That illustrates how expensive it is to retire here in California... sigh. I'm 66 in December and figure I can retire at 70. So, I'm weighing where we can afford to retire to.

 

Santa Maria, CA is alluring. We can buy a 3br 2 ba mobile home for under $100K, but the monthly rental is $700/mo. Growing up in SoCal and having the central Ca. coast as my stomping ground, I'm considering that we may retire there.

 

Still... I'm also looking at places like Cedar City, Utah; Redding, Ca; Eugene, Or... or anyplace where we can still enjoy comfortable year-round weather and have access to good healthcare.

My folks retired to Caucus and I have a brother living in Morro Bay -- bother nice central Ca.

coastal towns. Eugene gets a lot more rain but has a high quality life. Housing prices are still good here but starting to go up so now is the time to buy.
