My cost of living, after currency conversion and unit conversion, is somewhere in the ballpark of "half" on this remote island in the south Pacific.
Healthcare - 0
Car insurance - $8us per month
Utility rates - around 25% lower than in a coal burning Midwest state
Actual utility usage - considerably lower, due to mild climate
Food - lower, but varies
Transportation - Drastically lower, despite fuel prices, due to structural/social factors
Rent - lower in the capital city than in Detroit suburbs
Etc etc
