phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoYeah, moving to lower cost of living will make you relatively rich. It’s a reason people sometimes retire to rural (lower tax-red) areas. However, If you’re still working the usual problem is that the jobs also pay less and “amenities” are also less. Fewer good restaurants, less option for entertainment, worse schools, etc.
