      It pretty much is for a majority of my contemporaries in this low cost of living area. Lots of nice houses around here for under $300k. Mine was under 150k

        If everyone lived in a low cost of living area then it wouldn’t be low cost of living. I’m happy for your success, but the fact that the rich throw crumbs to some of us isn’t cause for celebration when there’s millions worse off than you and even you deserve more.

          I didn’t say everybody should move here. I don’t want them to. It’s just a message of support to those who think life is hopeless, that there are other opportunities out in the world that they should be aware of. Too many people get trapped in their local mindset and don’t even think that things could be better somewhere else.

          Also a reminder of the value of being frugal. Living in a high cost of living area is the antithesis of being frugal.
