When planning your retirement location, consider several factors. Do you want to live near family or friends? Do you prefer a specific climate? Does the new location have access to good healthcare facilities, grocery stores, and other amenities that you want or need? Will you be planning to travel in retirement? If so, consideration of the distance to an airport, train, or bus station may be important. What will you do with your time? Are amenities for these activities near the location or an acceptable distance to your new location? What retirement income and will you have? Will that cover what you anticipate your expenses to be?
Retirement Finances
Finances can be a driving factor in determining the location you choose. According to a US News & World Report article by Rachel Hartman, some of the main financial criteria to evaluate before relocating for retirement should include housing, cost of living, and taxes. With this in mind, research the area you are considering. Will you be renting or buying? Do you want a home, a condo, a retirement community? Will there be maintenance at this new home? If so, how much maintenance do you want to do or will you pay to have done? What other cost of living expenses will you incur? What about the taxes? It is important to understand the tax laws and how they will affect your retirement income. Are there additional state, local, and/or property taxes?
It is easy to look at the exciting adventure of a move but one should make sure to consider all aspects. An article from North American Moving Resources offers additional thoughts about avoiding pitfalls when considering your new retirement location. An example is this would be moving near family only to have them move away due to a job transfer or some other reason. They suggest making a list of all the pros and cons, along with a budget, to help make that final decision.
