Podcast: Survey Finds NH Folks Are Financially Savvy

By Roger Wood | October 14, 2015

Elyssa Kirkham

New Hampshire has some of the most financially savvy residents in the nation. In fact, only North Dakota ranks higher in a study conducted by Gobankingrates.com. The Los Angeles-based firm surveyed all 50 states and the District of Columbia to report their findings. Mississippi finished last in the Money-Savvy-States-survey.

Gobankingrates.com says that residents in the top states are more likely to make use of retirement accounts, bank services and have lower rates of debt collection and loan delinquency.

Roger Wood spoke to study author Elyssa Kirkham about the survey and New Hampshire’s standing. GOBankingRates says it is a national website dedicated to connecting readers with the best interest rates on financial services nationwide, as well as informative personal finance content, news and tools.
