Actually, the idea of moving to India is not as crazy as it sounds
I personally know lots of guys who have move to Thailand and the low cost of living there has enabled them to live their dream. Many have started businesses and websites that they would never have been able to do if they'd stayed in the US or the West in general.
One of my friends started an electronics company. Another helps companies write presentations and is a science fiction author (his passion). Another friend runs a dive school (his passion is scuba)...the list goes on.
Maybe it wouldn't work in this case, but reducing your financial requirements by an order of magnitude can throw up some interesting possibilities.
