Based on Dubuque's cost of living, here's selected remote jobs that would cover your costs:
Des Moines is a great little big city compared to the rest of Iowa. It has everything you need centrally located and the small surrounding suburbs have great school systems. Downtown Des Moines boasts a smorgasbord of delicious bakeries, coffee shops, and non-chain restaurants. They have recently added bike lanes to make it more pedestrian friendly. There are quite a few bars and nightclubs on Court Ave. to keep you entertained. Some have live entertainment, outside patios, and a cover to get in. Something else I love about Des Moines: its many parks and hiking trails! Plenty to do during the summer between that and the many festivals that seem to be going on every other weekend. Des Moines isn’t bad but it can be very slow so I wouldn’t recommend it to my thrill seekers: you’ll be bored! However, if you’re a nomad looking for a place to lay low and take things slow for a bit or, you’re a family looking for a better life: Des Moines is for you!

It is called, “City of Gold” and if you want to know LA, just watch this film. Trailer link: https://youtu.be/DmKTRDfz1zM

The city is nice but there are much nicer places in other parts of France. Also the people make no effort to speak english 80% of the time so do bring a french/english dictionary
