Maryland is known as one of the wealthiest states, however according to a recent study, most Marylanders won’t have the money to help themselves out of a financial emergency.
More than one in three Marylanders are living on the edge of financial disaster with almost no savings to fall back on in the event of a job loss, health crisis or other emergency, according to an annual report released by the Corporation for Enterprise Development (CFED).
The Assets & Opportunity Scorecard reveals insight into Americans’ ability to save and build wealth, fend off poverty and create a more prosperous future. The report also offers findings on how Americans in all 50 states are doing financially, and highlights policies that are helping Americans build in financial assets, income, businesses, jobs, housing, homeownership, health care and education.
