I moved to Alaska in February 2009, and I have already made $2,952 just by being a state resident. That's right - almost $3,000 for living in the Last Frontier!
One
of the awesome things about making Alaska your home is that once you've
lived within the state for a full calendar year (January 1 - December
31), you get an annual check in part due to the state's oil revenues.
Yesterday, the big announcement was made regarding the 2013 PFD amount - and Alaskans will be $900 richer on October 3.
Alaska's Permanent Fund Dividend - good for Alaskans, good for Alaska's economy!
