New Jersey is highly ranked on places to retire list

A recent study ranked New Jersey as #6 on the list of 10 Best States to Retire in the United States.

If you're waiting for the punchline, there isn't one.

(I was waiting for one too!)

New Jersey is "affordable"

The study, by Homesnacks, found that New Jersey is an affordable place to live, especially in comparison to places like New York City.

The study also found that New Jersey has "low crime and is filled with people for you to socialize with that are outside of the office life."

I guess you'll never run out of people to talk to...

According to editors, New Jersey has a median income of  $97,126 and an average home price of $495,846.  Those factors contribute to New Jersey's "affordability."

Who knew?

Florida is the "best" place to retire

If you thought Florida would come out on top of this list, you're correct.

After Florida, the top 10 list includes Delaware, South Carolina, Rhode Island, Hawaii, and the Garden State. Next are Michigan, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Maryland.

Where do you plan to retire?

Affordability and amenities may be factors in where you determine to retire. Others may include distance from family, access to health care, and more.
