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!
it appears most recommended offering are in cold climates, are there any that offer warmer climates. good health care. affordable living. low are no taxes on retirement income
Perhaps it’s because our bodies are flesh and bones. And similar to meat that most of us eat, which is the flesh of animals, it’s better preserved at colder temperatures.
I noticed the exact same thing, Charles. Well, how about somewhere near the Gulf of America….Florida!
Depending on your particular preference Charles, which one would you prefer: Apocalyptic hurricanes, or Apocalyptic fires?
All high tax, high crime , and over regulated. Just amazing.
Absolutely C it appears to be a left wing political drive to have people move to these high crime Dem-O-Cratic high cost hell holes. Good luck to all that believe this BS.
I agree as far as I’m concerned they are 6 of the worst states. Total democrat strongholds high taxes high crime and corruption. Where did find the idiot that wrote this crap?
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.
The problem with South Carolina is a shortage of medical staffing, is it not?
LOL; all blue states begging people to come back or stay. You can keep your sanctuary policies and corruption…hard pass.
You make a good point, as someone who will not choose to live in States where education is not a priority, where there is less high quality medical care per capita, where the desires of the bully pulpit crowd are put above those of the secular citizens, where books are burned (or at least removed from student access, where a woman can no longer choose whether or not she is ready to carry a child to term, where there is no restriction on religious interference in education, medical care or whom you are allowed to fall in love with. I don”t want to regress to pre 1940 / 1950 standards when so many suffered to attain those rights which should belong to every State and Commonwealth but instead are only enjoyed by those who can afflord the taxes which then get distributed to those ever lovin’ red states. As for Corruption, I can think of few institutions as corrupt as the Supremely perfect right leaning Court. Nobody is above the law and that includes those who interpret it as well as those who write the laws and the Ultimate Denier in Chief !
You are exactly correct, you should stay in the northern states where you can pay high state tax that does not go the Red states. You will feel good knowing that only about half of your tax money goes to housing, feeding, medical care and educating Illegal Aliens.
Your way of thinking is why our great country has overwhelmingly voted to reject you left leaning “malarkey”. Just think, you are responsible for re-electing our great President TRUMP.
Hopefully you will NEVER decide to move south of the Mason-Dixon line and attempt to corrupt our wonderful way of life. Life is a lot happier and less complicated with our Commonsense approach.
WHAT NUT made this list . Sound like they are already retired in the brain More like they picked the worst
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.
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….
What f**ken idiot came up with this list.
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
