Have a Baby

A new study is out from Wallethub:

Best and Worst States to Have a Baby



So, how in the world did they conduct their study?
The personal finance social network analyzed the best and worst states to have a baby, looking at 22 key metrics including health care conditions, budget considerations and the baby-friendliness in the state. 

"Baby-friendliness"? What is that based on ??
Laws to protect youngsters?
Number of Babies-r-Us stores?
Politicians willing to pucker-up for a kiss?



So after all their data collection, analysis, computation, etc., they reached these decisions:

The best..... VERMONT
The worst..... ALABAMA
40th place..... ILLINOIS

The full list is below.

Out for now.......
