story highlights Minneapolis as an ideal spot for retirees even though “retirement living is typically associated with temperate climates and warm sunshine,” it states.
Bankers Life and Casualty Company Center For a Secure Retirement recently did a study that puts Minneapolis at the top for retirement due to the strength of its healthcare and economy, its low crime rate, and other quality-of-life factors, the story states.
