Just 10 miles North or so of Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, stands the Eastern States Exposition fairgrounds, and from September 15 - October 1, 2023, The Big E is happening. Last year, over 1.6 million New Englanders made it to our part of world's Superfair. It's miles and miles of every agricultural, carnival, arts&crafts, and entertainment option in one place, but obviously the highlight is the food.

However, the numbers are the numbers and by the book we are a lot of the things they call us. I'm not a wealthy person, I never attended a private school, I did not go to an elite east coast University and I've never been a member of a country club. However, examining the financial stats from Connecticut makes me feel like I must have made a few missteps along the way. There is an ungodly amount of money in this state. Here are 5 Fascinating Filthy Rich Financial Stats from CT.
