Moving to Central or South America..for cheap?

I'd like to move to South America for some time.I'm hoping to move somewhere cheap!Any Ideas?
Every website I go to has different prices for the "biggies" (housing, electricity etc..)
One website -"Can rent in San Jose, Costa Rica for as low as $200" -to live comfortably..
Another-"Rent only goes as low as $500"-to live comfortably..
Anyone have any up to date websites or advice having traveled the areas down there?
I'm 22 and looking for adventure, on a budget!
Thank you!

You might want to move to Panama City, Panama because everything there is very cheap.

Here is what I do mean:

The taxis (from the street) will cost you $1.50.for 2 people.
If you have to call for them, it will cost you $1.90 for 2 people.

What is variable is the following:

Rent will vary from location to location.
Water will depend if it is included in the cost of the maintance or not.
The light bill is a nother factor.
And finally the telephone bill is a another variable factor.

St L, please watch out what you say because if you hurt somebody directly or indirectly Yahoo! will definitely hear about it.

I lived in Paraguay for 6 months and I lived in a relatively nice place for just $12 a month!! I paid $72 for a 6 month stay in a villa. Well it wasn't exactly like a villa in Italy or France but by Paraguayan standards it was a villa. Paraguay is the cheapest country to live in South America. I ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner on $3 a day. $90 to $95 a month on food. I ate only a little bit of food mainly just rice, beans, bread, and a small amount of fruits and vegetables, which was fine for me because I was trying to lose some weight. I didn't eat in any restaurants, I went to the markets and cooked the food myself and I also made friends who invited me over for meals. So if you know how to cook you an save a lot of money. Paraguay is the perfect place for a traveler on a budget, it's cheap but it's a beautiful country with great people. I plan on going to Egypt really soon, another cheap country, If you go to Paraguay you will just love it. Have fun wherever you decide to go :).

if you're serious Costa Rica is the place to go in central america. stay away from mexico, guatemala, el salvador, honduras, nicaragua etc
Costa Rica is clean and safe.
