Retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough savings during their active years. Retirement choices determine a lot of things. My parents both spent same years in the civil service, but my mom was investing through a asset manager, and my dad through the 401k. My mom retired with about ‘4.2M’, but my dad retired with roughly '$1.8M’.
For retirees and those close to retirement, I believe it's particularly challenging. All those years of labor only to lose it all to a problem you weren't responsible for, my regrets to everyone retiring during this time.
It depends on your personal preferences and comfort level. However, one option is to keep things simple and consult an asset manager. They can help you determine your risk appetite, avoid common mistakes, and provide a broader perspective on your investment landscape. I have about ($1.25m) in non-retirement assets. Compared to the whole value of my portfolio during the last three years, I have no debt and a very little in retirement accounts. To be completely honest, the information provided by managers can only be ignored but not neglected. Simply undertake research to choose a trustworthy one.
Impressive can you share more info?
“SONYA LEE MITCHELL” is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
I copied her whole name and pasted it into my browser; her website appeared immediately, and her qualifications are excellent; thank you for sharing.
I am here in SC now and I’m going to check out 1-7. Perfect timing! Thank you! 👍 liked and subscribed 👍
I lived in Florence for most of my life, but now in Lexington.
Thank you. Although it was hard to listen. No music necessary, we have to hear YOUR voice. Music too loud abd distracting. I couldn’t finish the video.
Fort Mill is located in YORK county and near Mecklenburg County which is located in NC. I love Forest Acres but not rich enough to live there.
I live in Tega Cay! It’s beautiful and yes -it’s beautiful. I’m from Virginia and loved it there also. I lived there until I was 40 moved here seven years ago.
To live in Tega Cay you have a top 10% paying job or you came from old money 💰
@@jimmyjolly4184 I did not come from old money and being a teacher is not a high paying job. Sorry I wish so! 😊
please do not vote Democrat
Anyone know what the household income range to live there comfortably? I'm a single income and live comfortably at where I am but looking to get away from the cold abd high property tax.
@@America1st69 Don’t worry I would never do that! Never have never will.
Thank you for making this video! I really enjoyed it!
So basically the best places to stay in SC are the fluent areas of Columbia’s metro area ( #1 Forest Acres, #5 Irmo, #7 Lexington), Charleston’s metro area (#6 Mount Pleasant), Charlotte’s metro area the SC side (#4 Fort Mill, #2 Tega Cay), and Greenville’s metro area (#3 Five Forks)
I notice when you mentioned Tega, Fort Mills. You talked about the economy and so much to do but fail to mention why(Charlotte/Mecklenburg). Summerville SC is one of the best places to live in the state. And Mauldin SC is a up there too.
Summerville is seriously overcrowded now because of all the people that have moved here in the last 10-20 years. Bumper to bumper traffic from one end to the other every morning and evening six days a week. There is no state car inspection here so the smell of pollution is always in the air in the colder months. Noise pollution is also rampant. Boston is quieter than Summerville, LOL! I've lived here all my life and development is slowly strangling this area to death. Also you're looking at $250-300K minimum for a house that's barely out of the slums. Move to the upstate, the Lowcountry is overcrowded and over rated.
@@frederickdouglass7517 Ditto. I live here and may be relocating.. It's horrible.
i dunno bout that cheif summerville is overpriced, trafficky and theres nothing to do. summerville was always only good because its "close" to downtown, but goose creek is closer and cheaper
@@nanothestrange Because there is even less in Goose Creek than in Summerville. I also lived in Goose Creek from 1968-1978. Another once small town ruined by progress. I want to go where all of these people from up North don't want to go.......
@@frederickdouglass7517 yeah there's nothing to do in goose creek but it's closer to downtown and cheaper thats the tradeoff. You would have to pay my ass to live in Summerville all that new construction and traffic SUCKS.
