This retirement destination could definitely rank in the top 10 as the most expensive ones. The total cost of living here outstretches to $63.726.06. And, of course, the average median list price for homes is $445,276.15, so it’s definitely a factor to reconsider another destination for your retirement plans.

If you are a boat lover and you wanted to consider a specific and proper retirement destination for your hobby, we understand why it would be Palm Harbor.

Although this place doesn’t require any tax payments on retirement income and Social Security, it’s still an expensive destination. Why? Because a house’s price increases significantly each and every year in Palm Harbor, and the living expenses here can add up to $58,708.26.
