Interesting article letting you compare where you stack-up in the financial spectrum against others in the USA

I found this article very informative in letting me know where I stood with respect to the rest of the people in the country.

I suppose I should have always felt OK about my financial situation...but this helps me quantify it a bit more.

Insurance rates in NH are suppsed to be down.....my costs are up.

I think I heard that insurance rates in NH have come down a bit...but my insurance costs seemed to have risen. (My house, car and umbrella policies will total $2534 this year)

I think the problem is a basic one for me.....my wife and I used to insure through a company that insures teachers. Well, when my wife passed away...the company took away our discount for teachers. So this year, I'm back at the "normal joe's" rate...at which this company is not so competitive.

I suppose it is always true that it pays to shop around. (I just started the shopping process today)
