Wait, what? Is there really a state of being “location broke?” YES! There are some states where $10k can buy you what would cost $1M in California, for instance. If you’re constantly feeling broke because you live in a high cost state, my advice is that you could move to a more affordable state (you’re not a tree.) Some people just will not consider a move under any circumstances. Moving is a hassle, but you could gain savings, peace of mind, an easier pace of every day life and tha ability to retire if you do consider it.
