Assuming a person can earn a living with his website, where should he live? I'm curious about recommendations for one, the U.S. and two, other parts of the world for an English speaker.
Frugal people exercise to keep health care costs down. So they want access to a nearby fitness gym. Apartment complexes with a gym usually cost more than those without. But some complexes are near a YMCA or standard public gym. Living in a crime-ridden place is just a bad idea if it can be avoided. I envision living in certain places with no car and just walking to the gym. All some people need is Internet access to keep their income going. What suggestions do you have on where to live?
It depends upon what you are blogging about. Do you need fodder for the blog? Are there things you need to see or experience to add to your blog?
Frugal people who exercise often do not pay for a gym.
Low cost places to live most likely do not have a transportation system so good that you won't need a car.
Low cost places to live sometimes offer good internet and sometimes they don't.
Try Montevideo, Uruguay. Good transportation system, good internet, lots of lively things to do, and if you stay back from the beach, housing is inexpensive. The local population is accustomed to living without a car. The only major internet site about moving to Uruguay is down and won't come back, due to the death of the website owner.
Big benefit, health care is excellent and inexpensive.
Check out housing options on buscandocasa. Rentals and for sale are both listed.

In the US? I'd look at any 4-year college town with a population between 50,000-150,000.
Get a Dodge Sprinter van, fix it up, and live there.
These vans are terrible with their Mercedes powertrain, which = lotsa expensive problems.

But for winter this year I went to the Philippines. They speak English here very well, and you can rent a condo for 15,000+ pesos and up. I recently paid 23,000 pesos per month all utilities included at SM Sta Mesa Manila - 1 bdr condo. And the SM Mall was a walk across the street plus the SM Supermarket was within the condo complex.
Check out the Philippines to hang out with your internet business, as long as you don't use too much data bandwith. Because the internet in the Philippines has data caps and is a little bit suffering!
I also go to Trinoma for very fast internet, while I can eat a good 2 pc BBQ Pork Chops with 2 rice and egg for 149 pesos. Yum yum!
For exercise, I bike around rather than take a taxi. But jeepneys are cheap 7 peso rides if you know use them. Make sure you bring a ULock from USA because they hardly sell bike ULocks here.

I would think a frugal person would forego the expense of a gym in favor of running, walking, and calisthenics.
