Every year, millions of Americans move from one state to another.

They might permanently relocate to be closer to family or for a new job.

Some may split their time between two or more places as remote workers or retirees.

We call northerners who move to a warmer southern location

in the winter snowbirds, and I see plenty of them where I live in Florida. However, living and working

in more than one state can get complicated because you may need to file taxes in more than one state.

I also received a great question about being a snowbird

from Rhonda S, who says, I'm 45 and I've lived in a snowy winter location my whole life, but I would

like to be a snowbird by 55 with a job supporting that lifestyle. I own a home that will be paid off by then, and I have no

have kids and I'm not married. What tips do you have for becoming a snowbird? Well, thank you so much

for your question, Rhonda. I'm actually the opposite of you

because I've lived in hot southern states most of my life, but I plan to be a sunbird and head north

during the sweltering Florida summers at some point. So this podcast will review five tips for living in multiple states and ways to

prepare your finances to do it successfully. Welcome back, everyone. I appreciate you joining me for
