Florida Retirement Realities

Readers Challenge Florida Retirement Rankings Amid Rising Costs And Insurance Issues

The last week's Question of the Weewk featured readers who shared their thoughts about retirement in Florida. The article was prompted by a report from Wallethub.com that suggested that Florida was the second best state in the country to retire to, as well as Florida dominating the top 10 cities to retire. However, only 33 percent of readers agreed that Florida remained a good place to retire, with rising costs and insurance issues cited as reasons for reconsidering living in the Sunshine State. Some readers believe that Florida remains one of the best states to retire and are looking for less expensive options. Others are concerned about politics, rising costs, and rising prices.
