#1 The cheapest city to live in! Shreveport, Louisiana

Out of all the cities that we have looked at, the little town of Shreveport in good ole’ Louisiana is the cheapest to live in!

The monthly expenditure comes out to less than $1,500, which is the smallest amount out of all the cities we presented here and the only one that is actually under $1,500! Not only that, but the average monthly amount people in Shreveport spend on groceries only comes out to about $350, which makes it the most affordable city!

When it comes to renting, it’s just the second best, but with the average rent coming out to $730 a month, it’s still a deal to move here if you ask us!

Find out more about how selling these things from your home can help you raise more money for your retirement fund!

    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!
