It’s a fact: We are all going to grow old at some point or another… but why just be old when you can be both old AND awesome? How does one go about doing this? By spending your later years in the Centennial State, of course. Here are 12 reasons why Colorado is the best place to grow old and awesome:
1. Colorado's weather is mild and comfortable...
2. (...an average 300 days of sunshine, say what?!...)
3. ...even winters are both beautiful and manageable.
4. Believe it or not, the cost of living is low.
OK, not necessarily every place in Colorado is affordable *cough* Front Range *cough*... but southern and eastern Colorado and even parts of the Western Slope are surprisingly low-cost.
5. Thanks to easy access to Denver International Airport, travel is a breeze.
6. Or, if you prefer staying put, you have access to world class shopping...
7. ...outdoor activities...
8. ...volunteer work...
9. ...and history galore.
10. Your friends and neighbors will motivate you to stay fit and active.
11. Finally, according to CNN Money , those who live in Colorado have access to high quality healthcare...
12. ...and below average taxes.
