Interesting

This is what I woke up to today!
Last night I had YW's. It was a class activity just for the Laurels, we had the manager of the Zions bank up here come and talk to the girls (leaders) about finances. Here are some interesting things that I learned:
1. What percentage of Americans live paycheck to paycheck? (70 %)
2. What percentage of Americans always or sometimes worry about money? (98%)
3. What is the personal savings rate in the U.S.? (-2.2%)
4. Financial issues are the most common cause of conflict for what percentage of couples? (70%)
5. How many months of expenses should be in a household's emergency savings account? (3)
6. What is the typical household debt (excluding first mortgage)? ($38,000)
7. What is the average household credit card debt? ($9,312)
8. What percentage of women will utimately have sole responsibility for their finances? (95%)
10. What multiple of a "bread winner's" annual salary is needed in life insurance coverage? (10)
