I live in Jacksonville, FL, so I'm very familiar with Middleburg At 12:35 or so in your video, there is a billboard for a regional personal injury law firm I used to work therenice guys and good lawyers if you ever get rear-ended Not far from Middleburg is Keystone Heights It's very popular to buy a mobile home and put it on your own piece of land in Middleburg or Keystone Heights

Comment from : Sandra Chamber

I've lived in Greenvillle, SC for the last 43 years and that's right next to Taylors That is a great area to live, not too big yet, but is growing The intersection shown is where I go through to my favorite meat and three family restaurant, which I'll travel 65 miles just to eat there The weather is very nice, four seasons and only about 7-8 inches of snow on average a year

Making a video on Southern towns but you’re not from the South, you should probably educate yourself on how we pronounce things It’s not hel-E-an, it’s HELL-eh-na

I agree with Justin I have been with USAA for over 40 years I had to wait 8 years to get a commission because then it was only officers Today they have expanded eligibility so much that if your dog is named Sarge, he qualifies Service has tanked

Comment from : M H

Thank you so much for making me realize how FOOLISH I AM! You missed a big big bargain right on the Georgia coast I bought a 3 bedroom, 100 yrs old charming coastal cottage in 2015! It overlooks the Sapelo River, and br Sapelo Sound, 4 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, straight ahead😮brI live in a tiny hamlet, under300 yr old live oaks Less than 50 houses in the entire area, totally private!!! Big big lots and privacy! A lovely park with Civil War gravesbrI did have a large down payment, on mortgage, taxes, insurance cost…$54200 a month for 3 bedroom, 2 bath, big addition off the back, big screened porch off the front, that overlooks the river and marsh, straight to the Atlantic!brNow drawbacks, Savannah is about 50 miles north, Brunswick hospital, shopping, Walmart, Publix’s 30 miles South Tiny town, 5 miles, The Pig, Pharmacy, Dollar General, Dry Cleaner, 5 miles awaybrThank you for helping me count my many blessings to live in an absolutely breathtaking location for under $80000 per month! Not counting food, of coursebrI did have to gut the kitchen in my cottage when I moved in Cost, $30,000 Other than that, in perfect shape, and with the front Arbor, looks like something out of a story bookbrI won’t tell you where this magic place is, because we don’t want to ruin the peace herebrWe have an Alley of GIANT OAKS THAT HANG OVER THE ROAD dripping in Spanish Moss! WE ARE ON THE LAND OF A FORMER PLANTATION! So you can imagine the trees, and river Two yrs ago, the neighbors all chipped in and planted an additional 200 Live Oaks going down the 3 mile road! Our hopes for future generations to discover and cherish, as we all do! It’s our wish for the future! Sorry you missed it, but very glad too!

Comment from : YeshuaMyKing

I lived a hamlet where houses rented for b*$400*/b in TN Middle of nowhere
Comment from : YeshuaMyKing

Why even include Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas in your videos if you hate them so much? There are wonderful places to live in those states and wonderful people that live there Your credibility decreases when your video is so biased
Comment from : Jen Moody

Oklahoma and Texas are not part of the US Southwest Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and Southern California, of which you included 2 cities
Comment from : HazeGrey61

Not Red Bank It is in decline
Comment from : Eleandra Van Hooser

You seem to be biased about some Southern States(ie:Louisiana , Mississippi ) I live in a small town in Louisiana and I love it Maybe you should come a visit vs googling areas! Shame on you
Comment from : Anitra Batiste

Basically the south is cheap but what would u do for excitement it seems to be depressing and too laid back 4 me
Comment from : Elliott Schwartz

yea well this is before Biden took over
Comment from : buchmann jeff

I live on $735 a month in Childersburg, Al
Comment from : Mike Hamby

If this true I still wouldn’t plan on retiring here because its only a matter of time before the developers come and drive the cost of living up If you want to retire on the income stated it’s best to move out of the country
Comment from : polyverse1

Living on $1600 / month can’t be done people, not in today’s world With cost of electricity, insurances, car costs like gas and repairs, food cost that are skyrocketing, medical costs national average of rent for 1 bedroom at $1200/mo It is not feasible Majority of people have CC debts and other costs like medicines and life insurance policies We are living in a duel income society now! If you have a partner and you both bring in SS checks of the national average of 1550/mo that’s $3100/mo I would say you could do it but you still would need very little debt if any to make it! Don’t forget out of the $1550 Medicare takes $147/mo So now your left with $1400 /mo roughly What about having money left over for emergencies like car repairs or medical $1600 doesn’t go far if you need part of it to save for emergencies Credit counseling state you should save at least a minimum of 20 of your income So if you make SS of $1200 that would be $240/mo Take that from your $1200 and your left with $960 for everything else! That’s not a lot to work with for other costs of living expenses, to in today’s America I will be living in a car starting 5/2023 because I can’t afford rent anymore My car payment is $460/mo I am a senior (67) no family to rely on Food and gas costs are too muck My rent will be $460/mo Ahhhhh those golden years!
Comment from : Craig

