Based on Nassau's cost of living, here's selected remote jobs that would cover your costs:
I guess if you're a nomad this doesn't matter much, but the long-term job pickings here are slim and among the most underpaid for a US city. There seems to be a tacit rent floor that means you won't find a good deal on housing. A lot of people don't seem very invested in their interpersonal relationships here since their ties to the area are often transient.

Traffic is terrible and everything is under construction.

Yes, it’s very expensive — but there is no city on earth that’s more captivating in my opinion.
