Where The Money Is: A CNNMoney Special Report

this blog post was originally published as "20 US Towns With The Most Money" on another blog of mine: Keyboard Monkeys | Tips, Tricks and Advice for the Digital Entrepreneur. Real estate, I believe is an industry entrepreneurs aspire to, regardless of background. In fact, it was this very post that inspired me to set up this blog, Terra Est Nostri | Renzie on Real Estate.

CNNMoney.com just released an article on 6-Figure Towns in the United States, and while there are quite a number of these town on the list, we're featuring a quick look at the top twenty on that list.

Clicking on each individual town or city brings you to that town's page on the special report, which gives you an overview, a list of key industries and key occupations in that particular town, and links to an interactive map and even more town data if you're interested.
