A family of 4 needs over $300,000 a year to live comfortably in this state—it's not Hawaii or California
Many American families are increasingly struggling to keep up with the cost of living in most of the 50 U.S. states. The U.S. median household income rose between 2022 and 2023 to just over $80,000 a year, according to the most recent Census Bureau data. But a family of four needs at least $186,618 a year to live comfortably in Mississippi in 2025, the country's most affordable state, found a SmartAsset study that published on June 4. "Living comfortably" means having enough income to dedicate 50% to necessary costs, 30% to discretionary wants and 20% to debt payments and saving, also known as following the 50/30/20 budget, according to the study. In Massachusetts, the most expensive state in the U.S., a family of four needs more than $300,000 per year to meet that threshold. Costs of living grew by over 4% in that state from 2024, slightly more than the national average of 3.87%, SmartAsset's analysis found. Boston has the highest cost of raising a child in the country, a separate SmartAsset study recently found, and much of that total cost comes from child care. Raising a child in Boston costs an estimated $39,221 per year, including $23,800 just for child care, according to SmartAsset. Having children typically gives families other added costs, too: food, supplies and, in some instances, increased housing costs. The cost of living for families in other states may not be quite as high as in Massachusetts, but three states — Vermont, New Jersey and Montana — are on track to rapidly catch up, with double-digit growth rates from 2024, found SmartAsset's report. On the flip side, overall costs of living actually shrank from 2024 in six states, the report said: Hawaii, New York, Georgia, Delaware, Michigan and Iowa. SmartAsset used the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's living wage calculator to estimate the annual cost of essentials in each state. MIT calculates family living costs for two working adults and two children and includes essentials like housing and food for all those family members as well as child care. Here's the income it takes for families of four to live comfortably in all 50 states in 2025, according to the study:

Ramit Sethi: Here's the ‘Biggest Red Flag of All' When It Comes to Money and Relationships
Most people look for a romantic partner who shares their financial values and has similar life goals, whether that means living a life of luxury or embracing a minimalist existence. Incompatibility in these areas is often a deal breaker or 'red flag.' Learn More: Consider This: Personal finance expert Ramit Sethi says there is an even bigger red flag that people tend to overlook. The number one financial red flag isn't having different values — it's being unable to talk about money at all. 'If your partner simply will not talk about money, you have a huge problem,' Sethi explained in an interview on Instagram. Many people get uncomfortable when it's time to talk about money. Fortunately, there are some tried and true ways to get better at having those important conversations. Sethi stressed that it's OK to have different values and approaches to dealing with money, but it is essential to talk to your partner about it. Not only that, but talking about money shouldn't be a one-time event. Ideally, 'we want to have lots of conversations about money,' Sethi said. If your partner refuses to talk about money, they're not just avoiding one big conversation. They're avoiding an ongoing dialogue that should be a regular part of your shared life. Therapists agree that couples must be able to talk effectively about money, according to Choosing Therapy. Issues like income levels and spending habits may be important, but they're not as important as the ability to discuss finances. Transparency and openness about money are very important for your relationship. Be Aware: Most people don't love talking about money, but some are more avoidant than others. Sethi said, 'Avoiders hate talking about money. And they will use a series of conscious and unconscious techniques to avoid talking about money.' Those techniques may include downplaying the importance of finances, procrastinating or outright refusing to make financial decisions. All of these approaches can create an unfair situation and can breed resentment. Guess who's stuck making those decisions when your partner refuses to have the tough conversations? If you have a financially avoidant partner, don't despair. There are still ways to get them into a conversation about finances. Therapists suggest setting up a specific time to talk about money, ideally when you're both relaxed and don't have any major problems weighing on you. In other words, don't wait until your car breaks down and the roof springs a leak. Plan out exactly what you'll discuss, and don't try to talk about everything at once. It can also help to meet somewhere neutral, like a coffee shop. Remember to be compassionate and kind. Money is a red-button issue for many people, and talking about it can trigger major insecurities. Do your best to reassure your partner that the two of you are on the same team and that you don't want an adversarial relationship. Hopefully, this attitude will help get the financial conversation going forward!
