Is this just a randomly generated order? I’m glad Arkansas is representing at the top. I hope to retire someday soon if my pension isn’t already at zero.

Not sure, but you are in the right place if that pension is still there.

Lists are great when it comes to trying to find the perfect place to retire. Just make sure you do your homework first and be sure to visit the places you are considering at least twice, once in the summer and then again in the winter, before you make your final decision. What may be the perfect place for one person may not be so great for another.
