When it comes to how much money Americans have socked away for retirement and other financial needs, no matter what survey results you review, the bottom line is always that millions have not saved anywhere near enough.
A recent survey by GOBankingRates.com found that a whopping 57% of respondents have less than $1,000 socked away, while an even more distressing 39% have savings balances of $0. (A difference of $1,000 might not seem like much, but it can mean the difference between, say, being able to fix a car and get to work and not being able to.)
The survey also broke down its data for each of the 50 states. Click through the following pages for a look at how savers are doing in 10 states, ranked by the percentage of residents who have no savings and, in the case of ties, by the percentage with savings below $1,000.
