Retiree Havens: Top States They are Moving to in 2023.
Today we are looking at the most popular states where people relocate for retirement. Last week we created the best video that has ever been uploaded to RU-vid! Ok, it wasn’t the best, but I liked it. Anyway that video was about which states retirees left the most when they stopped workin, and today we look at where over 80% are moving to. That’s right over 80% of retirees that relocate move to these 10 states.
Whether it's a change of scenery, a more affordable cost of living, the opportunity to be closer to loved ones, or one of the countless other reasons retirees choose a new state.
Millions of Americans retire every year, and most will stay in their home state, this video is only about how many choose these 10 states and why. These stats are based on the US census Community survey.
If you decide you want a new state and need a real estate agent there is a link for home and money below, they can find you and the agent anywhere in the country I am sure

I just sold a property in Portland and I'm thinking to put the cash in my retirement fund or stocks, I know everyone is saying its ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? How long until a full recovery? How are other people in the same market raking in over $450k gains with months, I'm really just confused at this point.

@PennyBergeron-os4ch 4 месяца назад

diversifying your investments is the safest way to handle it. One way to lessen the effects of a market crisis is to distribute investments over a variety of asset classes, such as international equities, bonds, and real estate. It's critical to look for expert advice.

@FinnBraylon 4 месяца назад

A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.

@jasonknight5863 Год назад

Agreed 👍🏻 nobody puts a place with 9 months of cold 🥶 winter weather at the top of the list for retirement that’s in their right mind anyhow. Added to that is the boring, bland local foods they have. The summer is over as soon as it begins is what it feels like after living there over 20 years. Not to mention the atrocious amount of Mosquitoes 🦟 all summer. We had to spray for mosquitoes ever other week in the suburbs. Not to mention the ticks that jump on you and your dog as soon as it goes outside which may give you lime disease 🦠 and the lack of fresh seafood. A small bag of frozen salmon or cod costs over $25. Nothing fresh but bland lake walleye fish. Glad to be gone from it the passive aggressive people and the cliqué’s was super annoying.

Come on over to Tennessee. You'll discover we're a great state. Two things, though: 1. Avoid Memphis at ALL cost! Every state has that one city. I Tennessee it's Memphis. 2. Nashville is awesome but it starting to get expensive because so many of you are moving there. Try Clarksville, Knoxville and Chattanooga. Nashville is right in the center of the state so you're never more than a couple hours drive tops. You can get afford air fare and fly to Florida for nice beaches when you want. Less than $100 round trip. Get yourself a frequent flier's credit card. You'll be happy at how far you money will stretch here and how much real estate you can buy with your equity less the Nashville area. No income taxes, some of the cheapest utilities and some of the lowest property taxes. If you'll get out you'll discover there's a lot to do here. I wish I lived half way between Chattanooga and Knoxville. West Tennessee is the cheapest real estate but, again, avoid Memphis like the plague!

@athos1974 Год назад

As you get older, eventually mobility becomes an issue. If you move to a state that has hurricanes, when you are young it's not a big deal to pack and evacuate. When you are old, everything becomes more difficult, especially if you are trying to evacuate. And really, you definitely don't want that stress as a senior citizen. Just consider the immediate problem with medications. You can't go to the doctor to get examined and get prescriptions written if your doctor has evacuated. Or if there is no power, so all the pharmacies are closed. When the time comes, I definitely don't want to live somewhere that the power can be out for days/weeks.

A rate of 70 homocides per 100,000 people. Cars get broke into all over, even at the paid parking lots at the Pelicans and Saints games.

I live near Laramie, it’s probably the best place to live in the US if you can overcome the windy winter and low paying jobs. If you’re retiring, and job isn’t a priority, Laramie WY is possibly the best place to be especially with a ski resort only 40 minutes away. Also, Northern Colorado such as Loveland and Fort Collins are also great options. Loveland is one of the most beautiful cities I’ve lived in! There are mountains, canyons and mesas within less than a 20 minutes drive from Loveland’s downtown. Not to mention Loveland and Fort Collins are relatively more affordable than other places in Colorado. Of course, winter in Colorado can be very cold, but it’s still sunny. Wyoming and Colorado are some of the sunniest states in the country.

You speak of eustis, Tavares, Leesburg and I agree...it's more feasible than others...but at that speed of development I realized I'd be ok until about 70 ( I'm 56 now)....then I'd be at the mercy of whatever happens around me.

The 3 most important things to me when i look for a city, state, or country to retire to is: 1 health care. Access to good affordable medicine and doctors. 2 safety and security. Stable governments and good law enforcement. Safe banking as well. 3 affordability. To be able to live off a benefits check and not feel like I'm living paycheck to paycheck. Don't need to feel like a king but yet don't need to feel like i need to look for a job. Bonus would be that if another country has English speakers.

It’s basically more Alabama than Florida. 90% Alabama/ 10% Florida. Schools are very unchallenging (my kids are in 7th and 11th). Our household has Caribbean and Asian heritage, and that is non-existent here. So the foods we have been used to buying our entire lives are now 4-6 hours away.

After leaving my deep blue state of Connecticut, the sale of my house paid for my new home and a duplex in NC that I am renting to pay for my retirement. I haven't even been there. The rent covers the cost of a local manager, and I am thinking of buying another with the profits from the first. Bottom line "Leave the Blue States".
