Americans Are Fleeing Cities for Land, Low Taxes, and This…

May 19, 2022 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Americans are fleeing to the Super States, where taxes are low, and the cost of living is also lower. But money isn’t the only motivation. Americans want peace and freedom too. The big blue blob cities have proven over the last two years that they do not care about Americans’ safety. They prefer to empower criminals and defund the police rather than protect the weak and vulnerable. And when you try to protect yourself, they ban your guns. And when COVID hit, their only solution was job-killing draconian lockdowns. Govs. Ron DeSantis and Kristi Noem showed them an alternative path, but they … [Read more...]

Is This America’s Best Two State Combo for Snowbirds?

April 8, 2022 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Recently a reader friend, who has noticed Your Survival Guy encouraging Americans to find their place in one of the country’s Super States, sent this email discussing his own living plan, which includes a top tier duo. He writes: EJ, I’m personally not advocating for the masses moving to our state, but thought that this might be of interest. We’ve been enjoying Florida winters and New Hampshire summers for almost 10 years. Works well for us! Regards, D The combination of New Hampshire and Florida, from a tax perspective, could be America’s best for Snowbirds looking to enjoy … [Read more...]

SAVE UNTIL IT HURTS: Retirement Is Earned One Penny at a Time

December 20, 2021 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Not everyone gets to retire. If you want to spend your golden years enjoying travel or your favorite hobbies, or simply sitting by the beach, you need to save until it hurts now. Despite soaring stock markets and savings rates that are the highest in years, the number of American workers who are 75-years old and older is set to increase 96.5% over the next ten years because so many can't afford to retire. The Guardian reports: Maria Rios, 75, has worked as a food prep worker with contractor HMS Host at Phoenix Sky Harbor international airport for 17 years, where she makes $14.50 an hour. Her … [Read more...]

This State Could Climb Your Survival Guy’s Super State Rankings Fast

November 23, 2021 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper (D), has compromised with Republicans on tax cuts for the state's corporations and individuals in an attempt to avoid the wave of anti-Democratic sentiment that plagued former VA Governor Terry McAuliffe in his race to retake his old position. The problem for Cooper is, it's probably too little, too late. North Carolinians know Cooper is part of the problem, not part of the solution. They want to live in one of Your Survival Guy's Super States, just not with him in charge. The Editorial Board of The Wall Street Journal discusses Cooper's actions, … [Read more...]

Guess Where Americans are Going to Get Away From COVID Lockdowns

August 9, 2021 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Americans with businesses in big blue cities saw their lives torn apart during COVID lockdowns. They had to close up, forcing many of them into bankruptcy, and out of business forever. Now, Americans are leaving states and cities that tore apart their lives and moving to places where politicians respected their rights. Stessa has released a report on the top growing economies so far in 2021. Among the results were the 15 small, midsize, and large metro areas with the most economic growth. Some states kept coming up. In the small, medium, and large metros with the fastest growth, Florida … [Read more...]

August 4, 2021 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

BOOM TOWN: Billings, Montana Tops Index

July 20, 2021 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Sunset in Montana

You have been looking to escape the city since 2020. Riots, looting, sickness; all have made it easier than ever to flee to a "zoom town." My Super States have become popular destinations for many Americans who thought they'd spend the rest of their lives in big blue blob cities. As evidence of just how eager Americans are to get away from urban dangers and out into the great wide open, Billings, Montana has topped the WSJ/Realtor.com Emerging Housing Markets Index. Nicole Friedman reports: Billings, the biggest city in Montana, rose from the fourth spot to the first due to its low … [Read more...]

Everyone Is Headed for South Florida, Flying Private

July 7, 2021 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Private jet flights to and from South Florida have increased to record levels. This is a trend Your Survival Guy is following as the kids' inheritance is spent on keeping taxes low and the champagne cold. Private Jet Card Comparisons reports: Data from Tuvoli, a payment platform for private jet charter brokers and operators, shows South Florida private jet flights continue at a record clip, even as we head into the summer. So far in June, flights at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport are running 91.4% ahead of 2019 levels. As an example, during the first 23 days of June two years ago, the … [Read more...]

Your Survival Guy’s Super States: #1 Wyoming

June 30, 2021 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

When Your Survival Guy was in fourth grade, I had to do a report on one of the 50 states. I chose Wyoming because I thought its square box shape was cool. Turns out, all these years later, I was on to something as Wyoming checks a lot of the boxes that matter to me, and I’m sure you too. Here’s a sample of the items that matter to Your Survival Guy when it comes to picking a "Super State." Does the state restrict liberty by forcing residents to get things like "vaccine passports?" What about protections for the Second Amendment? And is the state treating its residents like a piggy bank? … [Read more...]
