I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I’d suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.

[@AlilatTiamiyu]

@@danguRobert That's actually quite impressive, I could use some Info on your FA, I am looking to make a change on my finances this year as well

[@danguRobert]

@@AlilatTiamiyu My advisor is VICTORIA CARMEN SANTAELLA

[@danguRobert]

You can look her up online

[@EmilyEvelyn-90]

@@danguRobert The crazy part is that those advisors are probably outperforming the market and raising good returns but some are charging fees over fees that drain your portfolio. Is this the case with yours too?

[@ganymeade5151]

Not all of these states are cheap. Florida and Arizona have become very expensive. Rebuilding after natural disasters like hurricanes and tornadoes is very expensive. People live in their vehicles in campgrounds until insurance pays up. Insurance is $7,000-$10,000 a year in disaster prone areas and does not always pay replacement costs. Not all have good healthcare. Not all have good nursing homes. Check with CMS.

"Many of us have been dreaming of retirement since the day we entered the workforce" LMAO 🤣😂🤣 true tho

[@ganymeade5151]

Absolutely.

[@KeyboardWarior-j3f]

I need some affordable place that's dry warm and no bugs.

[@mattmallette9797]

Some place warm with golf and I'm all set!

[@jennifero9442]

Is it weird that I would probably retire in Alaska? My husband thinks I'm crazy, but I just think it would be a really unique and fun experience

[@ganymeade5151]

LMAO.

[@stevemendoza3447]

You should think 🤔 it twice Alaska 😂is very expensive, everything is flowing in ..

[@amandagish5976]

There's a town in Iceland, Sefloss, I want to retire there. It's beautiful!

[@BWowed]

I live in wyoming. One thing nobody mentions is the high altitude here. Most of the state is over six thousand foot altitude.

[@drcovell]

Yeah, if you already wheeze or have heart problems, don’t live at higher altitudes!

[@Tbow9999]

Come to Florida i have been here for 50 years and looking to leave soon love the sunshine but not the hurricanes and property taxes and home insurance have made it very expensive and you will be replacing your yard a lot once the storms destroy them every year its time to move on if you love heat and hurricanes and plenty of bugs this is the place for you not as cheap as once was

[@Kathy_Bennett]

I live in NC. I don't think I like calling NC home! It is truly too hot and too humid. There are only 2 true seasons, summer and fall. I live in the middle of the state, so weather wise, you might actually get 3 seasons if you live close to the mountains.

[@mikepowers3655]

I have been doing a lot of research and the wife and I will be leaving Arizona. We have been here since 1991 and are going to Iowa. A culture shock for sure but with all of the benefits to seniors including property tax breaks of $3200+ if you are over 65 can't be beat! Moving to a quiet town of 7500 called Decorah which my daughter lives an hour & 30 minute drive away in Minnesota. Tired of big cities and crime rate skyrocketing so it works for us.

[@travelooo]

I hear you Mike, for sure. Arizona has become increasingly expensive. I have a good friend who lives in Des Moines, Iowa (she's from there) and she loves it...haha, but I think has developed a hatred for the snow/winter. That would be my biggest struggle is the winter in Iowa, but I'm glad you're doing your research! Best of luck to you and your wife! If you're interested, I just did a video on Arizona talking about the things no one really talks about in Arizona - kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4PXeaWCmtGaqMU

[@topplacetoLive]

Any details on healthcare and community amenities in these states? Thanks for helping us plan for retirement with affordability in mind!

[@kylebrowning1476]

I've heard great things about Wyoming, but I'd probably live in a more populated area of Wyoming

[@juicyfruit4378]

Casper or Cheyenne

[@Ripsaw17]

I will be jeading to Tennessee for retirement tired of snow

[@Barbara-jn2gw]

All in the nasty south, ugh

[@Mike232-j2p]

All of this is fluid if everybody took advantage of the best possible choice additional services would be needed and cost more and would be needed plus a lot of people have family grandkids so the farther you move the more expensive to travel to see them or to have the help that family can provide things change with different politicians things to change

[@spacemysteries]

I think Alaska might not be a bad option, no cities to deal with!

[@ganymeade5151]

If you are an outdoorsy type with lots of survival skills.

[@drcovell]

Cities = Healthcare and usually better services!

[@paulapittman5183]

NC does have social security tax.

[@davidg.johnson7208]

Lots of poor, unhealthy states with high crime rates. Narrator talks like these are great States for the retired elderly?!

[@vgshwk]

No thanks I would rather live out of country than the majority of those states.

[@delawariand9860]

New Hampshire is also an option, no income tax

[@travelooo]

Very true, and the nature and views in NH are amazing!!

[@waynv1835]

i've considered/considering nh but no income tax works out when you're working but for retirees who are not working they still have to pay the mega high property tax. and retirees are not spending much so they don't save much on no sales tax.

[@Carolyn-wr9vy]

But property taxes make up for it.

[@drcovell]

We need to get a bunch of folks to move to CA and vote out the Democrats. Every time some politician gets termed out a new “State Board” is created for him to run. A bunch of swine, gobbling down our dollars at the state trough. We have *6* overlapping agencies that purport to care for pregnant women. I am ALL IN on caring for pregnant women, but do they need *2* agencies for each trimester? 🤬🤬🤬

[@travelooo]

Haha, I like the movement to get people to move to CA to overturn the political system. CA really does need some help - it's a hot mess

[@taroman7100]

No they need a damn good dose of birth control.

[@travelshorts2616]

Alabama has alot to offer, and is close to beaches for retirement

[@CalvinPayton-q3u]

F Alabama and that's that!!!!!😂😂

[@bradleyvanzile1111]

30+ retirement for me

[@veronicagarcia6830]

This states are to cold.

[@deedeeotero4475]

Social security benefits are not taxed, anywhere unless you receive more than is allowed (to not be taxed).

[@drcovell]

Not quite my friend. Done states don’t tax SS st all. BTW, I still work because I enjoy Computer Engineering AND because my wife still wants to spend money. I *could* retire but the “Honey-do” projects seem never-ending between my Contract jobs. From January to October this year, by myself, I remodeled a bedroom into an art studio, building my own countertops out of Corian, that adjoining bathroom had everything changed but the window, more countertops and wall plaques of Corian, built 40’ of redwood fence out of scrap lumber from a neighbor, with 6x6 cedar posts sunk two feet deep in gravelly clay as hard as shale every 8’ yo hold it up in El Niño windstorms. (The total of fence built like this since 1990 is 140’ all along the front if our property. Never mind having to power-wash and then repainting everything. Just sitting at a computer is bad and Physical labor is good for my body but DAMN!

[@3on4off]

You get what you pay for…….

[@kurtl2538]

I think I would retire in Florida for sure, beaches, here I come!

[@juicyfruit4378]

Good luck - FL has changed quite a bit and not for the better

[@senolmelek1866]

I m just curious that South Carolina is Not on this list
