54k is barely a living wage these days. You CAN live on it, but you can't expect to start a family or buy a house or achieve anything resembling The American Dream.

Depends on where you live. Some parts of America are dirt cheap, including housing. Although those areas typically have shit wages too.

Shit wages, shit school systems, shitheel neighbors. Like I said, far from the "American Dream".

Yep you definitely answered it right there.

Sure it's cheap, but there's no local opportunities and might be a desert for quality food. Much of rural United States is still not covered by (reliable / affordable) broadband, either.

Dirt cheap places have dirt cheap wages.
