- 70 Small Towns You Could Retire on $1500 A Month
Are you thinking about retirement someday? Most of us would like to but these days many of us can't. It is too expensive and we didn't invest enough into our retirement planning. Today's video might help. We did a series of this video back in 2020, the prices have changed a little but it hasn't changed so much that it isn't doable for most.
Enjoy the video and don't forget the thumbs up.
Do you need a local Realtor for the area you want to move to?

I think we have the best deal. We moved from NYC to The west side of Youngstown ,Ohio 5 years ago. We are retired and make just under 5K a month on SS. Our landlord charges us $450.00 a month and said as long as we pay on time, he’d never raise it. So far so good. We rent a 2 bdrm , 1 1/2 bath, house, with a nice yard.. We’ve saved a small fortune.
Wow! $450. a month is fabulous. I live 50 miles south of Cincinnati, in a small town. A 2 bedroom is $1000. Plus all utilities are paid by the renters.
I'm glad you are enjoying it.
You're living like it's 1975! Congrats!
We moved from an hour north of NYC to small town Alabama. Bought a 3/2 and house payment is $560/month. Property taxes $450/yr, reduced to $2.70/yr as husband considered disabled. We are living on just about $5k/mo, too. The goal was to find something that one of us could afford when the other passes. Just finished watching and we are just outside Decatur. Lol😂
@@beachbumetta Amen! That is amazing to hear! Congrats
@@beachbumetta Where an hour north? I’m sure I know it, as I was born and raised in Ossining.
I came across your channel through this video-case studies are incredibly valuable, and I'm eager to see more in the future! Building wealth involves establishing routines, like consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for smart investments.
People believe their currency has the worth it does because they have no other option. Even in a hyperinflationary environment, individuals must continue to use their hyperinflationary currency since they likely have minimal access to other currencies or gold/silver coins.
Uncertainty... it took me 5 years to stop trying to predict what bout to happen in market based on charts studying, cause you never know. not having a mentor cost me 5 years of pain I learn to go we’re the market is wanting to go and keep it simple with discipline.
This aligns perfectly with my desire to organize my finances prior to retirement. Could you provide me with access to your advisor?
NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE is her name. She is regarded as a genius in her area and works for Empower Financial Services. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
She appears to be well-educated and well-read. I ran an online search on her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing.
Briggs I got an idea for a video, I don't think You've done yet. How about a video on affordable RV parks across the U.S.? Since living the rv lifestyle myself and so many others doing it now, ( which is up 370% ) finding a nice affordable rv park is tough to do, a video on this matter would help so so many, thank you Briggs! ( A new and excited member here)
Look up Thousand Trails
Get a piece of land that doesn't have permits . Might save you a bundle when rv prices inevitably go up . I know tucson has some reasonable ones but you need ac in summer .
definitely
I need a place in Texas near the Gulf in southern area. Try that one. LOL . Love 😍😍😍 your videos.
I love that idea, and hope he does do a video on that idea! Thank you for coming up with it!
A small to medium town that has a lot of retirees might be a good place for a handyman, something to think about
This is April 2024. None of these places mentioned have the rental prices that are mentioned in this video. Rent has doubled if not tripled, while Social Security checks have not. I believe you now need at least $3,000 minimum to live anywhere in the U.S. Let me know if you disagree with me.
If you live in a van or RV and live off-grid on BLM land.
I'm outfitting my RV with solar and changing over to 12/24v systems.
There's no place city folk can live...even on $3k month
Where did his stats come from? Unbelievable this was done in 2021 I think. So he adjusted the cost to live there in 2024. Watching this was a waste of my time.
