“All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray
I’ve been for a walk
On a winter’s day
I’d be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
California dreamin’
On such a winter’s day
-The Mamas & The Papas, “California Dreamin”
California is known for its year-long warm and sunny climate which attracts millions of tourists both local and foreign. With its friendly and inviting weather comes a coastline that stretches for hundreds of miles along the azure waters of the Pacific Ocean. If those don’t strike your fancy, maybe the state’s rich and vibrant culture will.
California is a melting pot of different lifestyles, due to the rich diversity of nationalities that call it their home. Not only that, its countryside is dotted with lush vineyards and fertile farmlands that generate some of the best wines and produce in the US. With all that it has to offer, California sounds like a dream destination to retire in, that’s if you have money to burn.
The Golden State is a very expensive place to live in, with its cost of living 52% higher than the rest of the country’s. Not only that, California also taxes all retirement income, save for Social Security.
Healthcare is also levied in the State, which also has one of the highest real estate prices in the country.
