Today I'm going to tell you about places that'll pay you to move there. Over the last year or so
we focused on places you should move to as a remote worker the idea is that if you have a
job that you could do anywhere why not do it in a more affordable place now i'm no math genius but
that sounds reasonable a couple months back while researching for different videos i came across a
website called make my move that lists and helps remote workers find places to relocate to here's
the thing they're not just there to tell you about these affordable places they actually help
you find places that will pay you to move there and they're the sponsor of today's video again
like i've always said i won't do a sponsored video unless it fits what you guys are looking for
and that's why they're the sponsor a lot of you are remote workers looking for new places to live
in the united states there are dozens of cities offering anywhere from three hundred dollars to
twenty thousand dollars in cash incentives tax credits and housing allowances to make remote
workers move some of these packages have other things like gym memberships and free coffee yeah
really one place had like a couple thousand dollars worth of free coffee but make my move
is an online directory launched in 2020 that works to connect remote workers with offers
around the country now that the whole remote worker thing has gone mainstream
people are starting to look around and realizing they could have a better life
outside of a major city and on either of the coasts today i'm going to show you some of my
favorite offers i found on makemymove.com get it got it good let's take a look

like martinsburg charlestown and harper's ferry harper's ferry is where the potomac river and the
shenandoah river meet here's the thing about west virginia they don't have a lot of jobs to offer
what they do have is a very low cost living and extremely reasonable real estate prices it's like
the natural order of things when a place doesn't have a lot of jobs everything is more affordable

number three greensburg indiana greensburg is a town of almost 12 000 residents that sits between
cincinnati ohio and indianapolis indiana if you're thinking hey there's a greensburg in pennsylvania
you'd be correct greensburg indiana was laid out in 1822 the founder thomas hendricks senior's wife
was a native of greensburg pennsylvania that's how they selected the name by the way if you want to
see a lot of that look at oregon look at the map other than the native american names here or the
indigenous names the entire state ripped off all their names from the east coast including portland
oregon one of the founders was from portland maine the other one was from boston massachusetts
they flipped a coin to see who could name it after their hometown portland won obviously but
greensburg indiana is a beautiful growing indiana farm town i mean it's surrounded by farmland but
this town is growing one thing i really like about greensburg indiana is the real estate it's
affordable i mean you could find something for everyone but a lot of the decent houses that
are move-in ready are going to be about 225 000 to 185 000 you can find cheaper ones that might need

grandparents day at school for your kids in case like your you know your parents live on
the east coast or the west coast and they need a grandparent for the day they'll fill in and seeing
that they're like not really your parents or their grandparents you'll never have to go through that
conversation why don't you call me anymore nobody comes to visit but you also get a ymca membership
