Cheap Places to Retire

If you are planning to retire with very limited resources, you may be interested in discovering some of the cheapest places to retire in the United States.

Interestingly enough, three of the top ten cheap communities that were recently listed by Kipplingers are located in the state of Texas.  As a former resident of Texas, I can attest that it is a great place to live.  However, if you don't want to live in Texas, there are other places on their list that may interest you, too.

Finding the Best Places to Retire

One of the decisions that Baby Boomers are facing is where to live as they prepare to retire.  Do you want to live in Southern California or Florida?  Or, are you interested in living somewhere with low housing prices and a low crime rate?

CNN recently came up with a list of places within the United States that have a low cost of living, good medical care, and lower than average crime rates.

This article summarizes the information provided by CNN, so you can decide if any of these locations appeal to you.  Do your research thoroughly.  You could easily live another 20 to 30 years after you retire!
