Florida may not be the ideal location for retirement according to some new research from Bankrate. Based on tax rates, crime states, weather and health care, Bankrate has ranked all fifty states to find the best ones for retirees. Florida ranks 17th! Connecticut comes in 32nd
New England has two states that make the top of the list. New Hampshire claims the top spot and Maine claims the third spot. Surprised? I am too. I guess Bankrate didn’t factor in cold weather as Minnesota and Colorado also made the top 5.