The guy making this video is drinking his bath water! The average SS check is $900 per month If you are on a single income living today is very difficult You might be able to live in these towns if you have a double income or a single with no bills such as car Not sure where this guy is getting his figures So let’s see if your SS Pay is $1200/mo and rent in one of these towns goes for $800/mo that leaves you $400 Now you have a car payment of $460/ mo, whoops can’t do it jack! Stop making these stupid unrealistic videos!
Comment from : Craig

How are these monthly expenditures figured out? is that with a mortgage payment with minimum down? At what interest rate? Confused
Comment from : Latitude

Mcrae is very nice twin city is also nice too
Comment from : Charles & Marys Adventures

No way would i ever retire in those Republican southern states and they want to strip us of social security what the hell
Comment from : roygbiv creations

I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead We have started to save to retire from the farm, and possibly live on rental income, I'd really appreciate you go LIVE and talk about how to earn passive income online and retire comfortably, let’s say $1M

ARKANSAS IS CLOSED! WE DONT WANT OR NEED YOU, ESPECIALLY IF YOU VOTE BLUE! WE ALREADY HAVE ONE CORNER FULL OF IDIOTS

Comment from : Solutions2 Exist

I can tell you now that southern states smalltowns don't want a bunch of people moving into their hometowns that they have lived their whole lives for someone else to come and not appreciate it or worse take advantage of it or tear it up like and trash it upon the weekends and leave for the week for someone else to clean up
Comment from : live4life

Louisiana is NOT cheap
Comment from : Vicky Gray

DO NOT move to TN The people are clannish and will cheat you in a heartbeat In the small towns you can't find a decent bakery or restaurant Whatever you do beware of new home builders and the realtors It is definitely a BUYER BEWARE state Tennessee is a big NO NO They are loving all that fresh money though

Comment from : Willis

I have family from Mountain Home It is a beautiful area and everyone there seems pretty happy
Comment from : Miles Moore

Right, but who in their right mind wants want to live in them? If you can live there that cheaply, it is usually because nobody wants to live there The crime rate in that Georgia town is because nobody has anything that anybody would want to steal
Comment from : George Southwick

Comment from : Jason Winn

Comment from : Kay

I don’t think so Do a video on living in college towns or driving distance Your chances are better to find a part time job and not be in a cultural dessert
Comment from : Cindy Keely

Red bank Tennessee homes average $250000 not cheap!
Comment from : Deb Morley

How high is the crime rate? Is there a hospital or medical clinic? How far to drive for groceries? How often do tornadoes and flooding occur? Will I have addicts sitting on the front porch?
Comment from : VM

I love how you are able to make stats so entertaining Who knew I could become so hooked on these videos I love your sense of humor which I really makes you stand out/above similar channels

My dear Briggs, you see, a lot of us will not feel safe in southern USA but I do get the point; affordability and thank you for that
Comment from : ricitos2004

My husband and I live on this in Louisiana
Comment from : Jojo

I do not know of anyone getting anywhere near $1,600
Comment from : simone williams

I don’t see how anyone drawing $1658 Social Security can afford to pay $700 dollars in rent That only leaves them $958 a month for utilities, groceries, household supplies, gas , car insurance, medical insurance, doctor bills So how can some one live on this and pay even $700 in rent They cannot!!
Comment from : Jillxz

Woo hoo! I'm a South Carolina girl living in an Ohio world Bravo, Taylors, SC, where I and my husband lived for several years The Greenville, SC, area is beautiful, loaded with great people and great things to do Can't say I'm up on it's affordability, but I'd move back there in a heartbeat
Comment from : Jolynn Gibson

Grenada Mississippi is a lot nicer than the pics you showed You made a comment about it not having a McDonalds, which shows you don’t really know anything about the place It is located in a major interstate and has a major commercial corridor of fast food, retail, movies, Walmart, etc
Comment from : Midtown Brown Style

Comment from : Dave D

Every one of those towns would be FULL of trumpy jackwagons so no thank you
Comment from : Marilyn Tatman

This amount is to high I only get 900 a month from social security so do you know places I can live with that amount?
Comment from : Susan Leite

It's a shame that so many earn so little in retirement Much of this is unavoidable But so much is not People don't save and just make bad choices their entire working life Yeame too :) So many things I wish I could have done better yet, doing so much better than most
