There are different ways to measure how rich your life is and this is a perfect example. The poorest county in Missouri is much richer than you think and I'll prove it.
I want to be clear that I love the people of Kentucky and I don't want anyone there to misunderstand what I'm about to share. But, the poorest county in Illinois based on new data really should just be a part of Kentucky. I'll explain why.
I think it's safe to say that most people have a goal of retiring 'comfortably', but what does that mean exactly? If you plan to sail off into a golden sunset in Missouri, you better start saving based on a number I've just seen shared that puts a mammoth price on the word 'comfortably'.
Missouri has a billion dollars in unclaimed property that is never spoken for. There's a one in ten chance that they have something meant for you based on statistics. There's an easy way to find out if you're one of the lucky ones.
Other than the Eiffel Tower, I think the only French things I've ever really appreciated are fries. Perhaps I should expand my horizons as the 2nd richest city in Missouri for 2024 is very France.
It's been said that crime doesn't pay, but in this case you must pay dearly for your crime. That's true especially if you're St. Louis, Missouri which nearly has the highest crime cost in America.
I demand a recount. A new internet ranking based on customer votes claims the fast food chain that's most expensive has 107 Missouri locations. It's true that there are 107 of their eateries in Missouri, but I disagree with the most expensive part.
Illinois like every other state has its share of problems. But, it also happens to be the home for one of America's top 25 richest cities for 2024 and it's a great beach town, too.
