Oklahoma

The annual expenditures here are $43, 591. Oklahoma’s transportation costs will definitely come as a surprise to you, with only $3,681 a year. Plus, it’s one of the top 3 states where retirees with $500,000 will live the best life during their retirement.

It also ranks very well when it comes to places for business in the country, but also for the overall low cost of living. Ever since they started recovering from the recession years in 2010, fewer states can compare to the success Oklahoma has had. And this applies especially to Oklahoma City, as the jobs are consistently strong.

    I would consider moving to TN or maybe Mississippi only because those states i know support Americans Constitutional Freedoms. Im not sure about the others on your list? I have already been looking for land in WV and TN and was considering TN for a 3rd choice as i have found it hard to find land with a year round stream/creek/river on it? My wife and i both agree it has to have a stream flowing on the property. Well back to my search since i have had no luck locating any undeveloped land as of yet? lol

      I wouldn’t want to go to a state where the legislature is attempting to minimize or cancel my vote. That’s truly unconstitutional.
