p>If you’ve reached your golden years–or are just planning ahead–then there is a lot to look forward to about retirement. Freedom to travel, filling your day with your favorite hobbies, senior discounts, and spending more time with loved ones. But there are also new challenges that come with being retired. From increasing healthcare needs to restricted or limited income to out-of-control senior living costs, being a senior citizen can make living in your current hometown difficult.
That’s often why seniors choose to move and enjoy their retirement in an entirely new state. While Florida and Arizona are popular choices among retirees, there are plenty of other options too. It’s a smart idea to choose a new hometown in a state that meets all of your needs: desirable year-round climate, senior-focused living and events, strong healthcare and pro-retiree local government, and above all: an affordable cost of living.
