Based on Nashville's cost of living, here's selected remote jobs that would cover your costs:
I lived in Bowling Green for many years and found the people to be very friendly. There is quite a variety of restaurants and some bars have live music. The university offers many cultural activities, and Bowling Green's proximity to Nashville is good for the nightlife scene. I found it very easy to make friends here. On the downside, it gets extremely humid in summers and cool breezes are hard to come by. Bowling Green has become very popular, so traffic has worsened over the past several

You can also find plenty of good restaurants and arts around in the city. I recommend to stay at least 3-6 months to get the feel of living a PNW life.
