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?

    wait is Duluth MN expensive? compared to NY??? (even upstate I assumed it would be more expensive than MN)

    I know people (well, person) with nice places in Duluth for way less than say, chicago or probably even milwaukee/minneapolis

    But I have no frame of reference for Rochester NY
