Ways in which the Deep South is a giant bargain

Not sure if you folks saw this nice chart on Business Insider, but it shows how much $100 is actually worth in each state based on goods and services you're able to purchase.

Aside from Hawaii and DC, the worst states are New York and California - I don't know why anyone would even consider living in these gaudy cesspools of salary theft. Needless to say, it's no surprise at all that the big winners are Mississippi, Alabama, and Arkansas. So folks put on your britches and pack a couple copies of the good book and journey far beyond the Mason Dixon line...financial heaven is only a caravan ride away.

I think NYC is a ripoff, but you couldn't pay me to live in the south. I'm way too afraid the stupidity a day religiousness would infect me like a Hillbilly ebola.

I'll take Chicago, Denver, Philadelphia, Boston, Minneapolis over Richmond, Charlotte, and Raleigh any day.

1.) TNA has a reputation for funny but offensive jokes (ala South Park). If he has not yet offended you you should feel offended.

2.) There are a lot of smart southerners, and I think the charicature is a little unfair, but you people do need to get your house in order. I'm sorry but a bunch of angry John Birch Society members without GEDs (gubmint conspiracy) should not be allowed to dictate our nation's education policy by virtue of screaming and hollering at the top of their lungs. There are John Birchers everywhere; my beloved Midwest probably had the biggest concentration after the Deep South and the loonier parts of Montana, but the South has a whole lot more of them.

This is incredibly frustrating to watch for people with college educations with white collar tech, engineering, and quant jobs who pay taxes that winds up funding the teaching of Answers in Genesis rather than Evolution in public schools. You're free to believe that the earth is 7000 years old- natural history makes a set of assumptions and we should state them to kids- just please don't go running around claiming that there's a big socialist atheist conspiracy by scientists to lie to your children. Because if you do, we have the right to laugh at you.

This is not a rant on Southerners, Christians, or Republicans. This is a rant on the people running around with angry signs accusing Republicans of socialism who believe science is a conspiracy theory. But these three groups (of which I am sometimes a member of two) could do everyone a huge favor if we would simply point and laugh at the angry sign people rather than getting all worried about whether we are Republican enough or Conservative enough.

3.) As for me I would choose WI, MI, IL, or maybe IN or OH over the Deep South. It's worth the extra 10% to live in a state where the moderate Republicans are still kinda in charge, there is a strong commitment by parents and the general public to education (and the church) and we have excellent public and private universities.

 
Best Response

agree with this.

also want to add (this part isn't directed at you dingdong) there's a huge difference in feel between Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh (never been to Nashville) and the rest of the south, South Carolina is like the deep south, parts of GA are more metropolitan and less backward. small towns in NC/VA are very backward, but there are pockets that are developed/don't feel southern (example: there are more yankees living in Williamsburg VA than there are Virginians), my point is everywhere is different, just like Vermont is different from the rest of New England which is very different from NY which is different from PA. the trouble if you've never visited the bigger cities in the south is that they're adjacent to small "deliverance" type towns, and so everyone thinks cities like those are the same as wherever Bob Jones U. is, it's just not the case.

not putting myself out there as an expert because aside from camping and random trips, I've only spent significant time in large southern cities, but I think this argument boils down to the fact that if you've never visited a place, you're going to assume it's like the stereotype. the same could be said about someone who's never been to upstate NY. to a southerner, it's all NYC, when really there's tons of farmland up there that during the summer would look like parts of south carolina moreso than the Big Apple (except during winter, we don't get snow). if you've spent some time really seeing these cities and still say "fuck it," you're entitled to your opinion, just make sure you've done your homework. prime example: I thought I'd hate NYC as an adult, I absolutely love it. I would visit 10 times a year if I had the time, I just would prefer not to live there. it became a great place once I gave it a chance, and I think many of you would feel the same about the south.

as an aside, if anyone's ever coming down to the southeast on business, PM me, happy to show you around if you're in my neck of the woods or happy to give recommendations on things to do if you're not nearby.

While I agree that high COL places suck sometimes, they also tend to have the high paying jobs. I can't imagine there are many high paying and interesting jobs in Jackson MS and outside of getting really good shrimp and grits there, there's not much to do. And like @tna fears, those places are the heart of the Bible Belt. Call me a snobby heathen coastie but it's different down there. I've been to probably a thousand business dinners and I never once prayed before a meal until I was in Jackson.

Hell, I live in Atlanta and would never in a million years pack up and move to Jackson, MS.

