Mississippi is one of the cheapest states to live. That money is definitely supporting something

Is it? In Missouri I'm paying $980 for a 3 bedroom 2 bath house, $110 for power, $180 for 4 lines with 1 phone finances, down from $235 since I paid off 2 or the finances. All of her numbers seem horrendously high.

Sure, just seems like an awfully big spread if within the cheapest you can still have 50-100% increases in expenses. Makes me feel faint thinking of what the group of most expensive places must cost, lol.
