Code

The code is intended to be used with the State-by-State Survey Respondent-Level Data. A dataset converting the SAS file along with its labels in STATA format is also provided. The data and data dictionairies can be found at www.usfinancialcapability.org
Code to create a "pseudo financial well-being" measure to mimic the financial well-being score from 2018 but spans 2012, 2015, and 2018 NFCS datasets is below. The file requires the user to downlaod the NFCS 2012 and 2015 datasets and convert them to STATA formats.