USA and SS is a joke! I live on 1600 a month and told I must tighten a belt. My home is paid off, which helps. But, I can't afford car repair, home repairs, etc. Eating out is not happening. And the only way you can live in any city in the USA is if you do passive income, REITs and ETFs, pull 2 jobs and put as much money from those jobs into passive income so that you can afford to retire. I don't buy steak, seafood, condiments, luxury anything and yet I'm told that I am wasteful with my money and just not being spending wisely! It is amazing how many people can't do math! The average amount needed for a true living wage in the USA is really 80,000 or more. It used to be around 50,000. This means we need to make at least 45 per hour or more, just to count for taxes!
I agree
I came to the same conclusion after checking many of these out! Greed will kill many of us older retired folks. We’re the fastest homeless population and the stress this causes is extremely bad for our health
If only us old veterans got 1500.00 a month.
Negotiate
Do you have service related disabilities, and are a military veteran, you can apply for compensation monthly.
Depend on what percent disabled you are I think
I retired as an E8 with twenty years and get a little over $1000. You have got to be kidding if you think anyone could survive on that!
My rent is $1950! That's JUST the rent.
Thank you. I’m single and 68. By Gods grace I’m still able to work a 40 hour week. I will need to move once I retire I’m always a little surprised no one thinks to mention how close you are to a hospital and how that hospital is rated teaching hospital etc. Perhaps that might be one of your future criteria?
I agree. I am working a full week also still at 65. I'll work until I can't. But no matter, I would not live anywhere that did not have a teaching hospital within an hour. You get what you pay for!
Not to mention availability of doctors
Access to decent healthcare is so important.
So true being single makes moving a bigger decision and a little daunting thanks for the replys
@@helenedwards9304 Oh yes, being single is not where I’d hoped to be at 60; yet it’s better than a bad marriage.
My husband and I bought a house in a very small town at auction for $5000.00. We never regretted the purchase. Small town living is great! We live on retirement and SS and do alright.
Hey guy,
This must be an extremely old video, because I live in Apache Junction and I cannot touch a one-bedroom apartment right now for less than $1,200 a month. Since covid, everything got expensive because people have become greedy unmentionables in life.
Got it. I pass through Apache on a road trip from California to Missouri. Quaint, $1,200.00 is keeping up with California. Just ridiculous 😱
I suspect that’s the case for most of these towns.
Not sure where in CA you can rent for $1200 @bigvalley4987
@@bigvalley4987ha it's about 3500 in the Bay
TJANKS FOR THE HEADS UP, BASED OFF YOUR UNNECESSARY BIAS/ RACIST COMMENTS ABOUT DETROIT, IT MIGHT FOLLOW THAT THE PLACES U SELECTED MAY CONTAIN A MAJORITY OF MORE SWINES LIKE U, SO I WON'T BOTHER TO SHARE WITH FRIENDS & FAMILY & JUST UNSUBSCRIBE TO TOXIC ENTITIES LIKE U WHO STILL EXIST ON THE TUBE!
You should add if the state taxes Social security or pensions. That will make a big difference to retired people
Yes, I love this content. Please do a series of videos about living on Social Security, especially in warmer locations because of winter heating costs.
And arthritis!
I cant find a single apartment in Apache junction that rents for 400 bucks. They're all ranging 1500 to 2000 for a 1 bedroom
Exactly, rent has doubled or tripled and none of these prices of rents are valid in April 2024. Social Security checks have not doubled or tripled while food and rent have. This explains the exploding numbers of homeless seniors.
Rent roze up because of population boom? I lived in motorhome for 20yrs! Portland suburb said I can't! I said I don't! I live in my semi 3 weeks out out the month!!
Yup he's completely wrong about AJ in this video I turned it off after that cause all the others are prolly wrong as well
*Moscow Suburbs:* In the *New Moscow Administrative District,* Sosensky Urban Settlement, residential complex *"Spanish Quarters",* which is a comfort-class development. It's about 4.7 km away from the Moscow Ring Road and has a population of around 23K (divided into two areas: First and Second).

Next can you explore tiny home communities?
Tiny homes are outrageously overpriced. $40,000 for a 200 sqft tiny home??? That’s $2000 a sgft!
