Wilmington Ranks As One Of Best Places To Retire in 2023
After many, many years of working hard to earn a living, retirement and your golden years should be spent relaxing and worry free.
While we all dream of our days of retirement, it might not be an option for everyone. According to the Employee Benefit Research Institute’s 2023 Retirement Confidence Survey, 64% of workers reported feeling at least somewhat confident that they will have enough money to retire comfortably, but only 27% said they were “very confident.”
According to Gallup polling, workers in 2022 planned to retire at age 66 on average, compared to age 60 in 1995. The alternative? Relocate to an area where you can stretch your dollar without sacrificing your lifestyle.
In a recent study conducted by WalletHub, they went on a search for the best places to retire across the United States. So, where are the best places to retire? One of them is right here in Delaware. Wilmington ranks #13 on this year’s list.
