So the CNN article links to the venerable "Wallethub.com" as its source. But when you go to Wallethub Vermont is ranked as #34 for best places to retire. Curiously, Wallethub deems Vermont #7 in quality of life and # 6 in healthcare but #48 in affordability. Maybe, just maybe things are unaffordable because many people actually *do* want to live here. Even in retirement!

In conclusion, these lists are garbage.

So should we start calling it Walletfeed or Buzzhub?

Yes they are garbage but Vermont taxes social security income when NH and MA don't. That's one of the biggest reasons my parents didn't come up. That and cost of living is high; 17% above national average.

Don't we also have one of the highest life expectancies?