No foundation. No quality cabinetry. No basement. No storage. No appliances..
What a joke.
If you applied the same pricing strategy for a modest 1500 sqft home you would pay 3,000,000 for it.
What a gigantic ripoff.
@@jocarson5310 And to make matters worse, you have to LEASE the land, and it will keep going up! And a lot of those tiny home communities have ridiculous fees, like the one in Flat Rock, NC, which forces you to pay $5,000 just to move out! Insane.
@@jocarson5310 yes, those are a scam and sponsored by WEF to ensure we own nothing and eat our own feces...
Been through many of these towns as a trucker. Spur Texas has a new gig: Tiny Homes. They allow them in the city..
THANKS! I'm bleeding out where I live! Looking for options, at this point I want to just dig big hole or live in a cave on the side of a mountain!
They Should have more affordable tiny home communities but wealthy "investor" types are trying to ruin that also
@@AndreaSimone57 one of the worst companies of that is Blackrock
Trailer parks - they are called tornado magnets.
😂❤😂
What does a GA divorce and a tornado have in common. Either way, someone loses a trailer!
Hurricanes too. I'm from Florida!😢
You help me satisfy my wonderlust. Thanks Briggs!
Yessss…
Please do more of this!
As a retiree, the body can't take the cold anymore. What about a place where the climate is not too bad and also diverse.
Nor the scorching heat of the desert, unless of course, you just stay inside in the A/C or poolside if you have one.
Yuma AZ. There is the Colorado river there and in the winter close to the desert for riding your toys. San Diego is only 2 hours away. My parents lived in a nice resort park with pools and activities and golf courses. They bought their trailer new and my dad built another room addition to it. Annual payment was 4,700.00 for the rent space.
Their trailer was paid off.
Go to Thailand or veitnam @@MrTPF1
@@diannepierce936Barely any hospitals in the vicinity tho..
@@diannepierce936space rent for a decent 55+ mobile home park here is nearly $1300 a month Greed and Corp ownership of parks has even ruined that option now !
$1500 a month means better not have debt. Better use a bike for transport. Means being extremely careful with expenses. Pretty much strapped all the time. Moving in with relatives or split costs with roommates. Can be done, but would you want to? $1500 a month gets a much better life overseas. Of living in a vehicle on Federal land camping.
I live pretty good in the USA on $1500. I even save! Lol I live in a wealthy neighborhood. Just don't buy stupid stuff. ✌️♥️

Would be interesting to see your budget broken down. Rent, utilities, groceries, car payment, gas, insurance, entertainment, miscellaneous. You can certainly reduce some of those categories and even do without. But Briggs keeps talking about "survive here." Surviving isn't much of a life. But if just existing is fine great. I have minimalist tastes except I like to eat out and go to the movies. Others have other habits/hobbies/passions. Not much of a life without some of these things.
In the winter you can pay upwards of $600 a month for heating in Vermont New Hampshire and Rhode Island. Thats not included in rent.
@@kristendominique5554 Still cheaper than Westchester County , NY. in the winter. It gets cold there too
Please, can you do this again but with cities that are relatively warm year round. And low humidity. (Raised in So. Cal. and am spoiled, but hey).
AZ
I'm also 'spoiled'. So. Cal. (San Diego Co.) on the coast.
@@ginnylorenz5265 You forgot to mention crowded and costly.
None in the U.S. Have to retire in Latin America and many are.
Apache Junction- it was the second one he said
FYI, I just moved from Port Charlotte, FL just south of Englewood, Fl and the rents are significantly higher than your quote - even from 2010. The costs are so high that I left Florida and moved to Carrington, ND which is overall much more affordable. The rents in Port Charlotte for a 1 Bdrmwas running (less than 6 months ago $1500/month not including utilites etc.) and we weren't as popular as Englewood.
Can confirm the cost of housing has gone up so quickly and so fast it’s hard to believe and keep up with.
