Retiring…but not all the way
Mid-size and larger cities are becoming havens for retirees because, among other positive attributes, they offer thriving job markets. So why would that be important to someone who is getting ready to stop working? Because, increasingly, retirees aren't retiring all the way. Or, they're embarking on secondary careers, often part-time, post retirement. "74% of working Americans plan to work past retirement age, with 11% expecting to work full time and 63% expecting to work part-time," said The Street.
Chasing happiness
U.S. New & World Report's 2018 list of the Best Places to Retire compared the top 100 metros for their potential as retirement spots, using data including housing affordability, taxes, and access to healthcare facilities. Their overall desirability and average levels of happiness were also key to the rankings. "Several cities in Texas made the top 10," while "three cities in the mid-Atlantic region are highly rated." You can see the entire list here.
