According to a 2014 article from USA Today, retirement moves are making a comeback. Retirees often feel the financial constraints of their current living environment, which pushes them to move to other states where they feel safer with their money.
Florida, for example, is a hot spot for older people. According to USA Today, the state gains more than 50,000 older movers every year because of the low cost of living and positive reputation Florida has for being a good spot for seniors.
But Florida isnt one of the best states to live out the rest of your days. In a report released this week, 24/7 Wall St. revealed the best and worst states to live out the rest of your life. The report looked at the cost of living, median incomes, and what people aged 65 and older valued in their communities in terms of safety, wellness and community life.
Here are the reports top states to grow old in.
