25 worst states to retire in

https://moneywise.com/a/ch-b/americas-worst-states-to-retire-in?utm_campaign=955760&utm_source=taboola&utm_medium=Desktop&utm_term=msn-msn-home&utm_content=89814876

Whoever wrote the blurb about Indiana does not have a clue about hot, humid (air that you wear!) summer nights in southern Indiana.

Sure if you win a big jp you'll have millions, but still, taxes, weather, natural disasters , etc.....

Of course every place has something not so hot but you don't have to live in tornado alley or buy a home on a sinkhole.

Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners.

There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

Research should include . . .

How severe is the area substance abuse . . because that epidemic is EVERYWHERE!

How long does it take to see a doctor . . which may be MONTHS in some areas!

Where does the water flow when it is raining buckets . . pay the premium for "High Ground"!

That was a ridiculous write up on Indiana and to make it worse to live here than Illinois!! Seriously!! The entire state is not in Tornado Alley and our water is fantastic!! The only air pollution in the state is up in Gary which is really a suburb of Chicago. Southern Indiana is beautiful with all the hills and northern Indiana is full of lakes, trees and green grass and fields.

Northern Indiana is like living in a freezer 6 months of the year, high crime, run down cities, and not much goes on in southern Indiana. Indianapolis is a poor excuse for a "big city" state capital. The state does have some of the best private schools in the country but public transportation in very limited and there is no culture in the state. At least Chicago has real museums and transportation systems. Give me a real city any day. I turned down jobs in that state when I graduated.

DO NOT BE AFRAID.

It's said there are only about a handful of major markets that are worthwhile if you are urbane inclined.

Naturally people can be happy anywhere, but if you are a sun worshipper it can be a choice of 150 days vs 300

However the top urban centers have major resources with inherent vibrant powerful energies that will act and impact on us, physically, mentally and spiritually.

//////////////////////////////////////////

Artist77, I lived in Evansville for two years, best place I've lived in the Midwest. Letterman called it the biggest little city no one knows about.

Unfortunately it's right on the Ohio river. Something I'll never do again is live that close to a river.

I've got to0 admit though the annual Thunder on the Ohio is something to see (speed boats).

One time three of us went to the Evansville zoo, spent the day there, and then headed to Holiday World. We stayed at a motel not to far from there and I was delighted to find out that the local minor league baseball team was playing that night. This was about 4:00 pm.

By game time the humidity was so brutal that all thoughts of going to the ball game were gone.

Indianans are proud to be Hoosiers.

I went from Evansville to St Louis and some other people from Evansville went to. In St Louis "hoosier" is a very derogatory term and the St Louis folk were saying, "I can't believe these peoppe are proud to be hoosiers."

Saylorgirl,

Glad you chimed in, thanks.

There's (or was) a gym in Evansville called The Pit that's one of the best in the U.S. People would come in and ask ask about aerobics or cardio and were shown a duffel bag filled with sand.

Edessa,
I've always said that if you live somewhere like Estonia you don't have much choice about the weather, but in the U.S.

To each their own but I'd take Flagstaff over Phoenix every time.

A few of those appeared om "Most dangerous countries to avoid" a few days ago.

I plan on staying right here in Texas. Cost of living is low. Red state, except Austin.

We might move out to Possum Kingdom, or maybe down to the Hill Country. I do want to get out of the DFW metroplex.

Possum Kingdom Lake? I watched My Lottery Dream Home and saw the lake. There are probably parties going on now.

Coin Toss. Never visited Evansville. Did not know they had a zoo. Humidity is terrible and winters are brutal. No excuse not to have good grades in Northern Indiana due to staying inside to avoid the weather. Lol

Aerist77,

There's a very unique town in southern Indiana called New Harmony. everyone should visit it for a history lesson.

It attempted to be a utopian colony several times butas one of the guidebooks say, "While the intellectuals spent the winter discussing philosophy and politics inside, the hogs ate that coming winter's crops outside."

Also has a very unique cemetery with no headstones or markers of any kind.

Saylorgirl,

Been there?

How depressing. I guess the best on that list would be New Mexico but nothing I would consider before.

Give me that jackpot and I will find my perfect place!
