Everyone Is Moving... To The Wrong Places

If you're getting close to retirement and thinking about leaving your current state, slow down before making one of the biggest financial mistakes people are making today. In this podcast, I share my thoughts after living and traveling throughout much of America. While many people are flocking to the same "popular" destinations, there are still countless small towns across the country where your retirement income can stretch much further and life can be a whole lot quieter. We'll talk about why following the crowd isn't always the best idea, the value of researching overlooked communities, adapting to local culture, and why taking your time before relocating could save you money—and a lot of frustration. Thanks for listening, and as always, I'd love to hear where you think the best small towns in America are.
