What Are The Worst Cities To Live Out Your Retirement?

For most of us, the location where we retire isn’t hard to work out. After all, living close to family and friends is often one of the biggest deal-breakers for what most people picture their golden years to be like.

Also, many people won’t want to part ways with a town or region they’ve called home for most of their lives. Still, many others are happy to use retirement as a chance to explore.

Sometimes it’s a matter of wanting a sunnier climate, and others might just want to trade in the high cost of living and fast pace of a big city for somewhere better suited to living on a fixed budget.

Regardless of why you may want to move, carefully consider your desired landing spot. You don’t want to end up living in one of the worst cities in America!

You should consider your nest egg and carefully plan around certain expenditures like the annual cost of living or what it will cost you if you need to hire a home healthcare worker for you or your spouse.

But besides all this, if you’ve already decided that you want a change of scenery, be careful of the location you move to. Not all cities are worth your peace of mind. Let’s take a closer look at the 8 worst cities to live in America!

…Keep reading to see if your hometown is among the worst cities!
