From CNBC Make It.

Ashley Peters, 23, left California for Japan and can finally afford to live alone. She pays $483/month for her apartment outside Tokyo, earns her income through freelance social media and digital marketing work, and now spends freely on sushi, 7/11 konbini meals and daily life without stressing over rent.
