Montana Mountain Town Makes List For Most Affordable In The U.S.

Living in Montana certainly comes at a price; normally, that price is the high housing cost.

In the last few years, home prices and rent have skyrocketed, which has made it difficult for many Montanans to make ends meet, especially when you consider that the cost of groceries, utilities, and everything else has seemed to increase. At the same time, most Montanan's salaries haven't kept pace with the rising costs.

This of course has led to many locals making tough decisions when it comes to not only their present situations but future ones as well.
