Would you believe someone if they told you New Jersey is not a high-stress state? If you don't, you're not going to believe the results of a recent study.

When it comes to stress, you probably think nobody does it better than we do here in New Jersey, but it turns out we are not even close to being the most stressed state in the nation.

The research was recently reported by WalletHub, and news that New Jersey is not stressed out is exactly the kind of thing that will, well, stress us out.

It is not surprising enough to find out we are not included in the top ten most stressed-out states in the nation. Try to absorb this. We are one of the ten least stressed states according to this study.

To be even more specific, there are only 6 states in the nation that are less stressed than we are. Are you finding this as surprising as I am?

The most surprising thing, however, is the category we are least stressed about in the Garden State.

When it comes to how much we worry about money, our stress rank plummets. In the money category, we rank as the 3rd least stressed state in America. Is that even possible?

You read that right. According to the data, there is no category we are less stressed about than money.

The other categories included work, family and health stress.
