I have mentioned before that I was born in and raised in Missouri plus I live in Missouri now. Keep that fact in mind as I mention that I reuse paper towels and cups. Is it any surprise then that Missouri was just declared one of the cheapest states in America.

It's a good practice to regularly check your bank account for errors and/or suspicious activity. That's true now more than ever as the FBI has issued a bulletin that there is a new scam where a hacker could be draining your Missouri bank account right now.

History has proven that I'm wrong eventually (about many things). That is now true of something I just said recently about the richest place in Missouri. Forbes has just named a new place in Missouri that has more bling than any other and yes it's different than what I said. This is me correcting that now.

What happens when you come upon a problem? Hopefully, best case scenario is you find a good solution. For one Missouri glassblower, the problem that challenged him resulted in a quest that led him on a journey where he beat Amazon and became a billionaire.

Gasoline prices in Missouri are on the rise and these are the reasons why.

Women don't get enough credit in my opinion. You always hear about successful men who have accomplished a lot with their career, but in this case it's a tip of the hat to the richest woman in Illinois who has managed to achieve a net worth that is 12 times that of even world famous actress Sandra Bullock.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Wealth can be measured a lot of ways and does not necessarily equal happiness. However, it is interesting to note that the 3rd richest person in all of Missouri just happens to also be 33 times wealthier than even Major League Baseball and St. Louis Cardinal legend Albert Pujols.

How much is a dollar bill worth? Even with my admittedly limited math skills, I can safely answer $1 and be correct. That's actually wrong for some dollar bills that are being found in Missouri that are worth thousands all because of how certain numbers appear on the front.

The financial struggle is real no matter where you live, but certain counties are better than others in Missouri. One northeast Missouri county has just been ranked as the most affordable place to live in the entire state.

I've heard it said that what you don't know won't hurt you. That may be true, but for one Missouri man...what he didn't know was that he had been a millionaire for 3 months without even realizing it.
