Financial Health Survey
 
Thank you for taking the Financial Health Survey.
 
Please respond to the following questions as completely as possible. You may want to have a few financial records on hand, such as your 2008 tax return, checkbook register and credit card statements. Use your best guess on each question. It should take 15 to 20 minutes with your financial records available and slightly longer without them. At the end of the survey, you will be provided with links to financial education resources that address your financial needs.
This survey is provided to disseminate information and for academic research purposes.  Results are being calculated anonymously.  No identifying information is being collected during this survey.  The Financial Health Index is a research project by MSU Extension designed to understand the basic financial needs of consumers today.
Thank You for taking time to complete the survey tool!
 

 The Fall Household Hazardous Waste Collection was a great success!  Watch for information on the Spring 2010 collection!  Thanks to all who helped and/or participated in the event.

Highlights Detach

MSU Extension for the 21st century will move Michigan forward

MSU Extension has conducted a vigorous internal discussion focused on resculpting itself into a 21st-century organization, while continuing its dedication to furthering the quality of life and prosperity of Michigan citizens. The program now will carry that conversation to its external stakeholders, starting with partners in state government.

“The Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station and Michigan State University Cooperative Extension have historically provided relevant, responsive services that were tailored to our rural communities," said Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm. "As Michigan moves from rust to green, these programs will be focused on enhancing our local communities’ efforts to collaborate and innovate in the new clean energy economy. I support continued funding for this restructuring, with its emphasis on growing Michigan's new green economy.”  Read the entire announcement on the MSU News site.
