Ok, so if you were on a very limited income, where would you live?

[QUOTE="donna723, post: 528229, member: 1883"] Tennessee doesn't have a state income tax either, but we do have a pretty healthy sales tax. As a general rule, it is usually much cheaper to live in the smaller towns and outlying areas. I, too, am on a [U]very[/U] limited budget and rent a home in a very small town. I would tell you what I pay for rent but you probably wouldn't believe me - a good deal, even for here! I live in a cute little 2-bedroom historical home with a huge yard, literally a block away from everything I would ever need, with a great landlord who doesn't mind that I have dogs! Utilities are quite a bit lower here too. I really couldn't afford to live somewhere else! What I pay in rent for my 2-bedroom house and big yard is about a third of what I would pay for a tiny apartment in the "big city". And to purchase a home here isn't even half of what you would pay for the same house in an urban area. People here are open and friendly and there are neighbors around if you're the gregarious type (which I'm not) but it's still very nice. Yes, if you want to go to a mall or movie theater, you have to drive a little bit, but it's worth it. I manage to get by and even save a little, which is pretty darned good considering that I probably spend at least half of what I get on pet food and cigarettes! [/QUOTE]
