I'm often curious why more people aren’t moving to low cost of living areas. I don’t know if I’ve just been fortunate, but I’m a college drop out who honestly hasn’t tried very hard in my “career”, but I moved out to Cincinnati which has a low cost of living at 23 (8 hours from my family) and I’ve managed to do very well for myself with a modest paying job (20ish an hour). I have 40k saved up and plan to buy a house this year. I wonder if other people who have went or started on a similar route are doing well for themselves.

And if you are in a high cost of living area, would you ever consider moving somewhere significantly cheaper?

    Telling in which way? My autistic brain never likes these vague types of comments.

        Have you considered pulling up the old bootstraps so you can be financially comfortable? Work an honest day (8 hours) for an honest day's wage ($2.67).
