Stress and No Money? Welcome to Connecticut and New York

Found a study on Monday that made a list of the most stressed states and Connecticut and New York are both in the top 20 most stressed states. New York is number 7 on the most stressed list and Connecticut is number 16. Real estate blog, Movato, looked at a number of factors to figure this list out, including but not limited to: unemployment rates, and number of people with health insurance. I guess I could see why Connecticut and New York are pretty stressed, I mean, I think that's just the nature of the tri-state area and the Northeast coast, in general. Number one really surprised me though. Florida is most stressed out state? Really? Really, Florida? Pretty sure you have great weather all year round. Have a polar vortex and then talk to me. We have hurricanes too up here so that's not a good excuse.

2nd depressing study that I found is: Connecticut and New York worst places to live to make a living! Ha! We are just getting a heavy hand this week. It is pretty expensive to live in this area and the economy is struggling as it is, so I guess that makes sense. This study was done by Moneyrates.com and looked at average salaries, unemployment rate, cost of living, blah, blah, blah. I see a lot of similarities between the two studies. Let's just all agree that the economy sucks, the rent "is too damn high", and all we want to do, really,

is hang out and drink beers.

Cheers!