Mt. Pleasant median home value/cost is WAY MORE. Good luck finding anything halfway decent under $650,000...or anything at all under $1 million
not to mention that mount pleasant just sucks to live in. old village is really the only part of mount pleasant that isnt traffic hell
Your info is outdated. I live in Lexington, houses are much more than you mentioned. Rent is impossible to find, not to mention for $1,000. Traffic became a nightmare cuz of influx and lack of infrastructure. As soon as a new school is built, it’s already busting at its seams. Traffic accidents are everyday reality. And not to mention a CRAZY HOT weather 6 months a year… Yeah, welcome to Lexington!
What town do you recommend in SC?
I mean crazy hot 8 months out of the year describes pretty much the entire state. So cant really use that as a comparison for SC towns. Traffic also describes any town in SC that has more than a few thousand people in it. Except columbia where for some reason the traffic isnt that bad downtown just the highways
J Balls I recommend tega Cay in York
I live in Lexington!
@@jballs1118 I would say for cooler Temps go to NE corner of state , but they do seems to get alot of bad T-storms ,but it is mountains also
SO IM GLAD THEY DID SUCH A BAD LIST. KEEPS PEOPLE FROM MOVING TO THE GOOD CITIES IN SC
The people who think about living in SC from outside are mostly looking at the coast tbh. Charleston, HII, Dirty Myrtle..yes it's dirty...etc
Also sounds like your data might be from the 00s and not up-to-date. Yeah 190k won't get you much. And best of luck finding a rental in LEX for 1k that's worth it.
190k is like medium house on the columbia outskirts sort of price. might be accurate for the really out of the way parts of lexington definitely nothing near downtown tho.
@@nanothestrange Christ I paid $225,000 for a brand new house in Aiken
Fort mill is definitely not a small town with a rural feel. Not even close. This place is growing RAPIDLY and is way past rural
We moving to Conway South Carolina this summer 2022🙌👍
Big mistake.
Please stay away. They’re ruining my beloved hometown.
😐
This is a horrible list lol. Lived here 35 years. Columbia is the worst, Charleston is the best, Greenville and Rock Hill are nice. Greenwood is the best small town. Everywhere else is rural.
We have visited Lexington/Chapin/Irmo/Columbia area 3 times since 2020. We're coming from Jersey. We instantly fell in love with the place and the people, and the schools (in northern Lexington to be exact) don't seem too bad. Columbia did seem a little weird and dingy but no more weird and dingy than the big cities up here. Thinking about USC for my 14 year old to attend. I'm heading down there this April during spring break to see if I can make an offer on a home. I'm not looking to move to an area where there are people from NY/NJ area, that's what we're trying to get away from. NJ is a shit hole, plain and simple and anyone that tells you otherwise hasn't been here long enough. For comparison, I felt extremely safe walking in Columbia and West Columbia, I guess locals down there have a very different opinion of what a bad city looks like 😆.
@justacinnamonbun8658 I live in the Blythewood area and LOVE IT!
@justacinnamonbun8658 reading this comment from someone in NJ trying to get away from NJ. People hit right on the spot 😂😂 I'm trying to do the same, which led me to wanting to move to south Carolina in a smaller population.
This video indicates it was published 1 year ago. What property exactly are you buying in Lexington, SC for $160,000? Land? Mount Pleasant, SC $400,000. These prices are not accurate. 🤦♀️
I live in Pendleton, a town five miles away from Clemson University. This is a nice area, and we would like to keep it that way, so don't move here.
Lexington numbers are off.
Fort Mill is in York County SC not Charlotte
Irmo? Seriously? The town of Irmo isn't as safe as it once was. New Friarsgate subdivision has gone downhill in the past 10 years and it's sad because it was at one time a very desirable neighborhood.
the town of irmo was never safe lmao its just a big strip mall
Any suggestion for places to live in SC?? Planning on moving with monthly budget 3k ish
Thanks for sharing just crossed it off my list
I live in Charleston SC
What's Charleston like?
@@StopSelfDoubting it’s beautiful. Rich history, beautiful beaches, nice restaurants, diversity of people. Beautiful land and scenery. It’s a lot more to do there compared to where I grew up. It has a happy medium. Fast but it has a slow pace as well, with an irresistible southern charm 🥰
@@mercedesdesere5004 Would you say SC is better than NC?
