Retirement Living

Minimizing taxes is a worthy goal, but is it worth sacrificing other priorities?

If you have yet to retire, or simply want to elevate the retirement life you’re already living, oftentimes, your best source of advice is from fellow retirees.

Your income and cholesterol level are important numbers that lend to living a long, happy retirement. However, another number that can impact your longevity is your zip code.

As recent Retire With Purpose podcast guest, Ryan Frederick, says, “Your DNA only accounts for about 30 percent of your longevity.” The rest draws down to lifestyle and your environment, which is why finding the “perfect place” in retirement is so important.

Where you decide to live in retirement should mirror your values, purpose and passions. Just like everything else you surround yourself with, you want your residence to bring fulfillment, but choosing where and what that looks like can be challenging.
