A new study has revealed the hardest place in America to save money with sky high housing prices, cost of living and debt.
Surprisingly it's not New York or Los Angeles.
Research by Forbes Advisor found the most difficult place to save each month is the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario area in California.
An analysis of cost of living, income tax, housing costs and debt to income ratio put the metro area in top spot.
It was closely followed by the Anaheim area of Los Angeles, then Miami and New York.
