While we can't predict the future, we can certainly be prepared for it. By choosing an affordable home in this part of the state, you're freeing up funds to stock up on canned goods, build a bunker, and invest in necessary survival gear. If you are used to bustling streets know that this city houses about 10,000 people so don't get confused when you come out of your bunker and see emptier streets than you are used to. It's not the rapture the city just started smaller, however, when the great apocalypse does come you'll be thanking yourself for being financially savvy.

Purchasing a home in this city is going to free up a lot of cash for travel. You can finally go see Mt. Rushmore, the Alamo, or even that biggest ball of twine (It's located in Darwin Minnesota). I included more domestic travel because your new home won't be too near to an international airport, but if you like to brag about leaving the state it will help that this city is near the Utah-Colorado border.