@@StopSelfDoubting i personally like it better than nc. Some people may disagree
Ok, watching today all these best and worst cities and places to live in South Carolina, non of these sites, including the current one found the real nice spots where price, cost of living etc are actually great. Good for us since that keeps costs low. Keep these " insider " youtube videos comming and keep posting these google maps and same picture posting all of you.
I want to move to SC, close the Beaches, where is the most affordable little crime city there?
Good state to retire to little town and stay home or Columbia suburb and
don't go out at night.
I know not on list how is Ladson SC really actually might move due to work.
Sorry , but you left out THE BEST , Charleston !
Did they though? It's expensive, traffic is nuts, parking on the peninsula is a nightmare and everything is overrun by tourists and instagrammers.
sure if youre a millionaire maybe
IKKK!! I live there and its awesome! There is so much to do!
Exactly!!!
@@itz_zxe3325 nice to visit but that's about it
What about beaufort
I live in sc Columbia and I want to go to Myrtle beach and there's good cities in sc
Lexington? give me a break! too crowded and there's nothing to do!
the fact that lexington and irmo are on this list is wack i would live in columbia proper way before i lived in either
Sorry I live in Lexington and love it. Moved from Chicago 21 yrs ago. Maybe it’s time for you to take a trip to Lexington, check out the lake. We have a lot of new restaurants. The best school district in the state. What else can we ask for.
@@dmando8687 for it to be priced better. For the same price i can live in columbia proper which I would much rather do than lexington. Lexington is overpriced for what you get
@@nanothestrange our house in Chicago cost 3 times as much for what I bought a bigger house in Lexington and saved hundreds of thousands of dollars. They are moving the middle school to a different location that will alleviate a lot of the traffic on 378 going into town. I like it, it’s 2 hours to charlotte, 1 1/2 hours to Charleston and 3 hours to Atlanta Wouldn’t want to live in Columbia prices on houses are double of Lexington and they are old houses. We could not find a new home in Columbia in the area we wanted.
@@dmando8687 yeah butbthats so not a fair comparison at all. Obviously its cheaper than Chicago. I mean for South Carolina Lexington is severely overpriced. Any local will tell you that.
The background music competes with your voice.
What is Sullivan's Island like?
Nice if your budget is at least $2 million
Wealthy.
Silly expensive
Can you crank up the background music a little more? I can almost understand the narrator.
Lol!
SUMTER!!!!! 2 Acres ranch home in beautiful country!!!
Do you live in Sumter what can you say about the place I will be moving there with my family soon!!
Maliwanag malinis
I wouldn't get out of the electric chair to live
Enjoy the info in your videos. Would enjoy the videos much more if the music did not overshadow your voice and the info you share. Sorry.
I'm thinking about taking a trip to south Carolina. UA-cam Teezy T Phoenix. Song says it all.
Saying crime rates in Mt. Pleasant are "quite prevalent" is like saying Mississippi is one of the greatest states in the U.S. Come on now.
A marketing video that makes the claim, Keep in mind that crime rates here are quite prevalent, so you need to be extra vigilant"
I guess you need to have your SC Carry & Conceal permit up to date!!!!! WTH??????? (Reference the 3:45 mark in the video)
Charleston. So much here. History. Industry. Being on the water. Restaurants. Good people. Didn't even make the list. WTF
Where are these people working making over six figures ?
Maybe in Charleston area but not anywhere else.
Greenville making six figures easy
@@nataliapetrenko5789 people that work in Charlotte but live in Fort Mill, Tega Cay etc. in SC. The Carowinds area, super nice and growing really fast.
@@mariogoodman1364 Wow. Okay. Had no idea lol
Check your facts! Fort Mill is in York County just over the NC stateline - THERE IS NO CHARLOTTE COUNTY. This whole video is erroneous, including median home prices, using stock footage found elsewhere on SC video promos, and mispronounced names. I am a resident of this state and while I haven't been everywhere mentioned I've been to most. This thing should be taken down.