@jaywizz7008 depends of course on what housing type you are looking for, but in Port Charlotte, a 1 bdrm apt was $1400 -1600 / month. I don't know what trailers rent for, but it should be easy to find out.
Have our own place here in Punta Gorda Florida and my daughter rents in Port Charlotte and the rent is ridiculous, remember when there was no Murdock and used to hunt deer and hogs off Peachland Blvd, there was no houses out there and North Port wasn't anything but a gas station and convenient store on the way to Venice, use to rent a house in Port Charlotte for about 250-300 dollars a month when I was 18-19
Also grew up in Englewood, on lemon Bay,New Point Comfort Rd, nice beach but expensive now, everything has changed so much down here,i remember a totally different world around here back in the 70s-80s it's completely different now
Do more of these that are in moderate weather climates.
then they won't be affordable
@@lkd06 😭😭😭
So Cal Native. Weather has made us picky. Husband hates humidity, brutal winters and summers. Baker City, OR did catch my eye as a place to retire. Thanks Briggs!
Baker City would be considered high desert just like Pennelton Oregon. Been to both and there is very little industry, which is how we all survive. Just remember that without business communities can't thrive and survive. We have lost the majority of manufacturing products to China and overseas. It's really very sad.
Hi Briggs, My kids (My son and his wife) live in Ogdensburg, NY. They have been looking at houses. 50,000 will get you a house. It's VERY close to Canada and the houses are cheap. Canton, Watertown, and an Army base are near by. But it does get a lot of snow, not so much this year. Retirees can live there for cheap.
Hard to find people to help as one ages..weather is tough on arthritis
Please do more videos like. this..especially warm climates
Why nobody talk about Texas is good place?
Thanks, I am going to investigate this for a home.
I lived in upstate New York. The property taxes were outrageous. Yes, you can get a House for $60,000, but the yearly property taxes and on it and the local school taxes could be as much as 6,000!
Rent in Wausau is over $1,000 a month if you want a place you can afford to heat in winter.
Tiny Homes are becoming popular , especially by seniors and young couples.
Kingston, TN is the town that time forgot.
Why is that? I've been looking for somewhere like Mayberry. I don't like the city. And nice quiet small towns are hard to find quiet.
Love your videos. Please more about cheap retirement places. Tyvm
Kingsport, TN ;-)
HaHa, that’s what my mother had said of Baker City, OR once when visiting
Pretty country
Hey Briggs - Great video! Please do as many of these as you can. Love the small town on a budget ones! If you can split them up so people can watch the ones they're most interested in, e.g. areas of the US, etc. that would be awesome.
Here's another idea for you: Please do a video on small towns for Older Hippies on a Budget - these would be places where the politics aren't too conservative, marijuana is legal, the weather is sunny and temperate, which keeps heating bills down and lets you have solar and grow organic food and exercise outdoors year round, and where you can live for not too much money. Extra points if the places have great internet, are diverse and are near a hospital. I'm up in the Pacific Northwest like you, and finding it pretty expensive here for retirement, and too cold and wet.
You'd have to move to Cali for all that. Better start playing the lottery!
Yeah, that's where I moved FROM 😂! I'm actually looking at Baja Mexico, near the border. But would love to find good options in the US.
I want a place that old hippies DONT LIKE No Marijuana No hemp. I live in south Oregon and am sick of the cannabis smell and crime and the cartels that go with it.
@@monicaclark9581 I'm afraid you have us confused with someone else. We are quiet gardeners who just want to be left alone and have kind and tolerant neighbors. We don't like crime or cartels either. Rural Oregon where we live is just too expensive for us to retire.
@@terrimykland1621I lived in southern OR when I was young and wish I could afford even to visit! I live in southern Mexico.
Awesome list of affordable small towns for retirement on a budget! Makes dreaming of a peaceful, cost-effective life totally possible. 🏡
Ok. I have to say.
