SEATTLE - When people in the United States talk about moving somewhere else in the country to enjoy their retiree years, most people think of a sunny place with access to gorgeous beaches or a quiet place in the countryside. And based on Bankrate's annual ranking, one of the nation's smallest states is actually the one that comes out as the best buck for buck.
The state of Delaware topped this year's Bankrate's annual ranking after ranking in second place last year. Known as "The First State," Delaware scored high across five key metrics taken into account by the financial publisher: affordability, overall well-being, access to health care, weather and crime.
