Which states? And can they have the same kind of financial freedom like the 80s?

Many of the southern and central US states with low cost of living, like Alabama, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, etc. You’re not going to be rich, but you could afford housing, food, and other basic necessities.
An equivalent yearly salary in SF, for example, is $45-56k/year (cost of living calculator), or $22-28/hr.
