Boone, NC is a great little town...Most of these towns seem like they are in the middle of nowhere though. Then I noticed they are "bargain" retirement spots... That makes more sense cause there is nothing to do in Salida, Colorado except white-water rafting. Kind of a strange place for them to suggest retirement :shrug:

Saw this list not too long ago on Yahoo and was not too impressed with it. Seems like I would not want to retire in the USA if these were the "top" choices.

* Yucca Valley, Calif.
* Yuma, Ariz.

They couldn't pay me to live in these places. The key word here is "bargain".

We pretty much get the same weather here. Son was stationed in Brunswick and I know it wouldn't be a retirement destination for me. Summer vacation OK!
