This episode has been updated with new Social Security benefit examples and current cost-of-living information for the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
You may still be able to retire by the beach on Social Security alone — and in some cases you may even be able to afford to buy a home. The key reason this works is the lower cost of living on the Mississippi Gulf Coast compared with most coastal areas in the United States.
In this episode we explore how retirees living on Social Security can create a realistic monthly budget that includes housing, utilities, healthcare, and everyday expenses.
We examine two common retirement income scenarios for couples receiving Social Security benefits and show how those benefits can stretch further in a region where housing costs remain among the lowest of any coastal community in the country.
The Mississippi Gulf Coast continues to attract retirees because it offers a combination of affordable housing, mild winters, coastal living, and access to healthcare providers that accept Medicare.
Mississippi is also one of the most tax-friendly states for retirees. The state does not tax Social Security benefits or most other retirement income such as pensions, 401(k) withdrawals, or IRA distributions.
