Overview

Nebraska is a state known for its community atmosphere and the sunny attitudes of its residents. Offering plenty of outdoor activities, Nebraska is a place for retirees who enjoy hunting, fishing and bird-watching. Between the wetlands, prairies, sandhills, and woods, hunters have a plethora of options to choose from. Fishermen take advantage of the hundreds of lakes and streams, while birdwatchers observe the sandhill crane migration from March to April.

The state’s affordability is worth considering. The overall cost of living is 11% below the U.S. average. For those who want to work in retirement, unemployment in the state is just 4.2%, the third-lowest rate in the nation.

Though much of the state is rural, there are cities like Lincoln and Omaha that offer entertainment such as theater, music, ballet, art and the largest public collection of quilts on earth.

Nebraska’s combination of affordability, friendly residents and outdoor fun make it one for retirees to think about.
