If retirement is in your cards in the not-so-distant future, it probably means that you will have to live on a fixed income, which for a lot of us can be a bit daunting. Especially when compared to when we didn’t have this type of limitation. This is why you may be looking into changing your hometown, as there are a few cities that will allow you to live your retirement life to the fullest while still stretching that dollar to the max!
According to a study, the average American who is 65 and older spends, on average, about $1,982.25 each month. This amount included the cost of rent, groceries, and any healthcare costs they may have had.
And if you already know that your budget cannot exceed $2,000 a month, then it’s high time to make that strategic move. By that, we mean that you should consider moving to a city where you will be living within your budget, so you can possibly save some money too.
It’s a strategic move, and truly, there are lots of places all around the country where you could make this move. We just chose some of the best cities in our opinion and brought you an estimate as to how much living there would cost.
Be it that you want to change the climate, be closer to family, or are looking for a strong sense of community since you have more free time now, we think we’ve got a place for you no matter which city you choose! And don’t worry! We did the math for you, so you will know, on average, how much money it would cost you to live in that city!
Have you considered moving somewhere else after you retire?
Most of those cuties have a high crime rate which the author overlooks.
All red state because democrats ruin everything! there corrupt and mentally ill.
???. People are polarized politically..life is not black and white…
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.

We live in Calif. Blue state but our community is very RED. Great neighbors.
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.
