Here's What $100 Is Worth In Each State

"The map below, created by nonprofit research organization Tax Foundation using data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, shows the real value of $100 adjusted to reflect average price levels in each state. In Mississippi, for instance, $100 would be enough to buy what would cost $115.74 in a place where prices are closer to the national average. In a pricey state like New York, $100 is only worth about $86.66."

I live in Michigan and I sure don't see where that number comes from. I've been down to Indiana and prices are much better there.

I was going to move to Lansing next month. Maybe I should consider Indianapolis instead.

You need to account for things like taxes and housing and utilities not just shelf prices.

But Mississippi and New York should definitely have the same Federally-mandated Minimum Wage anyway, to be fair to everyone.

$100 is soon to be even less in California. The leftards got a carbon tax passed so they're going up in 2015 to be the highest in the nation but the leftards aren't happy with that. They want to severely increase gas taxes much much higher: Gas Prices Expected to Rise in 2015 Because of Taxes | NBC Southern California

I was just in Montana and Idaho, and things were so much cheaper than in Canada. Does that count?

are you suicidal? Indianapolis has become a very violent city with many homicides a day (just today they found a 15 year old girl burned body) if you come to IN go to a small town and stay out of the cities.

Mo and Ms are looking really good right now.
As to washington state?
Id dispute the findings, as 100$ being worth 96$?
Simply because 90$ of it goes to taxes and fees. UGH. LOL

God bless
