Known as America’s second most affordable state, even the lowest wages could very much sustain a decent life in Indiana. They have lots of outdoor attractions and cultural centers where you can channel your inner creative side when you have a big ad project coming up. Even when their wages do not really meet the national average, they sure make it up for their cheaper rent, food, and other basic services.
