What do locals think of foreigners living in rural parts of Thailand on very modest budgets?
The foreigner who adopts an "enhanced" Thai lifestyle will live very happily and make few enemies. -

USA Lancet Study: Trump’s Foreign Aid Cuts Could Result in Millions of Preventable Deaths
As has been said, Europe gives a lot more aid than the USA does. Germany, UK and Sweden alone give more than the USA, and the EU also gives an amount equivalent to about 60% of what the USA gives, on top. The USA is a skinflint. Anyway who gets the most aid from the USA? Guess. Should be obvious Israel. They get 3.8 billion every year, about 400 US dollars for every Israeli. And last year, about 20 billion. I bet that aid is not reduced in Trump's budget. It would be nice if Europe could help make up the Aid deficit. But Europe is being squeezed, They are providing aid to Ukraine (double what USA has provided), have suffered economic problems due to rise in oil and gas prices in the Ukraine war (from which the USA has benefitted), while Trump is screwing Europe on tariffs. They also get all the refugee problems to deal with from Ukraine, Africa and the Middle East, which does not affect the USA much. Some European countries are already cutting their aid budgets (e.g. UK) because they also have deficits in national budgets. taxation is going up and living standards down. Meanwhile in the USA, the rich are going to get tax cuts. Paid for by everyone else - in the whole world.
