Some of the most important factors for living somewhere affordable include the 10-year cost of living, the difference between savings and the cost of living, average rent, mortgage, and more. In addition to all of this, you have to consider personal spending as well. 

 

If you think about all of these things, someone with a smaller retirement fund may be in trouble depending on where they live. Retirement doesn’t necessarily mean you’re set for life, as you have to be cautious about your spending habits.
