Montana's stress levels

Ok, enough about me, let's talk about the rest of you hard-working beasts. WalletHub released a study titled "2025's Most & Least Stressed States."

WalletHub looked at several factors broken into 4 subcategories:

• Work-Related Stress
• Money-Related Stress
• Family-Related Stress
• Health & Safety-Related Stress

Montana was placed 21st on the list. Nothing crazy to stress about. The worst ranking was in the "Heath & Safety-Related Stress" category at 12th in the U.S. and our best ranking was 30th in both the "Work Related Stress" and "Family-Related Stress" categories.
