What's your monthly burn? If you downshift to building something that will bring in $2k/month you have an infinite burnrate.
With our startup we had a six month financial abyss timeframe, which was doable but risky. So, we spent the last two months pushing out a series of products- we shipped four different things in those two months, with the criteria being 'novel, simple, and potentially profitable in the short term'. Fortunately enough, one of them has taken off on the App Store enough that we're on track to make 2-3k/month with it
Now, 2-3k isn't a lot... except for the little detail that my co-founder and I are living in Budapest! I'm American and he's Hungarian so it was a no-brainer for us, but if you are working on your own, pick a place!
From my perspective, living in America is a waste of money if you have an internet based income- by moving to somewhere somewhere in South America or Eastern Europe your money will go three times as far, and you'll have a great time in the process.
