The Best Places To Retire

Posted in Opportunity on December 17, 2012 by Jeff Bevis

Where are the most desirable places for senior living? The answers can be very subjective, depending on exactly what you are looking for.

And then there’s the money factor. If money were no option, the list might look much different.

I would say that approximately 10% of the people that I know really enjoy what they do professionally.  They are in an enviable position because I would say the remaining 90% are just staying with their current job (working for someone else) because of the lack of job security these days or there are simply too many bills to pay.  But, every once in a while, you meet someone who gives you a glimpse of what real passion looks like.  Maybe it’s professional passion or possibly it’s personal passion, but regardless, it’s eye opening and inspiring.  Yes, I know, it’s…
