For many workers, retirement represents an opportunity to reinvent themselves.
“A lot of people feel, well, my job is done, and this is my opportunity to have some fun,” says Dr. Gary Small, chair of psychiatry at Hackensack University Medical Center in Hackensack, New Jersey. He adds that a change of scenery often adds to that sense of fun.
While some retirees travel to explore new places, others want to make a permanent change. With no job tying them to a specific location, they may decide it’s time to move somewhere that offers better weather, more activities or a lower cost of living.
Before you make the move, consider these tips for finding the right place to retire:
- Reflect on your preferences.
- Understand your income and expenses.
- Talk to your family.
- Check the weather.
- Know how you’ll get around.
- Find out your health care options.
- Consider the political climate.
- Look into social activities.
- Calculate your taxes.