Rents may be cheap but did you know those amts don't include any utilities. Another shock? Apt complexes are charging, not only for costs IN your apt, but for maintenance (use it or not), bldg water, sewage, garbage, property care (snow removal, lawn mowing, ) electricity, and a bill for having to give you a bill! Then there's mandatory renters insurance.
Theres also ppl who reroute electric wires so if it's yours you can keep yours turned off or pay their bill.
So your rent may be advertised at 650 but the fees may add ùp to 900 w bldg costs, then you have the bills for your apt, maybe 200 if you use heat, air, refrigerator, hot water, lights, fans, tv, etc. So that your actual cost is 1150+/month.
I've rented for many years & what no one is saying is that every place for rent in every city or state demands income of 3 to 3 1/2 times the rent. It's the first demand and if you dont have it, even if you have a chunk in savings, nobody will rent to you. Good luck w subsidized housing, the waiting lists are years long. The newest problem, though, is the migrants who are given preference for any living space, and the companies who are buying up all bldgs and houses to rent only.
If you managed to get out of the US before or just after covid, you could get into Mexico w $500/month income. Now it is $3500/month and a healthy bit deposited in their bank. It's also no longer permitted to use the swinging door visa and illegal Americans are being deported back to the states.
Good luck everyɓody❤
La Grande, Oregon has a beautiful downtown, and outside of town is the Hot Lake Hotel, which is an awesome place to stay and soak in the hot tubs.
I'm on a fixed income as I am only withdrawing from Social Security that I paid into. I sure hope that no one guts SS and Medicare or else I don't know what I would do as a widow.
Vote blue then.
@@brianweber4154other way around
Sorry fully funding payouts not possible beyond 2032. Known for 30 years, no solution. The G will always cheat the most vulnerable and unable to fight back.
@@brianweber4154 ok I will
@@brianweber4154?
The problem with many of the places (esp New England where I came from & love) even a $150k house can carry a 6k or more real estate tax every year wh substantially cuts into the budget.
The biggest issue with living in an area that has very cheap cost-of-living is you’re getting exactly what you pay for. The infrastructure is typically terrible, the healthcare support in the areas are typically very subpar and any kind of other general quality of life things that you’re used to living with is going to have to be scaled back and taken with a very big grain of salt.
You need to do some videos that include 2 bedroom apartments.
Interesting to see so many places that one most likely never would see if not for videos like these! Thanks

What's funny about the statement is that Detroit hit a 57 year low in crime and is now lower than cities like Memphis, Little Rock, Rockford, Cleveland, Tulsa, OKC, Jacksonville, Springfield, Nashville, Indianapolis, etc

In San Diego California, $800 get you a room.
"Normal Schools" were teaching colleges and they were usually funded by the state.
Correct!
The price listed for Englewood is incorrect....the cheapest I've found is $1500/month for a shoebox
Please continue this vid series for other places @ $1500/Mo..Thanks in advance~
I live in a small town in Georgia on the Flint River/Lake Seminole. I paid off my mortgage and CC before I retired and have paid off car. My power bill is approx $100, ph and internet is another hundred and pay cc every month (around $200). Taxes are less than $1500 a yr, home ins $1200, about $200 monthly. Decent local medical available, small hospital…nearest large hospital about an hr away. Very hot in the summers but have mild winters. Gulf of Mexico an hour away, generally not affected by hurricanes (exception 2018). Think I’ll stay where I am.
This confirmed my decision, 13 years ago, to leave the States as I could see the writing on the wall and sure didn’t want to live in a tent!
Please where did you move?
