Connecticut
Connecticut brings safety, a low crime rate, and a great healthcare system to the table. These are important qualities to consider when choosing a retirement state. It has a very good rating for its culture and there are many great places to visit in the state. Like Rhode Island, Connecticut is more tailored towards the affluent because of its high cost of living [9].
Utah
Utah has recently started becoming more appealing to retirees [10]. In recent years, the state has featured in many publications’ top ten lists of best states to retire in. This is because of the state’s low healthcare costs and the high quality of life of its residents.
The state offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation. Utah has many forest reserves and several national and state parks with great locations you can go hiking or skiing for fun. Its lack of tax friendliness might matter more than these potentially great experiences for some people.
Conclusion
Choosing a retirement location is not always so cut and dried. It is not just about taxes or affordability or beautiful scenery. Many factors go into the decision and every state has its ups and downs. Whatever state you decide is best for you should meet as many of your desires as you can afford on your budget.
