Here are the three best states for retirement in 2021 (2024)

Retiring in Florida is an American tradition, but there's no shortage of places to spend your golden years.

Georgia was named the best state to retire in 2021 by a Bankrate study, because it has a lot of the same qualities as Florida but at a more affordable price, according to Jeff Ostrowski, an analyst at Bankrate.com.

The study ranked states using five categories: affordability, wellness, crime, weather and culture.
