Looking for a cheaper place to retire? Try Wyoming.

It's the best state to retire in this year, according to Bankrate. The report looked at six factors: cost of living, taxes, quality of health care, weather, crime, and residents' happiness and well being.

Florida, often thought of as a retirement hotspot, is ranked 28th because of a high crime rate and below-average health care. The worst place to retire is New York, mostly because of the cost.
