Last year, it was reported on the fact that Florida has not just one, but two of the best cities to retire on a fixed budget, according to a study from GoBankingRates.com. Now, in searching for more affordable living spots throughout the U.S., it appears Florida also has two the best cities to live on $1,500 – or even less – a month, whether you’re retired or not. Surprised? We’ll explain.

The staff at MindYourDollars.com has conducted a study to find the best cities in the U.S. to live on a budget of $1,500 a month. “Realistically, living on a budget of $1,500 a month is possible, you just need to be in the right place,” they state in the study. “We’ve compiled 30 cities in the United States where citizens can keep their total monthly expenditures down to $1500 or less. Don’t confuse affordability with boring, though. These cities still have plenty to keep you entertained and enjoying life.”

So, which Florida cities made the cut? Well, there are two. One is about 90 minutes north of Tampa. This article was originally written by Beasley Detroit staffer Anne Erickson.
