When ranking the best states to retire, metrics such as taxes, housing costs, and even weather often come into play. An article by Barron’s suggests one key metric is often overlooked – health. Factors such as the cost of medical insurance and access to doctors need to be considered.
While states like Florida and Arizona often rank highly on “best places to retire” lists, evidence shows they often score poorly when it comes to your health and wellness. Rather, New Hampshire and Massachusetts scored high according to health rankings.
Your Retirement Should Be Easy and Worry-Free
Retirement should be your golden years. Unfortunately, millions of older Americans are struggling financially, burdened by inflation and high healthcare costs. More retirement income will give seniors the cushion they need. That’s one reason the Council of Seniors is dedicated to getting Congress to passThe SAVE Benefits Act. This legislation is crucial because the annual Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) has fallen short in recent years. If we succeed, the $581 withheld from seniors’ benefits will be returned.
