Have a nest egg? 10 states you should consider for retirement - CBS News

ID comes in at #3 behind Delaware and top ranked New Hampshire. Nothing new or that we don't already know about the state.

For ID, they say:

Idaho's extremely low living expenses catapulted it to third in our study, with one of the lowest cost-of-living scores in the nation -- only Mississippi and Tennessee are cheaper. Retirees also have access to higher-than-average local deposit rates to grow their savings and low local tax rates; residents pay no Social Security, estate, or inheritance taxes and fairly low sales and property taxes.

Idaho was bumped out of the top two spots due to less-stellar health care scores: The state is middle of the line (24th place) when it comes to its seniors' health, and its Medicare payouts are only average. Still, the state's average individual insurance premiums are low -- among the 10 cheapest in the nation.

You have to remember that this is from CBS a company that actually believes the current administration when it says our economy is great and unemployment is around 5%.