Sure the smaller cities/towns in Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, and North Carolina are straight out of Deliverance and would terrify the shit out of any rational human. I wouldn't discount the larger regions of Charlotte, Nashville, Atlanta, Raleigh, etc., though - you'd have to look pretty hard for the snake handling Pentecostal congregations.

 

Somalia has a low cost of living also. Sorry brah, I'll pay a few basis points to screw women with all their teeth and who don't think getting married at 23 is life's goal.

I suppose I could move down south and create WallmartOasis for all the low COL financiers.

 

if you think Charlotte Richmond and Raleigh are like that then it's clear you haven't visited. I completely agree, in the less developed parts of the south there's nothing but ghettos, white trash, and girls going to community college to get their Mrs. so they can marry Bobby Joe when he makes assistant manager at Roses, but the bigger cities are just not like that. maybe I misinterpreted, but I think you have a twisted view of those 3 cities, but either way, I agree with the rest of your post.

edit: no one in their right mind who's interested in finance would ever choose to live in the deep south, so I think the OP's argument is a bit silly to begin with.

 

Dude, I am from California and brought these stereotypes with me when i got stationed in North Carolina. I am sooooooooo glad people think this way, keeps the coastal area in NC awesome and more sparsely populated.

I didn't have religion thrown in my face, that part just lol.

 

Guys, this shit is cracking me up. I'm imagining people riding pigs to work and shit Haha.

I'm sure the metro's down south are fine, I just think the career limits are really bad all things considered. And realistically, your big savings is on rent. I mean outside of NYC food is normally priced and rent is way less expensive. I've seen comp apartments to what I live in for maybe $500 per month less in really tiny metro's. Taxes outside of Florida won't move the needle. So you're really moving way outside of a financial center so save what, $6-10k a year at best. Not to mention the fact you need a car which you don't need in most northern cities.

I suppose if you hate the cold, fine, but you're super limited and need to travel to interview. Not worth it IMO.

 

IMO, wealth management down south is the play. Tons of money and relationship driven. Low overhead so you can keep costs down as you build up. Go to UVA, get a private banking gig at a big bank, work for a while and build up your resume and then put up a shingle.

I'd probably pick a southern place close to other places. Like a metro transformer. Richmond would get your DC. Atlanta would get your Jax. Charlottes good on its own and is a US Air hub. You go outside those cities and you're really an island.

Same can be said about other Midwest cities though. If you're from those places and have family there, I can see the draw. But actively trying to go there is tough. My buddy works in ER at BB&T in Richmond and interviewing anywhere is a pain in the ass.

 

I live in Richmond and would have a really hard time living anywhere further South/smaller. Richmond is close enough to DC to be somewhat relevant and I think you would be surprised how much less "southern" it is here even compared to Raleigh. On the other hand, if i could make six figures in Charleston, SC...that's a different story.

 

Maryland's one of the more liberal states in the country, so wouldn't consider it deep south. While it does have some rednecky parts, it definitely doesn't compare to the other stereotypical southern states

Next stop: Flavortown!
 

I'd have to go with Florida. If I'm going to live in bumblefuck land, I definitely need tropical beaches. I'm not talking Miami, Boca, Naples, etc. that are full of rich Northerners. I'm talking about like Pensacola or Panama City.

The south would probably be a nice place if we could convince the freepers that some nuclear war was happening and they spent the next 60 years living in their bomb shelters.

I grew up in Auburn, Alabama, and while it is tiny compared to a lot of cities in the US, I would move back there in a second if I could. Certain pockets of Alabama and Georgia are real gems and are a great place to raise your family, but not necessarily a good place to find jobs in finance. The best bets in spots like that are PWM and maybe some smaller corporate finance roles as a controller or something like that. There are good FP&A positions with different manufacturing companies, but the pay is somewhat limited due to the decreased cost of living. If you've never been to places like Chattanooga, Huntsville, Auburn, Athens, the "suburbs" of Birmingham, and the other sides of the bay from Mobile (Fairhope, Daphne, Spanish Fort) then you are missing out. Great golf, great food, mostly good people, and a much lower cost of living. Yes the south has its inbred areas, but some of these smaller towns are excellent areas. Great schools, too. The one thing that most people don't realize about Alabama is that it has by far the lowest property tax in the US. There is a ton of extremely wealthy landowners that have a lot of $$$ to invest. I know a few of them, and you would never know it looking at their lifestyles. Yes, they are well off, but they don't live in insanely expensive houses, and usually drive Tahoes and such. My wife has lived all over Florida, in Houston, and Atlanta, and has said that she would move back to Auburn in a second if the job opportunities were better. If any of you monkeys want to come down this fall for an AU football game, I'd be more than happy to play host.

