Oklahoma, where the winds come sweeping down the plains, is consistently part of the cheapest states in which to live in America, mainly because of their cost of living rates. They do not skimp on job opportunities, either. It is also easy to think that life in Oklahoma looks so steady and smooth, judging only on how much their people make in their respective jobs, which usually hovers around the national average.
