Connecticut Ranks No. 1 In Saving For Retirement

When it comes to putting away money for retirement, residents of Connecticut - the state with the highest per capita income - are leading the country.

Connecticut surpassed last year's winner, New Jersey, for the top spot in A.G. Edwards' "Nest Egg Index." The index, released Wednesday, ranks the top 500 U.S. communities on their residents' personal savings and investing behavior. New Jersey fell to second, followed by Minnesota, Massachusetts and Maryland.
