I've lived in really cheap places in the US (think Mississippi, but at least not the Delta), and I still don't see it. Yes, you could get a trailer in the middle of the boonies and burn your trash in a barrel, I had friends living like that, BUT is that really living? Let's forget about Doordash and $8 cups of coffee when even going to the grocery store is going to set you back one or two hundred a week. And that's not even counting future inflation, that has to be offset on gains in the $2 million nest egg, and if you are retiring at 40 and have kids...uhm, you won't be able to pay for their college.
