I thought Arizona would be cheaper than California. Registering a car is cheaper, but insurance is about double!! Sales and restaurant taxes are higher. but buying an actual home and land is way cheaper, at least in mohave county.
Not paying taxes to the corrupt government of California is also a plus, so I guess we'll stay here for now 😅😎
if you're not tied to AZ, try Texas or Tennessee. Cheaper cost of living all around, including car insurance
We've been in both and no thank you. The driver's in Tennessee are crazy and oblivious to other cars, and I like to be alive 😅
Texas is really flat, and humid, and not really for us.
Plus, my husband's family is all on the west coast, and we want some distance, but preferably 1-2 days drive and not 3+, and we got land in AZ for $5000, and we don't do debt, so for that reason it's great!
Also, AZ are at least contemplating a bitcoin reserve, so that's pretty cool.
