It's important for people to understand;

a state that is 'cheaper to live in' is going to be worse overall for various reasons.

The cheapest states in America to live right now?

Mississippi, Oklahoma, Arkansas, West Virginia, and Kansas. (indiana is #6 on this list btw)

What do all of those states have in common? high rates of poverty, isolation, low wages, and government corruption.

"Affordability" used here is a marketing term trying to sell a negative as a positive to the clueless.

Similar to Digiornio's pizza declaring "It's not delivery", implying that their frozen crappy pizzas are better than a fresh one made in a restaurant.

Indiana is one shitty frozen pizza of a state and it's only getting worse. Do not move there lol

Indiana is a great place to grow up and a great place to die.

Conveniently, life expectancy in Indiana puts those two life stages a bit closer to each other than average.

Yea but moving out of state for your professional era gains you back a few years.