Alabama has the lowest property taxes because they Fuck over low income schools lol.

Guys, have any of you watched true blood? All I need to know about the south.

I forgot to mention, Alabama is also capital of the KKK. Southern bigots are the reason I pay $4K/month for a 400 sq ft studio apartment. I stay far away from good weather. I'm an idiot.

IlliniProgrammer:

TNA I thought you were a fiscal conservative??

I am, at the federal level, but schools need to be paid for somehow. I don't support jacking up property taxes so kids can have new football fields and I pads, but keeping property taxes low as a backdoor to Fuck minorities is kind of fucked up.

I suppose it's cause I'm a Yankee I just don't understand, y'all.

 

I'm not saying that extremely low property taxes are a great idea or anything, just saying that when in Rome... I don't think anyone could argue that it isn't a situation to make the rich richer, but I'd be damned if I didn't take advantage of a situation like that. Look at Robinson Cano. He left NYC for a few different reasons, but he will end up making far more money in Seattle, and get to keep more. Taxation is definitely a disincentive for people like me when trying to figure out where I want to settle. I'm sure it is a matter of perspective. I've been to most of the lower 48, and I would take Auburn over most places. It truly is a rarity to see so many people moving back to their hometown. Most can't wait to get out, but a ton of my friends are moving back from places like Chicago, Seattle, Denver, etc.

And for the record, most states have their "issue" areas. Look at Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, etc. Yes Chicago and other parts are nice, but even after I had lived in Alabama for 24 years I had never seen a trailer built on stilts until I drove through southern Illinois.

"Decide what to be and go be it." - The Avett Brothers
 

I'm just breaking balls Haha. My whole gripe with the south is lack of jobs in finance. I personally love living in a big city and not having to drive so down south isn't what I want. If someone likes it, cool.

 

I know you are. I've had people say worse than your posts to my face about Alabama. The lack of finance jobs is annoying for me, too. My biggest gripe is the people that choose to be a product of their environment that live in the south. People tell me all the time that I don't act or sound like I'm from Alabama. I don't have a drawl, and I still hold the door open for people/give up my chair, but I don't feel like you have to let a stereotype become a reality for you. I get so sick of hearing senators and southerners in general that sound like they stepped out of a 1950's newscast about civil rights suppression. I received the same education they did, and I try my best to at least "sound" intelligent when I meet people that aren't from the south.

My hang glider in upstate NY was first stored in a dilapidated trailer home, now a corrugated metal shipping crate, both in this junkyard owned by a guy who runs a hang gliding business, drives a bus, and sells scrap metal.

I don't judge people based on poverty. I judge based on how much your stupidity or craziness hurts me. If you are a freeper, your craziness/stupidity is contributing to global warming, preventing scientific development, and nearly caused a federal default. At the very least you should be ashamed enough of yourself to do us all a favor and go get a GED.

 

I agree that there are some right wingers that speak about things that they have no actual knowledge about. However, look at both sides of the equation. There are lefties and righties that shouldn't be allowed to vote. It's time that we considered a vote a "weapon of mass destruction" when there are so many uninformed people casting votes based on crazy conspiracies, or because someone is or isn't a specific skin color. Most of the people that vote in this country can't name a US senator, or explain key aspects of our government's makeup. There was a great article earlier this year where some pollsters asked hundreds of students at American University if they could name a US senator, and only one could. They also asked students at NYU who Janet Yellen was, and only one actually knew, even though she was their commencement speaker. There's just a complete lack of awareness by Americans, but dammit, protect their vote! I get annoyed when people regurgitate what the media says about candidates that are on the other side of their beliefs, but can't even tell you a good reason that they voted for their candidate. Our government IS screwed up, so one should expect some level of dissidence when you see so much corruption and fiscal irresponsibility. I do get annoyed when some moron redneck in the south drives a jacked up truck that gets 2 mpg just because he "can", but I get even more angry when I see liberal leadership at the EPA instituting guidelines and policies that end up hurting the environment more than helping it, and placing a drag on our economy. It goes both ways. Morons are everywhere.

Pretty sure carbon regulations on coal plants are helping the environment.

Also I'm not against natural gas fracking in TX if that is what the residents want, but I don't want it in the state of IL until we have a good 15-20 years of TX being the guinea pig. Fortunately this is a state issue.

My take is that the EPA creates a lot of red tape and moves slower than it ought to, but generally does the right thing most of the time.

Frankly I don't think our government is as screwed up as people claim it is. Our government is screwed up because we still have a few remnants of 1960s-70s liberalism, because we have a few remnants of Bush era crony capitalism, and because the right wing crazies want the US to default.

