    I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

      I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I’d suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.

    Northern Virginia is an area that residents of the remainder of the state try to avoid. The "DC blight" is spreading southward, so central and western Virginia are much more attractive to retirees. For example "World According To Briggs" rates Amherst, Va as the number one rural town for retirees!

      The market's direction can swiftly change, with indexes frequently transitioning from a bear market to a bull market precisely when the news is most negative and investor sentiment reaches its lowest point. I came across an article highlighting individuals who achieved profits of up to $150,000 during challenging market periods. Considering this, I am curious about the best stocks to purchase now or add to a watchlist.

    Clearly the judges never explored any other areas other than Northern Virginia, which is essentially Washington (SWAMP) D.C and Richmond (the Capital). Great seafood (crabbing, fishing and oysters) in Virginia. Great parks to explore and be with Mother nature. The small towns are very quaint and beautiful. Not a fan of any of the Northern locations which were designated 'BEST". Virginia Beach isn't bad but I think its a bit overrated.

      The first two are hilariously wrong. I live in VA Beach and the cost of living here is HIGH. Maybe a one-bedroom apartment is around $1200, but not near the beach and not in the good areas. This is more like, Top 10 best places to retire in Virginia if you're a millionaire. Can we talk crime rates, too, and how far over the national average the entire Hampton Roads area is? Who paid this guy to make this? I get that it's a year old, but even a year ago rents were ridiculous here. I kept watching but quit after Williamsburg, since it's obvious he's never been to Williamsburg or actually seen it.
