Pennsylvania Has One of the Best Cities to Start Your Life Over

Have you ever wanted to just redo your life? Hopefully not, but maybe you have just felt like you wanted a fresh start. I think that's a pretty common sentiment. There's something to be said for wanting to pick up all your stuff and move somewhere new to start your life over. It's like a new chance at living and meeting people. It can also bring new job opportunities. Well, one Pennsylvania city has been named one of the best to start your life over in America.

The study comes from FinanceBuzz.com. "Whether it's the start of the new year or due to a big life event, sometimes you just need a fresh start. And while many people have big city dreams, some locations are better than others for 'starting over,'" they state in the article. So, to set out to find the best cities in the U.S. to start over, FinanceBuzz analyzed data from 50 of the largest U.S. cities. Then, they scored those cities based on "peer population, employment, social scene, and living costs."

Some of the main takeaways of the study found that St Louis, Missouri, is the best city in the U.S. for people looking to start over. What's interesting is that a major city many people move to in hopes of starting over is not: New York City. The Big Apple is the worst city to go to for a fresh start.

So, which Pennsylvania city made the cut? It's a ways from Philly, but Pittsburgh is No. 6 on the tally. FinanceBuzz.com states that Pittsburgh is "one of the more affordable cities to live in for someone on a budget." That's a main reason it's good for someone starting over, which makes sense.
