We usually think about the best cities for retirement, but what about the WORST ones?
Considering retiree’s needs, there are a lot of great places for retirement in the United States, but there are also some that you should strictly AVOID.
Not all cities provide a good healthcare system or an affordable and practical lifestyle for our golden years. Most of the cities tend to be either very luxurious or very poor. Even though we usually spend our time thinking about the best options for retirement, I believe we should also consider the places that need to be avoided. Nobody wants to spend their life as a retiree in a city where healthcare lacks resources or the costs of living are way too expensive.
