April is National Financial Literacy Month, which means us Minnesotan's are asked to understand our financial well-being and become 'money smarter'. Here's how we rank.

The folks at Wallethub released their yearly report on the US states who are most, and least, financially literate. We've taken just the results from Minnesota below, but if you'd like to see the other states, click here.

The metrics used look at a bunch of categories to determine how we look -vs- all the other states, ranking 1 (best) to 25 (worst). In some areas we rank well, but in others the results are alarming...and not in a good way. The overall result puts us at #2 in the country!

Considering the Ritchie Rich's seem to occupy New Hampshire, I'm OK with Minnesota being #2 in the entire country!
