This Is the Most Financially Friendly State for Seniors

A recently released study from Stannah Stairlifts USA that surveyed more than 2,000 senior citizens found Alabama to be the most budget-friendly U.S. state for older Americans, reports Fox Business . Alabama's low property taxes, exemptions on Social Security, and affordable assisted living care were three of the key drivers of this friendliness. Other top states for senior friendliness were Florida, New York, and Alabama. Meanwhile, Alaska was ranked at the bottom of the list mainly due to some of the highest taxes in the country and its frequently inclement weather. The survey measured factors that included health and safety, finance, environment, social life, and accessibility.
