Cheap, my ass. Housing is more affordable, but almost everything else is more expensive.

Lmfao my bill before tip at the bar across the street from me for two drinks and a burger is $16. In this day and age, where are you getting similar quality food and booze for that rate in the city?

Sure groceries might be 10 cents higher for a box of pasta, but the beauty of my particular rural living is being 15 minutes from a town with a Target two towns over, so if I really feel like bulk buying, I can just make the drive, it's not a huge deal. I believe there are worse areas for sure, like those talking about having to drive garbage 10 miles to the dumpster or not getting plow services or whatever. Either way, the slight grocery increase is hardly justification for paying 50% less than you would on a comparable house in the city or suburbs.

Gas is cheaper too. I go to the city every other weekend and it's always about 30-40 cents cheaper out here.
