Just found this interesting breakdown of the cheapest east coast states to live in, and some of these prices are wild compared to what people usually expect. Like, Greenwood, South Carolina is sitting at around $30k annual cost of living — groceries are actually cheaper than the national average too. Then you've got Waycross, Georgia at $32k, and Jamestown, New York under $32k. Pretty solid options if you're thinking about relocating somewhere affordable on the east coast. The Florida cities are decent too if you care about weather, though not as cheap as Georgia or South Carolina. Dover, Delaware caught my eye because of that no sales tax thing, though housing there runs about $302k median. If you're seriously considering one of the cheapest east coast states, the data shows you can get comfortable living without the crazy costs of Boston or New York. Healthcare and groceries vary by location though — some places are pricier on those specifics. Worth checking out if you're doing any real estate research or just curious about where your money stretches furthest.
