Similar Stories to Why Everyone Who Lives In Alaska Is Getting $1,884 Today on Bing News

If polar bears and Snow Dogs weren’t enough to make you want to move to Alaska, consider this: You can get paid thousands of dollars a year just for living there. Today, Oct. 2, almost every permanent resident of Alaska — even babies — will get paid $1,884 as a dividend from the state’s Alaska Permanent Fund, a government fund that invests proceeds generated from the state’s oil reserves to ensure future wealth for the state. When the first dividend checks were issued to residents in 1980, TIME predicted that the windfall would be long-lasting: Nor is there any end in sight to the flow of dividends from the oil fund, which by the end of this year is expected to total more than $1 billion.
