NEW YORK, April 13 (Reuters) - Face it, we could all use a little help with our money. So who better to ask for personal finance advice than a couple of the most powerful chatbots on the planet?

Taxes are lowerPeople leaving states like California or New York often cite high income and property taxes as key motivations for their departure. (It's not all cheap: some new Floridians have been surprised by rising property taxes.) Like Florida, Tennessee has no income tax, as well as a property tax rate well below the national average. According to financial information and advice company SmartAsset, Tennessee's median annual property tax paid is $1,317, which is about half the national average. "One of the reasons why they're considering Tennessee is because of the affordability in terms of taxes," Foster said.
☆ Airbnb and Vrbo owners should brace for 2023. There's more competition than ever and hosts will have to work harder to stay booked.

Short-term rental owners will see a drop in occupancy rates in 2023, one forecast shows. While travel is still expected to remain high, travelers will have more listings than ever to choose from.

The hosts that will do best will most likely be those that offer discounted rates, Lane says. Those who don't actively manage their prices will "most likely" see a drop in their revenue, Lane said.
☆ This graphic shows how many more stars you can see under truly dark skies vs. city, suburban, and rural areas

Level four classifies the transition from suburban to rural areas, where you can see the Milky Way. The night sky is brimming with stars, making it harder to parse out faint constellations.

For the first time since we began, the site began paying for itself. And for that, we needed more site traffic. When major area attractions closed for the post-holiday winter season, our site traffic plummeted, as did our revenue. This allowed us to integrate blog work into our regular work weeks instead of treating it like a side hustle. Whether or not we will simply continue to scale back our day jobs or pivot to solely blog income in the future remains to be seen.
