I see that the tax foundation says Georgia is $108, but there is a huge caveat. I've lived in Georgia the past 8 years. I've lived in both middle of no where and currently live in Atlanta. The value of $100 is vastly different between those two areas. Georgia is mostly rural, except for Atlanta. My old apartment, 1 bedroom a bath, I can still rent for $575 a month. Lakeside view with a pool, 10 minutes from work. Anyone reading this, most likely will be moving to Atlanta. The COLA is still cheap, but understand the caveat.

Meanwhile, I grew up in Florida, where it says $100 is pretty much $100. There are lots of major cities in Florida and cost of living is more distributed.
