Cost of living in the US varies too much to give a definitive answer. In the Southeast, Midwest, and Mountain West, it's very cheap. Cost of living is closer to Eastern Europe than Western Europe.

I was able to buy a home and support my wife in school making 35k/year. I do a lot better than that now of course.

Was that like a long time ago and house prices have went up significantly then? Or are houses in the US just that cheap? :O

This was 2012 and I bought a brand new home that no one else had lived in. At the time, I lived 10 minutes away from a major university, but I lived in Louisiana. There's only very small pockets of expensive housing, everything else around in the city is very cheap. Not to mention the incredibly small property taxes.
