humid summer with mosquitos and ticks, and maybe relatively enjoyable September. Ask me how I know.
