Want to get paid to move? Several cities across the U.S. are making intriguing offers. Since COVID reshaped how we work, I’ve been fascinated by how cities are wooing remote workers.
Take Tulsa, Oklahoma. They'll hand you $10,000 to move there. The catch? You must work remotely and can’t already live in Oklahoma. With the average home price sitting at $202,000—far below the national average—it’s tempting.
Then there’s Topeka, Kansas, my favorite. They offer up to $15,000 if you buy a house, or $10,000 just to rent. With a median rent of $950 per month, that deal is hard to beat.
According to NewsNation, over 20 percent of Americans say they’re more likely to move post-election. With remote work becoming a permanent fixture, incentives like these might reshape where we call home.
What about you? Would $10,000 make you pack up and start fresh? It’s a fun thought experiment about what really matters when choosing where to live.
On that note, I’m James Brown, and as always, be well.
