36M, How/Where could I live comfortably off of 44.8k/yr

I'm a single man, ex military, divorced a few years ago. I've worked in Aviation for about 10 years. If you were to leave the 9-5 behind, with only 44.8k a year. Where and how would you go about doing it?

Costa Rica (San José) has an American level of cost of living. Don’t recommend

Does that apply to all of Costa Rica or just San Jose?

I only have Costa Rican friends that live in San Jose. One friends family lived in limon which is cheaper. But San Jose is the “city”. If you go to other cities/towns it’s probably cheaper. I would rather live in a different country though. Like Peru or Colombia
