If you live in Montana, chances are you appreciate a little seclusion. I mean, we're one of the least populated states in the country—you've got to like your space. Another thing Montanans tend to be great at? Preparedness. Whether it's stocking up before a snowstorm or keeping bear spray within reach, we're usually ready for just about anything. Of course, there are levels to being prepared… and for some of us (myself included), having a bug-out plan—or even a bunker—doesn't sound that far-fetched.

With the weather turning warmer, Montanans will be heading out to explore this great state of ours. One of my favorite things to do in the nicer weather months is go road-tripping. Montana has tons of places to check out, from ghost towns to more metropolitan areas, Big Sky Country has a ton to do and see. For those who will be traveling across the Treasure State, you should know that there are a few things on the stranger side that are certainly worth checking out.

It’s kind of our thing. So when we come across articles or social media threads naming the rudest towns in Big Sky Country, we can’t help but raise an eyebrow and ask: Really?

Imagine having a few hundred thousand—or even a few million dollars—sitting in your house right now without even knowing it. Sounds far-fetched, right? Like one of those late-night infomercials promising you are the treasure and for just $19.99 a month… blah, blah, blah. But here’s the thing—this isn’t that. There are rare pennies out there that are worth serious money, and you might actually have one. The odds aren’t great—but they’re not zero either.

Saddle up, Montana! We're just one signature away from making rodeo our official state sport! has blazed through the Senate, passing 40-9, and the House on Wednesday, with only two votes saying nay. The only two nay-sayer votes came from Sen. Daniel Emrich of Great Falls and Sen. Susan Webber (D) of Browning, Montana. Right now, only 17 states in the U.S. have an official state sport, each chosen to reflect their heritage. And if any sport fits Montana's history, it's rodeo.

Dining out in Montana can be costly. I'm reminded of that every time my wife and I travel outside of the state and get the bill. Granted, we live in Bozeman, which seems to run a little high, but all across the state, people pay more when they go out to eat. READ MORE: How much do you need to live comfortably in Montana?

BUTTE, MT - Montana is known for its rugged landscapes, wide-open spaces, and a lifestyle that blends hard work with natural beauty. But when it comes to wealth, most people assume the richest communities are found in the ski resorts of Big Sky, the historic mansions of Helena, or the tech-booming neighborhoods of Bozeman. However, the wealthiest town in Montana is not what you’d expect—and chances are, you’ve never even heard of it.
