Saying of the Day

     Our Savior from Citizens United!Thankfully the Supreme Court’s “Citizens United” decision didn’t come along until the DVR had been created.


   Now the billionaires can spend millions putting their lies into commercials, and we can fast forward through their crap, wasting those millions for them.

C’mon…..Retirement is GREAT in any State


10 Worst-Rated States for Retirement



Cost of living, climate, crime rates and more factor into Money-Rates.com’s rankings



It’s not uncommon to find a list of the best places to retire, either here or abroad. But a list of the worst places? That’s what the folks at Money-Rates.com pulled together.


The finance website looked at such factors as crime rate, climate, longevity and economic conditions, including taxes, job opportunities and cost of living, to compile a ranking of the 10 worst states for retirement.

Some of the bottom dwellers might come as a surprise. Maine finished dead last in the rankings. The high cost of living and harsh climate dragged down the state’s appeal to retirees. Joblessness and tax burdens weighed on runner-up Michigan. Massachusetts received a poor ranking because of cold weather and the cost of living.

Here are the 10 worst states for retirement, with No. 1 being the lowest-ranked, according to Money-Rates.com:

10. Wisconsin
9. New York
8. Washington
7. Rhode Island
6. Maryland
5. Alaska
4. Connecticut
3. Massachusetts
2. Michigan
