But in many cities in the United States you do not need to choose. GOBankingRates collected data from cities where the average annual salary is high and the cost of living is low.

To determine the best cities GOBankingRates compares the average annual income with the average monthly living expenses in each region, taking into account the average rental prices, groceries and utilities, using data from Zillow, Numbeo and the US Census Bureau.

The list is dominated by cities in the South and Midwest, such as Dallas and Omaha. Oklahoma City ranked first with an average annual income of $ 72 385 and an annual expenditure of $ 18 701. This means that you will have more than $ 53 000 per year for investment.
