Map: Where $100,000 in retirement savings will last the longest

[Johnboy60]

If you’re behind on saving for retirement, moving to a cheaper state is one way to stretch your nest egg as far as it can go.

Your retirement dollars will last the longest in Mississippi, according to a recent study by personal finance site GOBankingRates. There, you can expect to live off $100,000 for 946 days, or just over two and a half years. That’s more than the national average of 780 days.

Save you a click, unless you want to read the boring words.

I'm a little surprised HI tops out at 'worst'. It didn't seem so expensive when I was there. Then again, I come from #49.

When you move to a new state, you have to buy health insurance for that state. And what you previously paid towards the deductible doesn't roll over.

So if your family deductible is $15,000, it becomes $30k when you move.

Takes a big chunk out of that 100K you started with.

Yeah, but this is about retirees, who carry their medicare with them.
