Retirees have to pay a monthly median of $1,272 for a home with a mortgage or $471 per month for a house without one. When it comes to the median rent, people age 60 and older need around $833 per month. The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, the delicious local tart cherries, popular film festivals and, of course, the spectacular lake views, make it all worthwhile.

I JOINED USA NAVY IN 1964 TO AVOID THE ARMY DRAFT.
I ATTENDED ELECTRICIAN SCHOOL AND WENT TO AN
AIRCRAFT CARRIER IN SAN DIEGO. WE MADE 2 TRIPS TO
VIET NAM. OUR SHIP HAD 3,500 MEN ABORD; I WAS PROMOTED
TO E-4 ELECTRICIANS MATE. I DO NOT REGRET ANY DECIONS
THAT I MADE IN MY LIFE. MY WIFE AND I ARE MARRIED 50
YEARS NOW. PRAISE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. I AM SURE
THAT EVERYONE AGREES…AMEN.
