Since we are 4 years pre-retirement, we are into the research "where we want to live in retirement" phase.
I was surfing around some blogs and found this Cost of Living Comparison Calculator.
I can't recall who's blog I found this through....if it was you, let me know so I can credit you for giving me this idea.
Anyway go HERE and put in where you live now and where you are considering living and it will give you an idea of where location B stands in terms of costs to location A.
Be prepared to be surprised by some of the comparisons....I sure was!
As with all online calculators take what it tells you with a grain of salt.
Also, they show the categories and specific items they use to make their comparisons which is a good thing.
So far, everywhere I am considering moving to in retirement is LESS expensive than where I live now.
That's a win in my book!! lol
So tell me how your location compares.
