Four Summer Vacation Ideas for Cost-Conscious Retirees
Travel is expensive and the price of gas is driving prices even higher. But that doesn’t mean cost-conscious retirees can’t enjoy a summer vacation without breaking the bank.
AOL put together a list of destinations that are “off the obvious radar, genuinely affordable and packed with the kind of unhurried experiences that crowded tourist hotspots can’t offer.”
Here are four places you might want to consider visiting:
Paducah, Kentucky – This small city on the Ohio River was designated a UNESCO Creative City for its thriving quilt and fiber arts culture. It boasts a well-preserved downtown, walkable riverfront and vibrant food scene.
Bisbee, Arizona – The former copper mining town is now one of the quirkiest and most charming small towns in the Southwest.
The Finger Lakes, New York – This region in upstate New York offers beautiful waterfalls, impressive state parks and more than 100 wineries offering free or low-cost tastings.
Bend, Oregon – Sitting at the edge of the Cascade Mountains with easy access to Crater Lake, this charming town is idea for active retirees who want outdoor adventure without roughing it.
The Seniors Trust is committed to supporting older Americans through the passage of the Social Security Expansion Act. It will give retirees an immediate benefits increase of about $200 a month, a fair annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), increased minimum benefits, and ensure the long-term solvency of the Social Security program.
