I mean it's only cheap when you take into account that you are earning US dollars in the US, and the people living there are earning local wages. If you plan to move there and get a job, unless you plan on getting some upper class gig or earning US dollars, those apartments will no longer be cheap compared to your monthly wage.
The implication I take from 'retirement' is that you're bringing a big wad of saved-up cash with you. That way you are paying for 'cheap' stuff with your US wage.
Meh there are some positions in places like China that pay well even in Chinese money, especially when you consider the cost of living is lower even for the Chinese themselves.
