Mindy spot on. Some of WV is very close to wealthy areas of VA. I work at a hospital and many employees and patients live in WV. Also know someone who lives in PA and works in MD for tax savings and housing costs.
Ga is not affordable in the Atlanta metro areas. Houses in a decent neighborhood start at $600k. But Atlanta has sports, entertainment, and cultural sites/events, nice weather, mountains nearby.
Bartlett Tennessee is a great place for geo arbitrage I’m a realtor and mortgage loan officer here I relocated from east coast to this place and live this place😂
Mindy and Scott are awesome, but this episode should have been thrown right in the recycling bin to suggest that West Virginia and Mississippi belong on the top 10 places not only to retire but live in general is laughable. West Virginia ranked dead last in healthcare. Good thing that’s not too important when you’re retired.😅
Everybody’s perfect place to retire is going to be different. Everyone should figure out what’s their perfect place is, and then strive to save enough to be able to retire there, no matter if that place is expensive or cheap.
Newark is in New Jersey, New-Ark is in Delaware. C'mon Scott, every Marylander should know that. You sound like a Howard County guy.... No kidding, WVa is cheap to live in, its because there is nothing to buy. Sorry, Mindy, the part of Virginia near WVa isn't is not where the good healthcare is. Also, WVa is much larger than you think, and when you're 80 in February in WVa you dont want to drive a few hours each week to go visit a doctor in Va or Ohio. Seriously, no one moves to WVa to retire unless they have to, particularly if you’re on the path to FI.
@scotttrench4169 I'm a more snoody MoCo guy🤣. To me you have no accent, so when you said Maryland, and your parents paid for college, I took a guess between the two counties. 🤣🤣 And yes, that toll on 95 is just a pure money suck, and I laughed, because I know the detour (near the Univ of Del) you can take to avoid it.
No offense to anyone who appreciates this, but it seems kind of silly/pointless to me. Maybe it could be nice if you are trying to decide between a couple of options you're already interested in, but who's going to actually move across the country to Delaware if they know no one there, have no connection to the area, and have all their friends and family somewhere else just because it was #1 on some list?!? Maybe it's just me, but I see little value in lists like this, and struggle to see many people really changing their minds because of it. Same thing with the rental market studies that come out on BP regularly. I think the average person is way further ahead just investing in a place they know and have trusted connections and first hand knowledge of communities than "some hot market" where they know no one and are liable to make a ton of mistakes due to the unfamiliarity and lack of a trusted crew.
Agreed. I could see the list having value for someone if they already lived in a great place and were already considering moving, but they didn't realize the downsides they'd face. These lists may help someone consider factors they hadn't thought of. But I can't imagine myself moving to a place without a community or support system. Kudos to those who can build those from scratch, but it's certainly an uphill climb.
Thanks for sharing awesome tips! I'm 41 financially free and currently growing a solid retirement plan. It takes a positive attitude and consistency to learn new things and unlearn the old habits. It is important to get a mentor or coach to lead you all the way. It's great to start young too!
Investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. I've learned this from my own experience. If you're new to investing or don't have much time, it's best to get advice from an expert.
I work with Caroline Suzan Olson, her services are cost effective and very efficient. I recommend her to anyone, anytime any day. she's really great You can do your own due diligence.
I recently sold half my tech stock holdings due to all-time highs, leaving me with $400k. Should I invest in ETFs now or wait for a market correction considering potential inflation?
From $37K to $45K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I thinks it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.
I recently lost my job at the age of 45. In addition to having access to Tricare and VA healthcare, I also receive a 9K military pension. I'm thinking of selling or renting my house and moving overseas with my cash, assets, and 401(k). What are some good passive income opportunities?
These are crucial questions for a financial planner. I met mine at a NYSE summit, and with her help, my wife and I reallocated our $1.7M portfolio between a traditional IRA and a brokerage account. She’s been making investments with our approval and has helped us recover twice our losses. We’re holding steady and carefully navigating more markets
!I just switched up my Roth IRA to 50% SCHD, 25% SCHX, 25% SCHG, and my Roth 401k is 70% vanguard S&P 500 index, 20% vanguard growth index, and 10% vanguard international index. Seeking best possible ways to grow $350k into $2m+ before retirement

Funny! I retired early in Washington. I guess it all matters where you live in the state. I kept my housing low and income high.

WVa....the problem, is it's WVa. Not very close to metropolitan areas like Pittsburgh or DC. We spend weeks in Delaware each year, that's a potential.

How exactly are you scoring/weighing diversity? Haha I'm just curious how this would actually affect my enjoyment of retirement.

Hi, I'm 35 working on my retirement fund too. What do you think is the best target for retirement?

Whenever something is cheap there is a REASON
I retired in Cali, would love to leave, however it isn’t too bad from a financial perspective, politics is terrible though
Don't work for money; make money work for you. Invest wisely today to create the freedom you desire tomorrow!!!

It makes sense to consider a financial advisor at this stage, but delaying retirement might be a smarter choice

Florida is expensive. People can't afford insurance and the Governor doesn't care
Pennsylvania is the best state.
What state has cheap groceries? I think that’s a big concern.
Easy. Massachusetts

VOO.
Go read a book
Yes, read Simple Path to Wealth, and it'll give you the tools to start investing.
