by

ALBANY, NY (NEWS10) — Many are retiring later than expected, according to WalletHub, whose latest study — “2023’s Best States to Retire” — tracked the financial strains of the current economy. Therefore, rather than asking when to throw in the towel, the study asked where is the best place to do so.

The study compared the 50 states on 47 key indicators of retirement-friendliness, including affordability, health-related factors, and overall quality of life. New York ranks in the bottom five.

The state came last in affordability, thanks in part to the adjusted cost of living and annual cost of domestic services. According to the study, high taxes also played a role in the ranking of the bottom places.

However, nearby Massachusetts made the top 20. The state ranked first in WalletHub’s quality of life rankings, and its healthcare system outperformed most of the US

The five states where you can retire are Virginia, Florida, Colorado, Wyoming and Delaware, according to researchers. A full list of leaderboards is below.
