#10 Oklahoma City

Striking our list at number ten with Oklahoma City, it is actually not a city that you should put on the back burner if you’re used to living in a big town. Being Oklahoma State’s capital city, you know it will be bustling with activity, but out of the average monthly spending of $1,725, you will find yourself paying more for healthcare than anything else.

While rent is higher, coming up to about $830, it’s actually not that bad considering everything. After all, the healthcare costs come in at more than half of the rent, at $506. You should keep that in mind if you plan on moving there, but the city is beautiful, so we know you will have a lot of fun things to do.

    Was going to say somebody needs to vet those numbers, then saw that this article is almost 3 years old. Pretty sure rent in Texas and Oklahoma is over a grand a month now…

    Why is it that Democrat voters run and move to red states for more security and bring that same ignorant ideology with them? Only to continue to vote for the same ignorance that made them want to move in the first place. The so called “powers-to-be” run that guilt trip on Americans about equity and inclusion. If you feel left out, that’s on you. You cannot make society love you. You must first love yourself. You should also learn to do for yourself. Opportunity is what America gives, and it is yours for the taking.

    San Francisco should be on the list. Rent is zero. All you need is a sleeping bag. Just be careful where you step.

    Its important for retired persons to know about climate(blizzards, searing high temperatures, etc); heating-cooling costs; public transportation and vehicles for hire. Also real crime info- if persons have health insurance as part of their retirement package- that will not necessarily change where you live. But Texas is in recent years has tornado’s, hurricanes, blistering heatwaves and snow blizzards. And the State’s utility infrastructure has not been able to withstand the weather pressures- heat or cold.

    Just paying a few hundred $$ a month won’t help a retired ( with physical limitations) live a better quality of life.

    Keep researching though, retired persons are looking for possible alternative places to live. THANK YOU for the article.
