I always get asked why I live in Pittsburgh & what I like about living here! You obviously knew I was going to say affordability but there’s a few layers to this. Living in a low(er) cost of living city 1) allows me to live without roommates and 2) frees up room in my budget to go on trips to those higher cost of living cities or just travel in general. But second, & I think an often overlooked point, is that Pittsburgh is affordable for ME because I’ve lived here my whole life & I don’t feel the need to go live right in the most popular areas! If I moved to a new city & didn’t know anyone I’d definitely want to live right in the city center or wherever would give me the most opportunities to meet new people & that would make me pay a premium no matter what city I moved to! #personalfinanceforwomen #moneytipsforwomen #howtobudget
