Rhode Island has so much to offer at first glance; beautiful beaches in the summer, white winters for the holidays, not to mention the seafood platters that are too good to ever pass up, but high taxes and cost of living leave this state out in the lurch. This state has some very nice cities, such as Newport, that are ridiculously expensive and other cities, such as Providence, which offer a lack of anything even remotely entertaining.

As small as it is, this state has some of the highest electricity prices and worst transportation system in the country. While it does offer great health care services, you might want to reconsider making this your retirement abode.
