Top States To Retire In - See Where Virginia Lands

State of Virginia

And Virginia is also for Retirees!

Are you dreaming of the day when you can say goodbye to the office and head to a beach for good? While you may have a specific place in mind for the latter part of your life, not every state is all that great for it, and a new report reveals which ones are the best and the worst. 

WalletHub looked at all 50 states to determine which are the best and worst to retire to. Wilde moved home to VA because this is where she wants to retire, meanwhile Wicker says he's not sure yet.....he's too young! lol...aren't we all.

They judged each state based on 45 key indicators in areas of affordability, healthcare and overall quality of life.

Now we we've all heard jokes about Florida being filled with old people, and they're funny, because apparently they are true.

Florida once again tops the list as the best state to retire in. Neither Wicker or Wilde would want to retire there.....

The Sunshine state scored a 61.09 out of 100 and landing at four for affordability, and six for overall quality of life as well.
