Where is the most affordable place to live in America?

Gross Income - Gross Expense = Net Income (Or Net Loss)

In a nutshell I've heard ppl talk about CA, NY and other places being "relative" in cost of living.

Fact is most ppl in those areas earn a wages that may be exactly the same as someone in other locations.

So affordable means, how much do you have left over after your expenses.

I know folk who live in "rural" america who can't afford to live; since they live above thier means:)

Figuring the equation above will answer your question and allow you to determine "affordability" no matter where you go

I've lived a lot of places and affordability meant making sure I had a Net Income as opposed to a Net Loss to work from.

Affordability is a relative term. Places with unusually low cost of living (such as SW MO where I live) tend to have much lower wages than more expensive metropolitan areas. If I found a job in Boston that paid double what I'm currently earning, Boston would be more "affordable" for me.

San Antonio Texas

anywhere in rural america. small towns have virtually no property value. a house that would go for a million in a city, you could get for about 200,000 in a small town.

Brooklyn, New York if you can handle it!

where ever you park your car.
