Cost of Living

This is very INACCURATE. You can NOT find a decent house for $79,000 in this area unless it is a mobile home/trailer. I looked for 6 months and could NOT find a house in that range..at all (that did NOT have major structural issues or was totally outdated...and needed $10,000-20,000 in work upfront). Furthermore, "cost of living" websites state that my "living expenses" should be 20-22% CHEAPER in this area versus Dallas, Tx. That said, after living here for 6 months, I can STATE..that the COSTS to live here are in fact the SAME, if not HIGHER than in Dallas. If my "living expenses" total $2000/month, then I should be able to "save/bank" $400 a month..and that is NOT the case at all. Food, internet, tv, utilities are THE SAME... Sherman must pay people to write these articles.....
