Best State to Retire in 2025: Florida has been named the best state for retirement in 2025, according to a recent report by WalletHub. The study looked at more than 180 cities across the United States and tried to find the best places for older people to live comfortably. It focused on the things that really matter to retirees, especially those who live on fixed incomes and want to enjoy their golden years without too much stress.

The study looked at many factors.
Affordability mattered a lot. They checked the cost of living, taxes, electricity and utility costs, and home services. Florida scored high because it is easier for retirees to manage their money there compared to other states.
The report checked the activities available. Parks, museums, theaters, and sports facilities all make life fun for seniors. Florida also offers lots of options for older people to stay active and enjoy their free time.
The researchers looked at the number of people over 65, how friendly the senior communities are, and the climate. Florida’s warm weather and many retirement-friendly towns helped it rank at the top.
Healthcare was considered. Life expectancy, quality of public hospitals, and home healthcare options all counted. Florida has good medical facilities and services for older people, which made it even more attractive.
