Financial Decisions You Will Regret in Retirement

![<p>Workers planning to punch the clock for the last time during 2017 might need to curb their enthusiasm, or at least curtail retirement travel plans. America faces an uncertain political and economic environment. Dramatic changes in everything from interest rates to healthcare costs could be just over the horizon. </p><p>Indeed, many financial planners are advising clients to put portfolios, savings strategies and tax planning under a microscope as 2016 comes to a close.

![A growing number of people dream of retiring in their 40s.They have joined Reddit's Financial Independence subreddit, they frequently comment on Early Retirement Extreme's forums, and they follow the scrappy and thrifty examples set by popular personal finance bloggers, such as the Frugalwoods and Mr. Money Mustache.Members of the FI/RE (financial independence/retire early) movement want to maximize their savings rate, ideally squirreling away half of their take-home pay each month, and then "retire" to pursue the lifestyles they desire. They are people like Joe S., a 37-old-year project manager in West Virginia. He has saved more than $400,000 in his retirement accounts and is about 35 percent to reaching his goal. He expects that he, his wife and their two children will live off the nest egg he is building by the time he turns 45."Early retirement is not impossible. It's more of a slow grind. I have always been thrifty," said Joe, who asked to remain anonymous so he could openly discuss his net worth.Joe set out to know the best state for early retirement after he reached his savings goal, so he created a spreadsheet, which quickly became one of the most popular financial independence posts on Reddit in October. Here's how Joe created his state ratings: First, he ranked each state by tax load for an average family, assuming they had an annual income $55,000, a home worth $180,000 and a $20,000 vehicle. State taxes are important to early retirees because they provide fewer deductions than federal taxes. "State tax rankings are highly dependent on income and home values," Joe said. "Even states that people think of as being high tax, like California, can be low tax states if your income is lower." Then, Joe considered assets protections for retirement accounts, such as IRAs and Roth IRAs, from bankruptcy in each state because you never know what the future will bring. He also examined each state's homestead exemption, which shields your home equity from creditors. "I view them as a free umbrella insurance policy with an infinite amount of coverage. That being said, the asset protections are a secondary consideration for our family," Joe said. Finally, he used cost of living data from the personal finance website WalletHub to price out what day-to-day expenses would be.

The size of these cities, however, insulates them somewhat from true net population loss because new residents are also moving in."The new residents' numbers might not comprise as high a percentage of the population as other American cities, but that's a reflection of just how populous some of these metropolitan areas are: It's harder to make up 3% of the population in New York City than it is in, say, Cleveland," according to the Adobo report.Read on to see which cities saw the largest exit of residents in 2014 and 2015, according to Adobo's report based on U.S. Census Bureau data on 50 of the biggest metropolitan statistical areas in the U.S between July 1, 2014 and July 1, 2015.]({"default":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAlh387.img?h=64&w=85&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&f=jpg&x=1238&y=522"} "Americans love to move.
