Where in the USA is still cheap to live?

With inflation going crazy in the US, and most of the world, and prices skyrocketing, especially in the large cities, I've been looking at the small cities for a home base. Here are my top five cities in the southern USA that I would move to, they are cheap and underrated cities with a lot of unique things to see and do!

I like to spend a lot of time traveling internationally, working seasonally somewhere in the US, or just staying on the go. So finding a city that's affordable for a home base is essential for me. It's also a huge plus if it has warm winters. For that reason, I've been on the hunt in the southern USA for 'home', a city I can invest in. The criteria has been cheap cost of living, mild winters, convenient enough to big airports, and having plenty to see and do in the area (especially nature related attractions). I still haven't picked a spot, but after traveling all around the south, these are my top five choices so far!

If you're thinking about retiring in a small southern city, or looking for a good city to start a business, or just wanting to move to the south... this video is for you!

The cities that made the list:

Brownsville, Texas
Greenville, South Carolina
Gainesville and Tallahassee, Florida
Huntsville, Alabama
Chattanooga, Tennessee


Honorable mentions:

Columbus, Athens, and Macon, Georgia
Knoxville, Tennessee
Fayetteville, Arkansas
Greensboro, Greenville, and WinstonSalem, North Carolina
Columbia, South Carolina
Ocala, Florida

*I wanted to feature lesserknown and underrated cities, so for this reason I left off cities like Savannah, Georgia that are also affordable and really nice, if they're already very popular.

*Several cities in Virginia would have made the list, including Richmond, Roanoke, and Lynchburg, but I decided not to include VA as a part of the south for this purpose. Just blurs the line too much and adds too many options.

Hope you guys enjoy. Would love to hear your thoughts. Which cities would be on your list? Don't forget to subscribe if you enjoyed the video, it really helps us out!
