Casper, Wyoming, has been named among the most affordable places to retire in the United States.
While Florida may be the preferred retirement destination for seniors who enjoy warm weather and beach escapes, others enjoy snow-capped mountains or fishing trips, according to Daily Mail.
The charming Western town offers just that – and is a good option for those prioritizing affordability in retirement.
That is according to WalletHub’s latest ranking of the best places to retire.
The study ranked 180 US cities across 45 metrics to determine which were the most friendly to retirees, and where they could plan an affordable retirement while maintaining the best quality of life.
