Do you know which states give seniors the best quality of life ?
Retirement is probably the best period of time. We no longer have the stress of going to work; our kids are grown up, and they probably moved away from home years ago. Now we have the time of our lives to spend it as we please. But between the pandemic, inflation, and skyrocketing prices for everything, the thought of being less stressed seems far away.
However, the future doesn’t need to be that dark! And here’s the good news: in America, there are some states that allow retirees to live a longer and more prosperous life. If you’re curious about which states provide the best quality of life that allows you to enjoy your golden years, click on the next page to see the rest of the article. And by the end of it, don’t forget to leave us a comment to tell us if you’re among the lucky ones that live in one of these states. Let’s start!
NJ is the most expensive state. Highest property tax, income tax, insurance and college tuition. Many people leave because there pension does not go far there. The reason many move to states without state income tax and or sales tax.. And you have to pay school tax even if you never had kids or don’t have kids in school anymore. No other state has higher taxes than NJ. Oh and NJ as well as California has an exit tax. What that means is if you move out of the state they tax you for doing so.
This is the worst list I’ve ever seen. Why would Washington DC be on it? The crime statistics are crazy, no one would want to live there, not to mention the cost of living. Why a?isn’t Texas mentioned where seniors can enjoy the quality of life that being outdoors brings.
,,,well…an interesting article, I like the states of Colorado. South Dakota, even D.C. …LOL…first of all I’m from Nebraska, so I’m familiar with the Midwest lifestyle…but I dunno about moving back because of tornados, extreme winters…plus a little boredom. I am now in Nevada ( Las Vegas) for 25+ years. I love it. It may not be at the top of many lists, but after coming here from California after 30 years there, it simply can’t be matched. I can and have access to International airports, recreation within 500 miles , shopping, arts, sports and entertaiment . This is a good list, just not my choices for now. And yes; retirement income is a great factor. Part time work for seniors that want it is readily available. Bottom line in all cases is to choice .
You people are nuts. You make it so hard to read this article, because of the dozens of ads in the way I gave up looking after “let’s get started”. I could get no further after 4 attempts. Anything to sell other crap I guess!
The combination of cold climate areas and high taxes makes your list makes me think you meant the worst states to retire. No thanks, I’ll stay south of the Mason-Dixon Line.
