Most smallncities are close enough to large cities. Especially for how much of theb"exciting stuff" you end up actually doing. And you get a massive sabings in Cost of Living.
Like I am in the middle of Illinois. My COL is superlow. If I want to go to a concert, I can easily hit Chicago, St Louis, or Indianapolis in a 3 hour drive, get a hotel if I need to, and still be out ahead because my rent/mortgage isn’t some rediculous 2000/month+.

That’s what I did, but a good small starter home was $100 – I bought one for under $50k and fixed it up. A decent used car was $5k.
$30k is poverty wages in most places these days.
