#10 Oklahoma City

Striking our list at number ten with Oklahoma City, it is actually not a city that you should put on the back burner if you’re used to living in a big town. Being Oklahoma State’s capital city, you know it will be bustling with activity, but out of the average monthly spending of $1,725, you will find yourself paying more for healthcare than anything else.

While rent is higher, coming up to about $830, it’s actually not that bad considering everything. After all, the healthcare costs come in at more than half of the rent, at $506. You should keep that in mind if you plan on moving there, but the city is beautiful, so we know you will have a lot of fun things to do.

    All red states. I’d rather pay more and live in a blue state where women have rights and the LBGTQ community is welcome.

    You have got to be kidding. Every city has either hot and humid summers, or freezing winters, which drives up utility costs, and is not outdoor friendly. I grew up in Illinois and I have no desire to go back to that weather or tornadoes! I guess I’ll stay in Coastal Oregon, where the climate is mild and the ocean and forests are breathtaking for a senior outdoor lover! Even with a high cost of living.

    This list is good but one very important thing left out is the crime rate per city. That has a lot to do with where you decide to live especially if a more mature adult.

    You’re Kidding, Right. Are you promoting Texas? Oklahoma, really. This must be a joke. There is only one city I would even want to visit on this list. We will stay in the Pacific Northwest with our lush, green country sides, our beautiful lakes, our four seasons, and our great people who embrace diversity.

    Funny people in blue states believe media lies about red states not accepting *certain* communities. Fact is, they accept ALL communities, even liberals. Blue states pick & choose groups “worthy” of their social justice attention, not realizing irony of continued failed results (as seen here) by socializing ineffective government to FORCE inequity. How arrogant. Yes, inequity when assuming certain groups are unable to achieve without their assistance. If blue state govern officials get richer after raising taxes, how is their campaigned for social programs working for y’all? Red states take care of their own, with a smile, regardless of color, orientation, or potential ability to manipulate votes from. That’s why so many have left blue states for red…turn off CBS news & find out for yourselves!
