I work remotely, so I can do my job from anywhere. Cost of living is cheap in Mississippi, and I would save considerably even factoring in the cost for private school for my kids.
I still would never move to Mississippi.
Nope, you live in a society.
Try working at home with unreliable power or water.
Try driving many tens of minutes to the nearest store on crumbling roads.
Retail employees and utility service employees will decline in their education.
Many people will lose their homes and live on the streets. You might have to move to a gated community, and pay for private police patrols.
There will be more fires as people live in the woods and need to cook or stay warm.
Doctors will leave the state when patients can't pay, so hope you don't get sick. You'll have to live close to a way to get out of state for medical care.
Private school will become scarce and more expensive as teachers leave the state.
“Cheap place to live” is just another way of saying “I figured out how to pass my costs on to others.”
Good point!
