TopRetirements.com
has compiled a list of the 10 worst states in which to retire, based on
five factors: fiscal health, property taxes, income taxes, cost of
living and climate. This year’s Worst 10 List features three new
arrivals – Vermont, Minnesota and Maine – meaning three other states
escaped retirement infamy: Ohio, Nevada and California. After crunching
the numbers, seven of the 10 states to retire in were in the Northeast:
| 10. Wisconsin | 5. Massachusetts |
| 9. Maine | 4. Vermont |
| 8. New York | 3. Rhode Island |
| 7. Minnesota | 2. Illinois |
