Midwest my friend. St. Louis area to be exact. Cost of living around here is nice and low. Like I said, we don't have a ton of nice things but it pays the bills and then some.

I'm amazed when traveling to see how much more things cost on the East Coast or California. Take homes for example. A nice, 3 to 4 bedroom home in a good school district in the area is rarely above $250k around here. Go out to the west coast and that house could cost $800k or more.