But environmental protection, scientific research, and paying our bills through income tax aren't big government liberalism- they're common sense things that governments have been doing for hundreds and hundreds of years. European monarchs offered rewards for new technology and would sponsor academies to do research and teach. They'd pass edicts about where cattle could graze in the commons to prevent erosion. Up until about 40 years ago these authorities were well recognized by even the craziest of right-wingers as the legitimate business of government.

The government needs reform, not cuts.

 

Carbon regulations on coal plants in the US are actually harming the environment. When there are emissions restrictions on steel plants and coal fired plants in the United States, where do you think the demand for the services these facilities provide ends up going? Overseas. When a steel plant in the US is shut down due to EPA restrictions, this doesn't change the global demand for steel in the world. The quantity supplied just shifts to a different location, usually China. Chinese steel mills emit 3-4 times the the pollution of US mills. When there isn't a move to globally regulate carbon emissions, the shut downs in developed nations (namely the US) end up just creating situations where global production stays the same to meet quantity demanded, but production shifts to countries that truly don't give a damn about our environment. The idea of getting some new technology to replace coal, gas, etc. is great, but there isn't enough to come close to meeting today's global demands. The EPA acts as if they are helping, but pollution actually increases with some of their regulations. There are actually groups of scientists in the US that are against many of the EPA's regulations because of their lack of logic when global pollution, not US pollution, is the issue.

Also, I get what you are saying about enviro protection, research and income tax being necessary parts of govt. Not arguing against that, but I don't think that I should pay a different % of income in taxes depending on how much I make. I've always believed (even when I was broke) that I should pay a set % of my pay in taxes whether I make one dollar or a million dollars. I've never understood the "fair share" argument when there are so many people in our country that use government, but don't pay in any taxes. Seems to me that there are people bypassing paying their fair share on both ends of the income scale.

Sure but overall coal consumption decreases. The US is one of the world's biggest exporters and producers of coal, and coal mining, surprise surprise, has been decreasing concomitant with a reduction in demand for coal in the US.

One important feature of CO2 regulation is that China announced similar regulations at almost exactly the same time as us. We're the two largest economies in the world, and if we work together with Europe (who is always on board with regulating co2) we can force other countries to limit co2 emissions via trade.

Now, is production going overseas? Maybe. Probably not. The US has a huge glut of electricity right now due to low natural gas prices. Shutting down the coal plants means less competition for the nuclear plants, which also happen to have lower operating costs than coal. And when demand comes back and the grid readjusts to get power from supply to demand, those nuclear reactors will be producing 8% of the US supply of energy with no CO2 emissions. Recognizing that CO2 is a negative externality and joining forces with the world's largest economies to tax it (both domestic emissions and foreign through trade) still leaves a few loopholes but imposes huge constraints on CO2 emissions growth.

With domestic natural gas prices so cheap, with wind energy more cost-effective than coal, I don't have a problem with the federal government recognizing some of coal's negative externalities and accelerating the shutdown of the industry (simply in a way that fairly recognizes negative externalities on a global level)

 

Maybe the problem is that nobody can agree on what good governance is and everyone wants to complain and protest.

Clive Bundy is no different than those liberal protesters who moved to Iraq in 2003 to act as human shields. A public shaming campaign against the vocal anti-science and anti-government folks would apply 1/3 as much pressure to the far right as was applied to the far-left in the run-up to the Iraq war. There won't be Free Speech zones and abridgements of first and fourth amendment rights- there will simply be lots of laughter.

 

Have any of you guys ever been to Charleston...? I think you northern guys would be very pleasantly surprised at how nice parts of the South can be, especially on the Atlantic coast (Charleston, Charlottesville, Savannah etc). Don't sling mud until you visit - this coming from a guy who grew up north of the Mason-Dixon and lives on the West Coast currently.

 

Charleston and Savannah are both great towns. I have a friend that owns a coffee roasting business in Savannah. We've been up there a few times and it is really nice. Definite income disparity, but seems like both would be good places to live. There are also a few small finance firms in both places. Lots of old money...

Man, as much as I bitch about the high COL of NYC, you cannot pay me enough money to live in the deep south. As an ivy league educated minority who is an atheist, I fear for my safety if I ever lived in that region of the country. Being surrounded by Jesus freaks, racists, rednecks, and women who get married at age 22, is not my idea of a good time.

The Deep South is dirt cheap for a reason. There are very few high paying jobs, and successful well-educated people don't want to live there.
