A lot of us are doing everything we were told to do in order to be able to have some retirement savings put aside, but the reality is that a lot of us don’t actually have these things. Some may have a 401(k) plan, but it’s not a reality for a lot of Americans, and when surveys show that around 40% of adults have less than $300 in their savings account, it really puts things into perspective. What do you do when you end up not having anything put aside when you retire?
Most likely, you will end up having to rely on Social Security benefits, which for a lot of the people who find themselves with almost nothing, it doesn’t sound like they will be able to live comfortably. Here’s where they would be wrong!
You can definitely live more comfortably even if you don’t have a ton of savings, but, as always, it matters where you live. This is why we have looked at some of the most popular cities for retirees to pick the ones that would best suit the people who don’t have millions in the bank!
These cities have some of the biggest populations of 65 and older adults, so you know you will not feel out of place, and they also have some of the best average house prices if you do choose to move there. Moreover, the annual healthcare costs wouldn’t be that increased, they’re definitely considered safe places, and the overall taxes you will have to pay aren’t that high!
Did we get your attention? Continue reading to find out which of these amazing cities will offer you the most savings, and discover which state has the most retirees!
I live in Egypt and love it-housing and food are affordable, health care is good and affordable. Also the people are very nice. If you live in Cairo, there is a large expat community although I prefer living among the locals.
In Nebraska the home of the corn single mom, tattooed, supper plus sized, rusty mini van wheelen, welfare loven whoes we are taxed to support these loosers. Yes, the corn people let the crooks & murders & rapest out of jail so we get to live in fere for the children of the corn.
I spent 2 weeks on Negros Island and loved it! Much cooler than Manila for example and cleaner.
I could never live in a hot and humid state. I am active and not a chair rocker don’t want to live in an air conditioned box. Cold weather states with snow are the only ones I would ever concider since again I am active with fall and winter activities. Also could not live in the city, love rural living.
Central WA State, Moses Lake great place to live, growing but safely. 26,000 for now. People friendly, willing to help others, many of all ages, races, ethnic groups living here. No one has a superior attitude. Sales tax is all for WA State. No income tax and each time it is proposed, voters shut it down.
5 hr drive to the Pacific Ocean beaches, 2 hrs drive east to Spokane. 300+ days of sunshine. Winter snow measured in inches, usual is 3″. Hot Summers, but 90s average. Dry climate. Most storms pass on by and no major storms.
I have lived in Grant County, WA since 1972. Come visit, check us out this Summer.
New houses being built and older homes, lots to choose from at low pricing.
Check out the Moses Lake website. Moses Lake, a better place to work, play, live.
In Nebraska you get to pay 500 dollars a year to license your 6 year old GMC while in surrounding states it would be 15 to 35 or 45 dollars. Do not try to register your vehicle in other states or the people will get you unless your an illegal looking to rob you blind.
I think if I had no more ties to keep me here, I’d take a chance on learning a new language. I’ve got a substantial retirement buffer and quite frankly I’m not sure how much worse it could be in another country. The flippin’ idiots that have systematically boxed millions of decent people into thinking about making this jump because of their naivete in believing the stupid, greedy, mismanagement and lies they’ve been fed, all because they’ve convinced enough of us they were elected and know what’s best. Excuse me but no, I don’t want to drink that Kool-aid any longer.
Move away from Pennsylvania..They tax you for everything and their taxes are outrageous….
Nowhere is it mentioned about culture, health care, cost of food or gas. Based on your study, I’d rather live in my 40ft Class A motor home.
I retired in Brazil. Free health care which includes unlimited doctor´s visits, hospitalizations, transplants, free hearing aids and cataracts surgery, affordable medicine and many is free.
save places to live with high security, great climate and extremely nice people. You can live well on your Social Security income.