I lived in West Columbia SC for 8 years coming from the North & the state it's self is beautiful but you have to be financially stable, they don't pay much, the rent is cheap but you have to work almost 2 or 3 jobs just 2 have extra $$$ plus it would be much better if there weren't so much prejudice I'm sorry but its the God honest truth, Americans people think that all Hispanic people that live in SC are immigrants as a Puerto Rican that I was raise most of my life in the North, very well English I still I had trouble finding a job even the gentleman from the unemployment told me to change my last name back since it will be easier to get a job since it was an American last name but Thank God I found a job but at the end I had to come back 🏡 cuz if u don't have $$$ or 👪 u need to come 2 the North. People may talk about the North but I ❤ the North PLEASE don't get me wrong prejudice is everywhere but not as much as in SC. It's a beautiful states but sad 2 say the people make it not nice.
you described my entire experience living in columbia. glad im not alone
Entirely true. Prejudice exists. I am black
therefore not surprised prejudice exists in South Carolina even if I change my name. Look at the pictures , adjust to
America. My wife and I are educated,
got jobs in Columbia and are comfortable. You mention suburbs of
Columbia , but Columbia itself is OK.
Started 40 years ago.
I had my fair share at the east coast too, and I'm sorry that you guys had to go through that. Thanks for the warning! I guess when you're like me, and especially with accent, certain group of people automatically assume that you can't comprehend. I don't work in the factory (not that there's anything wrong) but some people already decided that's what I do for a living before knowing anything about me. Sometime it's fun to stay silent and just nod to see how far they go. Lol
I love to move here
fed up with the traffic and crime if you dont live here you will find out the mess they made here for residents
Hello everyone! I am not native to US and wondering if SC is friendly for immigrants. I know it's a sensitive subject to some people but may be someone could give me honest opinion. I have been living on US territory quite awhile, lived in California and Hawaii. Looking for affordable housing and friendly environment for someone like me who speaks English with light accent. I would highly appreciate any advice. Thank you. Many blessings to all! 🙏🙏🙏
South Carolina is inexpensive, but it isn't the most friendly place for immigrants, IMO.
Thank you for the reply! Do you know if Virginia is better on this account?@@TrainsFerriesFeet
@@gaaros8256 Probably a little better.
You’re pronouncing Tega Cay wrong. Tee-ga Cay. You must be an outsider
Forest acres is not even a town. It is a suburb. Tega Cay is not a town to me it go to the Fort Mill School District. A Fort Mill suburb.
This is true. Very expensive in both Tega Cay and Fort Mill but both have great schools.
Add 100k to home values now.
@@bradberry1083 Tega Cay only have one School and that's a Elementary school. Other schools is in the York County side and they call that Fort Mill.
@@jarvisstradford7211 She said north of Fort HILL,lmao too funny. A suburb can be a town brah lol. It is named best PLACES to live in SC. Tega Cay is a place and definitely my favorite place there when I lived nearby in Rock Hill.
also Fort Mill does not have suburbs lmao. Tega Cay is a suburb of Charlotte as is Fort Mill. Just because you intertwine towns schools does not mean nothing man.
Most of the "facts" in this video are incorrect. Whoever made this did no research.
it seems to me they just looked at statistics of where people are moving to without actually studying why. the real reason is that prices within the actual cities is going up so people are moving to the rinkydink suburbs
اتمنى ان اسكن في أمريكا
Ok
No, you don't.
Sorry hilton head SC
I couldn’t watch the whole thing due to the sing-songy voice/way of talking.
this list is already a load of shit just from the first entry. lexington? forreal? have y'all ever been anywhere NEAR the Columbia metro area? mount pleasant? sure if youre over sixty years old. IRMO??? thats literally the worst suburb in columbia its basically just a gigantic strip mall. forest acres is admittedly one of the best places to live in the columbia area so at least they got that right. very surprised they didnt put charleston at number one probably because its overcrowded and expensive
Id live in Irmo before the majority of Columbia.
@@r6v2fan1 irmo is basically a giant strip mall theres nothing to do there except shop at big box stores. I lived in columbia off of rosewood for 5 years and it was pretty great.
@@nanothestrange there’s plenty to do in Irmo. Unless you live in Arcadia Lakes, or Forest Acres Columbia is trash.
No better than Alabama!
