Top 8 Worst Cities For Retirement

Seattle, Washington

Seattle is a fantastic place to live if you’re loaded with cash. But for those of us living on social security checks and semi-decent pensions, it’ll be a struggle to live in the city center because rental prices average $2,000 per month.

And besides the high cost of living, this city’s weather is a continuous source of disappointment. It seems like it’s constantly raining, and its winters can be too dark and gloomy. Its residents also grumble about the poor transportation system and horrendous traffic jams.

If you’re like me, and are a fan of sunshine….then this is one of the worst cities you can move to!

…So, even though we’ve all probably romanticized this city due to the onslaught of movies filmed here, you’re better off visiting and NOT moving here!
