Hello, friends!

Today I decided to talk about how Americans live in the cheapest and most expensive US states. And is it true that in Texas even minors carry weapons, and in California the largest number of homeless people?

Texas

Let's start our journey with Texas, which many associate with unbearable heat, cowboy boots and Mexican cuisine. And personally, I also have with the film “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.”

The state of Texas is the cheapest state in America, which was an independent state until 1845. I note that many to this day consider themselves residents of a separate country and every third car displays the “lone star” flag. And almost every Texan has a car, because it is a necessity. Every day people have to travel huge distances, so every child receives a car as a gift on their 16th birthday.

Indeed, Mexican cuisine predominates in this state. However, over time, it changed under the influence of the American and now it is called “Tex-Mex”. Most of all here they love a barbecue, which is arranged for every occasion and without it, and Texas chili is considered the perfect complement to a juicy steak. By the way, the first hamburger was prepared here.

NASA’s space center and Boeing’s headquarters are located in the cowboy’s state, and 32% of the country's black gold is mined. Here, the cheapest housing in America: for example, renting a one-room apartment will cost you $ 1000 per month. And you can buy luxury apartments for $ 200.

The minimum wage starts at $ 8 per hour, and a full meal will cost you $ 45 for two. Most locals give 10% of their profits to churches.

What else can you say about Texans? They love football. It is customary here to build huge school stadiums, sparing no expense. And half of the citizens carry weapons, because they like to collect them. Most girls under 18 can handle a shotgun with ease. The most common animals are bats.

It's also true that Texans' favorite footwear is cowboy boots. They are worn in any weather and at any time of the year. Despite the fact that clothes here are quite cheap, you will have to pay about $500 for high-quality boots. But it's worth it. And the heat here is really not for the weak. Sometimes you can’t hide from her even at night. Long live air conditioners!

California

Now discuss life in the most expensive state of the United States. Here, as in Texas, it is customary to drive your own car. However, the climate is more sparing, and the beach and the ocean can not leave indifferent any traveler.

California has a mixed cuisine (American, Mexican and Asian). The most common dishes are tacos and burritos, and of course, seafood, a lot of seafood. In addition, this state is the birthplace of McDonald's.

But life is really more expensive. The minimum wage is $11 per hour. Renting a small apartment will cost you $1500 per month. Lunch: $65 for two. A family with an income below $52 is considered low-income and receives government assistance.

Despite social assistance and charitable work in California, the homeless population is incredibly high: 26% of all US strollers! They sleep on the sidewalks and build tents on the beaches. Assistance in the amount of $ 714 is not enough to pay for expensive housing.

Most of the unemployed and homeless are Americans who lost their housing by court order because they could not pay for it as a result of rising prices, as well as foster children who ran away onto the streets.

What else interesting can you tell about this state? California is the most diverse American state, and the entire California coast is a national monument. The tallest tree in the world grows here (115 m), and in the town of Livermore there is an incandescent lamp that has been burning for more than 100 years.

There is a huge amount of entertainment, developing IT-technology, aviation industry and agriculture.
