From the grocery store to the gas pump, inflation is nearly impossible to escape; yet, as it continues to climb, some states are faring a little bit better than others.
The states that are managing inflation the best are the states where it is least expensive to live, because historically, inflation has been the cheapest in those states. That’s due to a combination of factors, including regional inflation rates from the Federal Government to the cost of living index. So, guess what state is the cheapest to live in? Mississippi. But, second on the list for cheapest states to live in? Kansas.