@@darcy5761 Southern Mexico
Briggs, for enjoyable retirement check out some of the small towns around Branson Missouri. They do get some winter, but not terrible. There are 4 beautiful seasons. At the moment a person can get a house for much less than the asking price. In the towns around Branson you get to drive to the vacationland of Branson for attractions if you wish to, but because you don’t live in Branson itself you avoid the Branson traffic and get a quieter place to live. In these towns there isn’t a high crime rate. In 2024 Missouri is trying to become more senior friendly. The state government has voted a freeze on property taxes for those 65 and above. The counties have to vote on the bill to accept it in their county. Taney county, the county where Branson is located, will be voting on the property tax bill in September 2024. This is the Omari’s, or part of it, so there is plenty of lakes, rivers, fishing and nature for the retiree to enjoy. Check it out!
Not a chance. You traded Claire McCaskill for Josh Hawley. No thank you.
Love that part of the country, and Josh Hawley too. Beautiful. Very mild 4 seasons.

No truth about Apache Junction at all it is expensive here 😂❤
That’s true!! I love AJ, when I used to live in AZ! Loved going to the Renaissance festival out there too!! So much fun!
Right??? It’s expensive in Arizona!!!
@dianaewing3276 yes it's the last 3 years' price is high everything specifically in rent Thank God I Don't have to pay rent I own it 😅
If you own your mobile home in Apache Junction, the land rent can be as much as $930 a month and it goes up every year. Corporations are taking them over.
Thanks for the heads up, I was looking at that place to. Not now tho.
2024 now and these prices are so out of date it’s not even funny! $750 then is 1150 now.
YES I would truly appreciate hearing about others as well. I need to live in a generally mild climate... due to health not too hot and I never lived where it snowed
Central Falls , RI is a ghetto place. Honestly RI in general is very pricey to live tax wise.
Great Video Briggs! Big THUMBS UP
I Love it! "Don't fear stats. Don't fear numbers"
Fear actual cost.
Do a list of the top two small towns in each state A: to retire to and B: affordable with jobs available (for non-college graduates)… so four towns in each state that people would want to move to. Some states have a plethora of cheap cities and towns but no jobs for the younger crowd… retired, I can live in an RV and move around but a twenty or thirty something is another story all together.
I currently live in Prosser, WA. For the past 23 yrs. We are hoping to return to IN. We like this area of the state. However the other side of the mountain…..King County dictates the woke politics. I realize your criteria and Prosser has come a long way. We have met some very kind people here. We own a large home with acreage. We have a good community hospital which is a blessing. We di have just twi seasons here…..I call them…..wind & fire. We get a lot of each. I’ve never lived anywhere so windy. I have lived in many places and sone states more than once. Prosser is growing. So much since we have been here. Overall…..not a bad place to live.
It’s good for me. I sweat and hold ceremony with the Yakama or other tribes in the area. I am Lakota/Eastern Cherokee and my Rez is in SD. The Yakama are such a friendly tribe.
Briggs I predict this will be a VERY popular video!
The rents may be affordable, but it would be nice to see what they look like in the neighborhoods in which they reside.

Hi Briggs 😊 Just stumbled across your channel. Like you, I don't like the heat but am currently living in Dallas, Tx because I found an apartment for seniors that is dirt cheap but safe. I would love to find a place to live that doesn't "melt my false eyelashes off". Love that quote😂😂 I don't need good schools or a job as a retiree, but lower rent and access to medical facilities would be a good thing. Thank you for all the research you do to bring us this information!
I'll retire in the 2030's & what im most interested in is a warm - hot place with plenty of trees, of course low crime, very quiet with lots of walking/hiking trails!
Hot Springs Village Arkansas
Yuma Az is your spot then. Colorado River is there so boating and the desert for riding toys in the winter. You can walk but it’s the desert so you might want to drive a couple of hours to San Diego for hiking, biking and beaches.
Please share all 50 areas that we can live for a basic social security income only
Mr. Briggs, Are you factoring in the cost of Medicaid that seniors have to pay?
Your way of saying Englewood is the right way,born in Sarasota and lived in Englewood until late 70s , live in Punta Gorda now not far from Englewood,, definitely more expensive now, one bedroom effientcy will set you back 250-350 dollars a week not month
Let’s get real; on $1500 you’re going to be living in your car in most states in America…if you can afford to keep it roadworthy and insured that is.
