No way MN beats FL.
I have lived in both states, and I disagree here.

Glad it wasn’t a test. I would have thought Hawaii would have been the worse by a long shot. Other factors being equal (and of course, they aren’t) transportation costs alone should hurt them. As far as other factors, they are a democrat hell hole, so they should get any positive traction based on policy.

Methodology

 

GOBankingRates compiled data from the 2022 Regional Price Parities reoporting by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Affairs. It then used factors such as median household income, sourced from the 2022 American Community Survey, annual cost-of-living expenditures, sourced from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and typical home value for a single-family residence, sourced from Zillow.

What, no state and local taxes??? I daresay that when you factor in taxes from states like Taxifornia - your purchasing power with $100 probably drops to $75.00. Or less.

Ping for latter. I’m considering weather to go home to cheese head land, or back up up to Iowa, good people. Am In Missouri currently. There is a warrant out for my arrest for missing traffic court in Georgia. They have nothing better to do than fine Wisconsin boys and mandate them to appear in a Georgia court. Have had several cops laugh at this when I brought it to their attention.

It’s based on 2 year old info.

I wonder the drop in purchasing power since then?

Though gasoline is magically getting cheaper pre election /s

This map/chart HIDES how bad the leftist states are. If CA were set to a 100, the top states would be 128.

Suppose, in 1970, your mom worked in the agricultural industry making $1 and hour. No overtime pay no matter how many hours she works.
After a week’s work she gets a paycheck, pays her bills and has a $10 left over. It represents TEN HOURS of her life.
With that $10 she could have gotten 50 gallons of gas or 40 hamburgers.
She places it in a book as a book mark and forgets where she placed it.
54 years later you inherit her goods and find the $10. It still represents TEN HOURS of her life, but now will only buy 3 gallons of gas and maybe one hamburger for herself.

That is inflation and the debasing of the US dollar by government.

If the US government falls, the paper money will be worthless as Confederate money.
