7. South Dakota
South Dakota shouldn’t remind you of frigid winters and flat, desolate lands. You would be surprised as to how much the Mount Rushmore State has to offer. This state is a top destination for retirees because of its slow pace. People come to South Dakota to escape the buzz and stress of life. While winters can be long and sever in the northern hills, the southern hills offer more temperate weather all year round, meaning there are some great hiking opportunities even in the cold months of winter. And the Missouri River, which cuts through the center of the state, is a fishing favorite, and the areas surrounding the river are popular for various hunting pursuits.
South Dakota’s cost of living is nearly 11% lower than the nation’s average, meaning you will be able to live a comfortable life for less.
