Do you have a job already?

Just my opinion but the less far you are in your career the more I'd recommend flexibility.
Your expenses should be low regardless of where you are, even in NYC I spend less than $2500 all in on bills monthly, which is about the same as I spent in Philly. The difference is I can make much more being here than there.

Disabled. Just doordash etc. currently, trying to get into IT/CS not only because I enjoy it, but because of my disabilities.

Ah, okay. Yeah then, I'd be really flexible about where you apply whether it be low, medium or high cost of living.

Basically though I need to choose a place before getting a job.
Right now I do not have my own place

So I'm trying to choose a location that gives me good odds lol, but without high CoL because I don't have a good job already

Why do you need to choose somewhere before getting a job?
solemn valve
Because I need a place to live, and the odds of me getting a job very soon are near-zero.

Can you live with your parents till you find a job? Signing a lease is the opposite of what I'd recommend right now
solemn valve
No. One is dead, the other is in a retirement home.
Do you have any suggestions as far as cities where I might be better off than Indy?
solemn valve
I'm not limited to the midwest 🙂
