Can't get away this summer? Depending on where you live, you might actually be in luck (let's be positive here).
Personal-finance website WalletHub crunched some numbers and released a new report focusing on the year's best and worst cities for staycations. To come up with the results, the site "compared the 150 largest cities across 36 key indicators" that included "movie and bowling costs," "spas and wellness centers per capita to cost of house-cleaning services."

The finding that strikes our fancy most involves Orlando, Florida having the most ice cream and frozen yogurt shops per capita—no wonder the city took the top spot on the list.
