An article recently posted on WalletHub.com by John S. Kiernan ranked Georgia at 29th on a list that the writer said represents the best and worst states for military retirees.Kiernan’s article said his intent was to “ease the burden on our nation’s military community by identifying” the best states to move to upon retiring from service. He said WalletHub’s methodology for determining which states were best was based on 19 key metrics, which he said “supplement” standard retirement-attractive metrics.For organizational purposes only, he said his 19 key metrics were broken down into economic environment, quality of life and health care. Under economic environment, he looked at state and local sales taxes, job opportunities for veterans, the number of major military bases, housing costs and cost of living.Quality-of-life information considered included the number of veterans per 100 inhabitants, higher-education ranking, arts and leisure/recreation opportunities and weather conditions.
