What's the cheapest state (in the US) to live in? I live in NJ & most everything is very expensive, same w/ NY & such. What's an ideal place to move that's a pretty nice area & isn't too costly? Experience preferred...

I think that would be Louisiana. There is very little private industry there other than medical or teaching. So it is the ideal place to retire. There is no property tax unless your home is valued above $150,000.
Now, you say that's not much of a house, but the reality is that the property values are much much lower in Louisiana than most other states. Many east Texas retirees move to Louisiana because of property taxes.
I am looking at retirement property back in Louisana now. Waterfront property on a pristine lake, modest three bedroom house $100,000 and best of all, no property taxes as long as I live in the house.

it depends on what you think is expensive and what is important to you. i have lived in upstate NY, Louisiana, and Mississippi. I'm currently looking for a house and have looked in all three states. i believe its true that Mississippi and Louisiana have the reputation of " cheep states " but not with everything. as an example the cost of a gallon of milk in Rochester, NY is $1.99 ( at wegmans) and in Mississippi $3.60 ( at walmart) when relocating its important to make sure you think of the small things you might take for granted are going to change. hope this helped.

California is between the costliest places to stay, fairly San Francisco. Mississippi is between the main inexpensive places. Utah might desire to be real looking in case you do no longer stay in a touristy snowboarding area. i do no longer comprehend the place you're shifting from, yet you will possibly desire to word that there are extremely some alcohol-appropriate regulations in Utah.

I live in Texas and from my knowledge it is one of the lowest cost of living states there is. For example a brand new 1,700+ sqft home, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car garage, decent yard ranges from $136,000 to $148,000.
