10 Least Expensive States to Live

Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the plains. I have lived in Oklahoma and I don't care how cheap it is I don't want to go back! I love the people but not the weather!  I have lived in the second ranked state, too. Tennessee! Loved it. Go back anytime.

Now where is Kentucky? Third! Tied with Idaho but that's cause their taters are so cheap. The rest:

5. Nebraska
6. Indiana
7. (tie) Arkansas
7. (tie) Kansas
9. Texas
10. Mississippi

I have lived in Kansas on three different occasions, once in Kansas City and twice in Wichita. Give #9, born and raised in the Lone Star State and proud of it!

But this month I am starting my eighteenth year in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and buddy, it don't get no better.
