Somewhat to my surprise a healthy handful of subscribers had not-so-nice things to say in response to my foray into the places where homes are relatively affordable in the United States.
So much so that I had to clarify, pointing out that the initial list was merely objective. It absolutely contains some certified hellholes. However, there are also places where you can plop down less than half a million bucks for a nice crib in an already solid or up-and-coming neighborhood.
No doubt, my objective list and subsequent observations represent a mere surface scratch of the hellholes and livable areas.
The last thing I want to do is offend anyone by calling their hometown or where they presently reside a hellhole. Itâs one thing for me to say it about where Iâm from. Itâs entirely another to trash where somebody else is from.
That said, I write in a straightforward fashion.
So, today, I offer my perspective on whyâwhen you add up all the rows and columnsâAmerica isnât quite a total hellhole, but itâs certainly no longer the place for me.
Call it how I really feelâfor me. Because whatâs for me isnât necessarily for you. Which is why I frequently detail more-than-viable options on housing and other money-related matters that I donât exercise. Thatâs part of being appropriately straightforward as part of a communityâunderstanding that your way isnât the only way.
