I would like to add that even though rent seems very cheap, those that cost starting at 800.000 p/month are quite ugly places to live in. Nice and simple appartments are really hard to find, most of the time the previously mentioned number reffers to a single bedroom and bathroom in the back of some house in Asunción. There's also no "roommate" culture around here. Still: you can absolutely find something that will be higenic and spacy, it just takes a lot of searching.
And also, as you can see, minimug wage is not nearly enough! Other than this...Asunción offers a nice quality of living with the propper money and organizing.
