[question everything]

No. 3: Minneapolis

Minneapolis places third in the rankings with one of the most "elderly-friendly labor markets in the country," according to WalletHub, which means it has a large percentage of easy-to-perform jobs for seniors who continue to work for extra income or to keep busy.

The city also has the sixth best hospital system, a high number of nursing homes and gerontologists, and ranks as the 29th most caring city.

1. Not in N.E

Ohio it's turned into Solid Trump!

14. Not only is it very red outside of the urban areas, ...

its governmental policies are very hostile to retirees and most families.

2. Florida seems overrated

Anecdotally it was not a good place to retire for my grandparents. But small sample size of 30 years ago.

5. It's not bad.

I moved from Maryland to Florida ten years ago and thought I was living from free due to expenses being so much less. Of course, costs of everything has gone up, but they have everywhere.

9. Not a humidity fan myself

Made the move from Seattle to Pittsburgh almost five years ago myself. Will trade all my cold and snow days to avoid the humid of the south, especially Florida.

10. That is a negative for sure. You go out for ten minutes

and you are drenched.

8. Plus, when it's hot,

It’s HOT. And, you have to worry about storms and evacuating when you’re old.
I grew up in Florida. I have no interest in going back.

4. Holy cow 30 minutes west of Orlando.

I’m living in the number 1 place adjacent. Cool.

6. I have heard horror stories from people getting medical care in Florida

[jimfields33]

11. They have phenomenal hospitals here.

I’m sure a small percentage are not happy with something medical. I mostly hear they are pissed because they won’t renew a pain medication until the time designated. But that’s everywhere. You get a month supply, you can’t go back in a week and request another prescription. Just not how it works.

13. Florida is ranked 41st in medical care

It's no great surprise that Florida ranks low in health care. State leaders are stingy with funding health care, even refusing generous federal funds to expand Medicaid. A new report from the Commonwealth Fund places Florida No. 41 among all the states and in the mid-range of Southeastern states.

7. "easy-to-perform jobs for seniors who continue to work for extra income or to keep busy."

If you need a job, you're not retired. You just left your previous one or got kicked out.

If you need to keep busy, doing volunteer work is contributing to society. Taking a paying job that a younger person might need is just selfish.

My Opinion.

12. So many people in the suburbs and outstate are afraid to come to Minneapolis

I just smile when I heard them talk.
