The Money Guy Show

The Best Places in America to Build Wealth (By Age)

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
