The Tax Foundation shows the purchasing power in a report entitled “The Real Value of $100 by Metropolitan Area, 2024.” According to the report, $100 tends to buy the least in large cities in the Northeast, California, and the Pacific Northwest; it goes the furthest in rural areas in the Southeast and Midwest. Prices can vary significantly within states. Look at a map to see the purchasing power of money in your location. #IdeaoftheDay
