Florida ranks at the top of the best states for retirement.
Trying to plan ahead for where you'll spend your golden years? WalletHub has done a good portion of the legwork for you, looking closely at three categories—affordability, health care, and overall quality of life—in all 50 states to see which ones offer the best retirement options.
Hate articles like this. They don't fit everyone and assume all one retiree cares about is to have exactly the same things every other retiree does...and to pay the least for it. Personally I DESPISE Florida. Horrible weather, too many people, fairly predictable hurricanes, weird politics, businesses scrambling to take advantage of oldsters, ticky tacky "pseudo luxuries", the list goes on.

yea and if you are trying to escape from those darn hurricanes, it is almost like you are trapped.
I'm not a fan of Florida but I do understand why people like to retire there. It must look awfully appealing to those who are tired of the long, cold, snowy, dreary winters in the northeast and midwest states. Hurricane season would scare me off, though I'm OK with earthquakes.
I'd like to see a list of "Best Places to Retire for People Who Can Afford to Live Anywhere". I imagine it would be quite different. These lists always seem to assume low retirement incomes, hence the accent on affordability. I once Googled "Florida Bugs" . Never again.
Florida is my place. If I can't look out the window and see palm trees, then it is too far north.
Tried Arizona, too dry, too hot in summer and chilly in winter.
