And we will not be upgrading our lifestyle whatsoever just because we are moving to a lower cost of living state because the idea is to start purchasing 1-2 properties as actual investments now that we won't be stuck in California.

@Laura Romaniello You are right, It is absolutely relative and completely depends on your financial and lifestyle goals.

People really love their country lifestyles here.
