6 US States to Live a Long Life

Minnesota

Yes, we know, Minnesota does get pretty cold: but people who choose to live here say that it’s not that bad once you get used to it. And while if you’re a native Californian or Texan you may be having some problems adjusting to the cold winters, if you’re not from a state on the opposite spectrum when it comes to weather, you’re going to be fine. After all, Minnesota isn’t Alaska and you can definitely bundle up!

Not only that, but the life expectancy is comparable with the one of New Jersey! It averages 20 years over the age of 65, with women reaching 21.6 years and men 18.7 years! It’s a long time to be able to enjoy your retirement in peace and make the most of it. And the cold may just be playing a role in that as well. Don’t throw the Land of 10,000 Lakes aside just cause you’re scared of a little cold, you can always visit a few times before making the jump.

Not to mention, the state has the best hospital in the country to boast about, Rochester’s Mayo Clinic, so if you relocate anywhere close to it, you know you’re going to be in good hands! Maybe that’s why people who live here know and agree with the fact that Minneapolis is the 5th city on many best places to retire lists!

    Are you kidding? NJ is a state you RUN from. Worst politicians; highest property taxes in the nation! Corrupt and will steal every penny from you. The person who wrote this not for real. Who knows what he/she was paid to write this

    I missed becoming a politician
    I would have free healthcare, no deductibles, no pre- exicisting exclusions, a great salary for life! I also will never need or use Social Security and Medicare therefore I can live anywhere I want to….

    Typical progressive rhetoric, d (I guess “d” is for democrat or just dumb ass). And by the way, it’s the blue regime that has made the mess no matter how much you want to blame others. Sick of listening g to the continuous stream of blue BS! As for these live long suggestions, “J” hit it perfectly, but blue and obviously this website is trying to sell what nobody is buying! Last time I will open any of your emails.

    MA, NY, NJ, CT, MN, and HI are some of the highest taxed states in the country, and all except HI are cold weather states, also you need a high income to live in all of the listed states, but I do know from living in MN that the hospitals are better in northern states than southern states on the fact more people live in those states but living in SC is great weather is great it’s cheaper you can own a home for under 100k and you can live on a 2k social security check in SC you would be hard pressed to do that in any of the states mentioned in this article.
