It’s a brand new weekly theme here on the One Minute Retirement Tip, and this week we’re talking about the most googled personal finance topics by state. I recently came across an interesting article at SmartAsset.com that analyzed google search trends to see what people were searching for by state.

I encourage you to check it out, and I’ll link to article in the show notes, which you can find over on iTunes or Google Play by searching for the One Minute Retirement Tip with Ashley.

You can see which states ranked highest for search terms like motorcycle insurance, free college, foreclosure, gold, money laundering, etc.

I pulled out the personal finance topics from these search trends that I think are most useful when it comes to your retirement, and we’ll be covering those this week.

We’ll talk about:

• 529 plans
• Early retirement
• Pet insurance
• Roth IRAs, and
• Money laundering (based on the state searching for this, my guess is that they’re searching for HOW to launder money...take a guess and I’ll give you the answer on Thursday of this week)

Interestingly, I found that my home state, Oregon, did not rank for any of these key terms analyzed from google. I guess the takeaway there is that we Oregonians couldn’t care less about our money or our financial well-being. We’re probably all blowing up google search with cat memes instead of asking google thoughtful questions about retirement. But that’s a discussion for another day.

That’s it for today. Thanks for listening!
