10. Georgia - $62,074

We think most people looking at this will think 'yes, that seems about right.' Georgia is not, by anybody's measure, an expensive state to live in. All of our stated guide prices are higher than you might see elsewhere because we factor in the 20% that we all know we should be saving, so if you take that out of the equation, the cost drops even lower. You can house yourself for a little less than $11,000 per year in George, and feed yourself for less than $7,000.

People like to call Georgia the 'Peach State,' but by rights, it should really be either the 'Onion State' or the 'Peanut State' - both of which we suppose are rather unflattering nicknames to have to live with! The onions produced in Georgia are thought to be among the sweetest in the world, and if you visit the town of Ashburn, you can have your picture taken with the world's biggest peanut.

Did You Know...

Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.

So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.

Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
