Newsletter Archive

We had a terrific member suggestion this week: why not put all of the links and references in one place for researching what it is like to retire in any given town. In response we've assembled links for categories like housing prices, taxes, weather, crime, walkability, etc. in this handy article. We are hoping you will make this list even better by adding your best retirement sources in the Comments section.

As a follow up to last week's article about finding a great retirement job, don't miss the great suggestions made by our members in the Comments section.  We've also added the Wall St. Journal's tips for baby boomers trying to be entrepreneurs, a NY Times profile on 4 boomers who reinvented themselves in retirement, and another study which suggests retirees who have a purpose preserve their cognitive abilities better.

If you like this newsletter please forward it to a friend.  We also offer a Daily Digest (it provides a link to everything new on the site from the day before), plus New Active Adult Communities (2 versions of recently added 55+ communities: East & West).

Looking for help narrowing down where you should consider retiring? Our Retirement Ranger quiz asks you 9 quick questions like cost, location, climate, etc.  You'll then get an instant customized report that matches your preferences. Take it as many times as you like with different choices, it's free!
