10 Places to Avoid When You Retire

3. New York

The inclusion of one of the world’s most famous cities may shock you. However, when you realize the sky-high costs of living coupled with residents fighting for space, everything starts to make sense. Poverty rates are at an all-time high and access to healthcare is generally expensive. Taxes are generally exorbitant, particularly property taxes. The weather is also less than ideal. It can get hot and sticky during summer and cold and frigid during the winter. If you are looking for a calm place that you can actually afford, you should steer far away from New York.
