Burger from /g/ here, work told us last week we are moving WFH as our building lease expires. Only requirement is we have to stay in the USA, 85k/yr no debt to speak of 30y/o single.
I have no debt to speak of but don't have too much in savings ~20k, looking to move from my high cost of living area(west coast) was thinking Texas since they don't have income tax. I don't own too much stuff and was thinking selling it or giving it away, but not sure how to travel and stay in places to see if I like it. I'd like some place with all 4 seasons if possible, never lived in a place that gets proper snow. Pretty much a nerd so social life isn't a big deal for me but I would like something with decent food and bars.
Guess my question is, what's the best way to find a place on the cheap. Any sites that can give overall tax burdens and cost of living? Mainly looking to build up around 100k in savings before I figure out what to do next. I kind of want to YOLO to Houston as I hear that's the next up and coming but not sure, apartment prices seem so low compared to LA. Is there a hotel chain that does long stays for cheap to get a feel for the area first?

craigslist rent a room to sample the area for cheap. if you want to buy a house get your real estate license (it's not that hard) so you can access the listings directly and not have to pay an agent. imo college towns have the best balance of cost of living while still having women to fuck
places where you need to drive are kind of fool's gold because owning a car is a big ongoing expense

nobody wants commiefornian faggots moving to their town, so you won't get any recommendations from me. Yeah sure, pick fucking Houston of all places to live, you deserve it.

Just move to midwest if you want seasons and lower costs of living

And you haven't tried dumping your requirements into an AI and iterating through it's suggestions with your feedback? You know what you're looking for better than we do and it will be more constructive for you to argue with the computer than us

How much do you save in a year? Are you asking this four or five years out from it being a thing?
I make 75k, but can't seem to save more than like 15k/year without living miserably.
