Missouri’s low cost of living expenses is usually what makes people want to move there and settle with their families. They have many jobs available for professionals, or so it seems by simply judging from their employment rates for actuaries. The state is also teeming with so many outdoor adventures you may want to try when you want to take a break from crunching numbers. Caves and camps, anyone?
