I was speaking generally.
Of course it can be a problem.
Some of them might resort to crime and begging but that was not my point.

My point was that if one is willing to accept the reality of their own financial limitations, why would someone else care?

When someone asks if they can do it, they are not asking if others are willing to do it.

I seem to recall a long-term Puerto Plata expat stating that she lives on less than $1,000 US per month and she seems to have a great life with a nice apartment, car, phone, internet, and health insurance.
