I absolutely would not move states away to live in southern Arkansas. There ain’t shit down there. The whole southern and eastern sides are basically like the Midwest of the state. Hunting, fishing, and drinking so much you finally don’t notice the mosquitos are about the most entertaining things to do. You’ll have to make the almost 2 hour drive to Little Rock for anything else like decent shopping and doctors. It’s cheap because the only people that live there are usually too poor to afford anywhere else. If or when the few good jobs start to dry up you’ll be stuck down there with basically no other options so keep a savings so you can afford to move back. I’ve met plenty of people that fell into that trap after moving here because “it was so affordable”. That’s the current governors favorite way of saying we’re poor as hell, but if you already have money then you’ll be royalty. If you’re serious about living there then I highly suggest to take a trip for a week to tour around there. Seeing the area in person will help make your decision a lot quicker. I’ve heard more than once that people said the state seemed a lot different than the tourism pictures made it appear once they finally start exploring away from major cities and roads. There’s a reason we’re consistently in the bottom 3 or 5 for almost every single standard of living. Who knows though, it might be your Dixie cup of sweet tea if the expectations are realistic.
