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!
