I want a simple life, with low cost living. Right now my rent is about 40 percent of my income.

Wow if rent is 40% and your taxes run 20-30% you are working for the government and your landlord. that sucks.
I'm beginning to believe the "best" place to live in America is outside our boundaries and the tax mans reach.
Peace

Try Clemson, SC. Rural area, major university with lots of things (sports, concerts, etc at the university) and great housing prices (assuming your profession can get you a job there). Two nice lakes nearby if you like fishing. Not far from (under an hour) to the mountains and the Blue Ridge Parkway). Under two hours to the Great Smokey Mountains. Just over a couple of hours to HotLanta, Ga. Couple of hours to Charlotte, NC. About 4 hours to the beach.
Great climate, mild winters and summers bearable!!!

The midwest. There is nothing cheaper than The Dakota's, Iowa, or Kansas. And just think every thing is 3 hours away, by plane. NYC - LA all 3 hours. And a 4 bedroom 2 bath will run you about $200,000. And low crime rate.

A simple life, low cost, I'd say the central states, Arkansas, Missouri.

What matters first is if you have transferrable skills so that you can earn a living wherever you move to.
The South is nice and affordable but not so slow that we all have a banjo on our knee.

San Diego and surrounding areas. They have trolleys for transportation, and outside the city is inexpensive. The weather is great.
