The cheapest state to live in is Arkansas.
Although Mississippi is a pretty cheap state to live in Arkansas is the cheapest state to live in and Arkansas residents spend the least on housing.
Real Estate Taxes on homes and properties are also cheap and even taxes such as sales tax are lower in Arkansas than other states.
Some other states that are higher in cost to live in are Kansas, California, Florida, Texas Missouri, New York etc.
If you want the cheapest living then moving to Arkansas would be a great place to live or retire.
I hope to move to Arkansas when I retire in about 20 years.
I want to buy property sooner and vacation there and then build a house little by little until I get retired or find a job in Arkansas.
Vehicle registration is also cheap in Arkansas which trucks costing around $24.00 per year and cars around $17.00 per year.
