2020's Happiest States in America

[left-of-center2012]

WalletHub drew upon the findings of “happiness” research ... Previous studies have found that good economic, emotional, physical and social health are all key to a well-balanced and fulfilled life.

To determine where Americans exhibit the best combination of these factors, we examined the 50 states across 32 key metrics, ranging from the depression rate and the positive COVID-19 testing rate to income growth and the unemployment rate.

Top ten :
1 Hawaii
2 Utah
3 Minnesota
4 New Jersey
5 Maryland
6 California
7 North Dakota
8 Iowa
9 Idaho
10 Connecticut

1. Hawaii, of course.

They're 2,000 miles away from this festering shithole...

4. A friend moved from CA to Hawaii

He only stayed a year or two.

You're limited in how much you can move around without needing to fly to an adjacent island.
He felt too confined.

He enjoyed it while there, but is back in San Diego.

5. No problem - after I buy a home in Hawaii I shall buy a small plane too....

(in my lottery dreams, of course)

6. I'd miss winter.

I'm in one of the other happy states, Minnesota, and I like the variety of seasons, even winter.

7. I don't really remember winter, I've been in FL so long....

Our version of winter is when it dips below 60, lol
