Okay, Iʻm quickly reaching retirement age. My state pension combined with social security amounts to a measly $1400.00 a month. I also just sold the home I grew up in after over 51 years, and after dividing the proceeds with my 5 siblings (none who live here anymore) my portion came out to a tad over $100,000. I have done my math and coming to the realization that it will be a struggle to survive here when I retire.
Can anyone here suggest a nice place to retire where my wife and me can buy a nice home for under $100,000 (the more under the better), live off of $1400.00 a month comfortably, and where the weather is not too severe in the winter, and racial prejudice might be low? Decent medical facilities within an hourʻs drive a plus, and I should have health insurance when I retire. I donʻt like city life so rural would be much preferred or a small town like Kailua used to be would be okay.
Any suggestions? Is this even possible? Hawaiʻi has the highest homeless population per capita in the USA and I can see why, donʻt want to join their ranks if possible.
