very interesting that cold places are better financially than warmer climates..

caught my attention that the state of Maine though is not in the list of best places to retire but in fact in the list of worst.

damn sure cold up there..

Coincidence I googled this a few months back. Was looking for a state that didn't screw you on retirement benefits.

Wasn't any place I was looking to relocate.

I could live in Washington. It's quite nice along the Columbia River.

I could live in Washington. It's quite nice along the Columbia River.

My dad retired there after almost 60 years in Texas. He lives in a town called Colville which is real close to that river. He has always been a city/suburb guy(Houston) and decided to buy 190 acres out there in the mountains.

After 8 years or so, he absolutely loves it but could do without the winters. There is one drawback though......those bastads turned him into a semi-democrat from a total republican!

He does find himself going into Seattle more often these days to get away from the monotonous of nature, he still craves a little city action and Spokane doesn't offer much in that regard.
