The travel time for commuting or just going downtown for dinner is shorter than many metro areas. That saves time and money (gas). Insurance is cheaper all around. The housing market remains cheaper than comparable areas too. The only negative, taxes are pretty high - you get income, sales and property taxes aplenty, so no break there.
All in all, Columbus is a low-cost city with very good amenities, though not as many as you would find in a larger city or a destination city. It is a growing city though, so things are always picking up.
If more reliable info is given it would be very very useful for others to decide what is the minimum salary to be earned per month so as to survive in Columbus.
Kindly look in to these aspects for practical viability.with credibility as well
My best regards to all concerned.
