Connecticut You’re the 3rd Richest State in the Country – Show Me the Money $$$

Turns out we have a lot of moola and babysitting is a great gig to have! What's with that you ask?

Here's the lowdown. Connecticut remains the third RICHEST STATE in the COUNTRY, according to Forbes' 2014 list.

WHAT - you say!

I feel you, because I'm still trying to cover some of the bills at the end of the month! BUT federal statistics recently showed that our fair state's "per capita" income in 2014 was more than $62,000. And to boot, that's a 3% increase over 2013. WOW!!!!

Clearly, I am not part of the "per capita" equation ... how about you? Might it be all of the BOOTS I BUY?

Solution to the money problem - get a baby sitting gig on the side. YES, you heard me. According to Care.com, Connecticut babysitters are among the HIGHEST paid in the country. Earning, on average, in some parts of the state, $15 an hour.

That being said, do you find yourself wondering what the hell you did with your life?
