Half of all WORKING Americans make $30,000 a year or less. Ponder that.

Where I live, that’s not bad. It’s actually a small part of the reason I moved here (rural Kentucky) from Seattle, but kept my Seattle wages. Well, most of them.

And now my daughter and her husband are moving here from Seattle next month. Same situation. The crazy cost of living rising even faster than their wages along with the rising taxes just sent them over the edge.

Here in a Dallas/Ft Worth suburb we pay $1,100 a month for a 3 bedroom, 2 bath brand-new manufactured home. Can’t do that in Brooklyn, Seattle, San Francisco or Boston.

You shouldn't advertise it. I live in Phoenix, once a very affordable place to live if you can stand HEAT.

They are coming in droves and absolutely destroying it. I am looking to get out.

Washington in insane. We ate Subway there last summer (among other things but Subway sticks out in my mind because it should be cheap). I think it was close to $60 for us and I split a sub with my daughter.

Such a beautiful place though. I never thought I'd like that area as I really don't like rain.
