Michigan

Michigan may be shaped like a mitten, but don’t worry; you won’t need to be wearing a pair all year round. Residents of this charming state love the fact that they get to experience all four seasons, and they’re all about making the most of warm and cold weather alike with a variety of seasonal recreational activities. In the summer, it’s popular for Michiganders to spend weekends hiking and camping in the scenic Upper Peninsula, and winter provides no shortage of slopes to ski on and lakes to go ice fishing in. And after a long day outside, there are few better places than Michigan to settle down and relax with a nice, cold drink—The state boasts some of the finest craft beers in the nation. And if that’s not enough to convince you to make Michigan your new home, consider the inexpensive cost of living—Houses in Michigan tend to cost about 30% less than the national average, so you’ll have plenty of leftover money to spend seeing all the sights!
