There is one sure-fire way to stretch limited resources and protect your retirement dreams: lower your cost of living in retirement by relocating from a high-cost area to a nearby, low-cost city like Muskegon, Michigan.  Studies show that living costs in Muskegon are forty-two percent lower than Chicago. Just about every category of everday living costs – housing, food, clothing, utilities – is more reasonably priced in Muskegon.

Relocating to Muskegon doesn’t mean your quality of life will suffer. Quite the opposite! Muskegon offers a wealth of cultural, entertainment and recreation resources. You’ll find the cleanest beaches in the Midwest and you’ll find that they are uncrowded and easily accessible.

Enjoy watching sailboats on Lake Michigan? In Muskegon, housing costs and the everyday basics won’t eat up your entire income so you’ll have the spending money to sail your own boat on the Big Lake, if you choose.

And, when you feel like visiting old friends or taking in the amenities that only a big city can offer, remember that Chicago and Milwaukee are just a few hours away by car, cross-lake ferry or Amtrak.

So, why live a financially stressed retirement when you don’t have to? Relieve your stress and consider the many benefits that retiring in Muskegon can bring. If you’d like more information, just drop us a note.
