The economics of your financial life.
Every money decision you make — where to live, when to retire, how much to save for healthcare — is shaped by forces most apps never show you. MoneyStats makes them visible, so Brix can build your plan on economic reality, not guesswork.
What MoneyStats tracks
Thirteen areas of economic data, updated over time and translated into plain English — the same terrain a good advisor studies before giving advice.
- Cost of LivingChartWhere you live shapes what you keep.Cost-of-living indices by city and state — housing, groceries, utilities, transportation, and everyday prices, compared side by side.
- Purchasing Power & InflationChartWhat your dollar actually buys.Inflation trends and how they change what a dollar buys over time, across everyday categories like food, fuel, and rent.
- Tax Rates by StateChartSome states cost you more to earn.State income tax, sales tax, and property tax rates, side by side — plus which states have no income tax at all.
- Best Places to RetireChartRetire where your money goes further.How cities and states stack up for retirement — cost of living, taxes on retirement income, healthcare access, and senior living costs.
- Medical Costs & Healthcare PlanningChartHealth costs are a financial plan, too.Healthcare cost trends — premiums, deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums, prescription costs, and how they rise with age.
- Senior Living CostsChartPlan for care before you need it.The cost of assisted living, nursing care, in-home care, and long-term care, by region — plus how fast those costs are rising.
- Housing Market DataChartBuy, rent, or wait — on the numbers.Home prices, rent trends, and affordability by market — plus how mortgage rates change what you can actually afford.
- Income & Wage BenchmarksChartKnow what your work is worth.Typical pay by trade, role, and region — so you can see how your income compares and where it's heading.
- Interest Rate EnvironmentChartRates decide the cost of borrowing.Where interest rates sit and where they're heading — for mortgages, auto loans, credit cards, and savings accounts.
- Debt StatisticsChartSee where you stand — and where the traps are.Typical debt loads, average interest rates, and payoff timelines across credit cards, auto loans, and student loans.
- Social Security & Medicare BenchmarksChartClaim what you've earned, the right way.Social Security benefit levels by claiming age, and Medicare cost and enrollment benchmarks.
- Education & Childcare CostsChartPlan for the costs that come with a family.Childcare, K–12, and college cost trends by region — and how fast they're climbing.
- Life Expectancy & Longevity TrendsChartPlan for a long life, not an average one.Life-expectancy data and longevity trends — how long a plan may actually need to last.
