For the retiree that's willing to relocate...

When you're planning for retirement, there are plenty of factors to consider. What will you do with all your free time? Do you have enough saved to live comfortably? Will you be working part-time in retirement? One other question to think about, though, is where you'll live. Many retirees choose to stay put during their golden years, but if you're up for an adventure, moving to a new state can be an exciting way to save a lot of money in retirement. Not all states are retiree-friendly, though, so if you're looking to move, it's important to choose the right retirement destination -- and these are some of the best states to call home.
