The Money Guy Show would not be successful without our move to Nashville, TN. It has provided us with business and financial opportunities, a great quality of life, educational opportunities for our families, and access to a host of creative people who have made the show what it is today.

There are a myriad of good reasons we end up living where we do, but have you ever stopped to consider how a certain U.S. state or city can completely change your financial trajectory? In this episode, we’re going to lay out some actionable data points and jump-start your research. Let’s spark some curiosity about the financial pros and cons of your state, at your stage of life!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What states allow your dollar to go the furthest
  • How to assess job opportunities and quality of life in a new area
  • How educational opportunities vary from state to state
  • What states provide the best tax breaks and wealth-building opportunities
