While we hope you don’t dread going to work, there is no denying that many people look forward to retirement. What better way to celebrate a life of hard work than to focus on personal projects, hobbies, and spending time with your friends and family?

Better than not being able to afford to live when you retire.
 
West Virginia looks like a good choice. Low cost of living for Old Timers and not that oppressively hot at all.
 
I made more money in my Blue State than I could have in a Red State.

I still can afford to live here, and I live in a nice neighborhood surrounded by nice people.
I can live where I’m at but winters are too cold, crime and homelessness is getting bad. We are getting a Motorcoach and travel so we’ll make our home that is senior friendly then travel anyway.
