Ithaca, New York
With a series of narrow glacier-created lakes and amazing gorges and waterfalls, Ithaca is among the best destinations for people who want to live the rest of their retirement years by the water. For retirees with paid-off mortgages, the housing costs don’t exceed $668 per month while those aged 60 and older have to pay around $1,500 per month for a house with a mortgage.
If you want to rent a place on the southern shore of Cayuga Lake, you will have to pay a median rent of $883 per month.
This next destination will make you upwardly mobile…..
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.