Briggs, thanks for the updates! I am a Navy vet with VA and hoping to rcv retirement soon.
Looking forward to more in the series!
I am so enjoying this!
$1500 would be awesome. My SS is half that
I rent out a three bedroom home on the far north side of Milwaukee for 1200 a month and that is 300 less than the average in the area.
I really need to hear about medical options in these places.
Yes please more of these kind of videos!!! Thank you Briggs!
Retirees do not hate "cold and snow". Many of us love both.
I don't know about Bedford, Ohio. Back in the '80s and '90s it was a lovely place with a beautiful downtown area and beautiful old houses. It's since seems to be going downhill as it has some pretty bad neighborhoods around it.
I would never live there!
This video is incredibly insightful! It's great to know there are still affordable places with a good quality of life. Has anyone visited or lived in any of these towns? I'd love to hear more about your experiences.
I live in Cameron, one of the towns in the video and he is just blatantly wrong. Minimim rent here is 1595 for a 1 bedroom apt and there are no houses for rent and when one does pop up its usually around 1600-2000. I dont think i would rely on this guy for information.
I agree
I love these videos of places I don’t think I’d ever want to live! Thank you for curing any of my wanderlust
Maybe check school & crime rate first
Thanks for all your extensive information. It helps to know or have at least a ball park figure of each affordable town in all corners of the U.S.
Thx again! 🙏
I just looked--average apt in Calhoun & Dalton GA is $1500 and up waaaaay over that.
Yes I would love to see more like this.
Yes, I would like to see more videos like this..
You sound so young!
You voice sounds 26 years old!
Thanks for the videos!
That’s what I thought, the voice sounds like a younger man. I like the voice though.
I actually love the cold and some of the upper states but want to be where I don't have to shovel myself out of the snow.
Coopersville is close to Lake Michigan, close to Grand Rapids for medical care. Very Small town rural

Really liked this video more please 😊
I'm liking your beard and new look.
Always watching one (or, 3) of your videos each day.
It's "YOU"-MATILLA.
_And, you forgot "Irrigon, Oregon"._
Round Up, MT is where you go when your dream dies. It used to be that cheap but rent is 3 times what Briggs reported now thanks to the Race For Montana.
😂 where you go when your dream dies 😂😂😢
I just googled a handful of these. This must be Very Old Video. The rents I saw were double and even triple what you’re claiming! Those rents don’t exist 😢
Do another one. West coast?
Great info on this one. More West Coast please and thank you.
Great video! Here's a fun fact about Erick, OK. The place with the hub caps you referenced is on historic Rte 66 and the owner was the inspiration for the character Tow-Mator on the Disney movie, Cars
During the Spring, Summer and Fall we live near a small town in northern Wisconsin. After our return to Saint Paul we generally head south to the gulf coast or the southern Atlantic coast for our winter vacation.
No way are you renting anything other than a room in someone's home in Englewood FL for 800 a month. Prices for everything have exploded in this area.
I'm from Nebraska and our winters aren't too bad anymore
I looked up Apaje Junction AZ, and there are NO rentals for the price you mentioned.
No there are not!!!!! Maybe 15 yrs ago. I live in Mesa, near Apache Junction and there is nothing under $1500.00. Don’t let this video fool you!
I have been trying to find a place to live for 22 months now since my divorce that is affordable on my SS. Arizona is so expensive that I was considering a mobile home in a trailer park. Even the lot rents in Apache Junction are more than he is talking about, and I checked apartments, they are much more than quoted here.
AWESOME info 👍❤
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks once again, Briggs.
really enjoyed this video. this made me look at areas i hadn't considered.
i am really looking to make the move to New Mexico and was wondering if you do any videos by state alone.
keep up the great insights to place to live. you do a great job and love your comentary!
If cost of living is your main concern, simply don't retire in the US.
