Which States Manage Household Finances Best?
Now you can go to a new website, and see just how good or bad citizens in your state are at managing household finances.
Here's a small spoiler: if you aren't a citizen of New York, New Jersey or New Hampshire, you are less likely to be among the most financially adept individuals. Those three states were among the top five in at least three of five measures of financial capability, according to a survey of more than 28,000 people.
The interactive, clickable map of the U.S. is based on the State-by-State Financial Capability Survey released Wednesday that was developed in consultation with the Treasury Department and the President's Advisory Council on Financial Literacy. Find the full data here.
