How To Retire Without Money

And where are
there such places in the United States?
All over.
New England,
back away from the cities. For those, in particular, who
demand the changes in season New England (and up-state New
York) is one of the most beautiful sections of our country.
The coastal
area between Maryland and Florida. Hundreds of miles of
picturesque beach. Fishing, swimming, boating. The further
south you go, of course, the warmer the climate.
Florida,
ruling out only the larger cities and the swank tourist
resorts, is one big bargain paradise. It's cheap, it's
beautiful. Its offerings are boundless to the retired
sportsman or sportswoman.
The Gulf
Coast between Florida and New Orleans. Cheap, warm, wonderful.
The Rio
Grande Valley and in particular the lower stretch in the
vicinity of McAllen where the climate is superior even to that
of Florida.
New Mexico,
Arizona, Southern Colorado. For those who love mountains,
desert and wasteland. These states offer the glories of the
West—and are bargain priced if you stay away from the
population and tourist centers.
California,
Oregon, Washington. Always staying away from the big cities
and resorts, of course. Los Angeles and San Francisco can be
as expensive as any city in the country, but little Grass
Valley, tucked up in the High Sierras, is a bargain paradise
indeed.
The Ozarks of
Arkansas and Missouri are rapidly becoming one of the more
popular bargain paradises, especially for those who wish a
small farm on which to retire.
As I write
this, I am sorry for the space limitation of this book. Each
one of these sections of our land could easily use a full
chapter to describe in proper detail. However, it will be
possible to dispense with such treatment since full
information is as near as your public library.
CASE HISTORY
No. 1. This is one of my favorite examples of how a young
couple without capital, broke out of the rat-race and started
a project that in short order put them in a very nice income
bracket even while they were living in one of the premium
spots of the United States enjoying the tops in climate,
recreation, companionship and the other attributes of a
"paradise" here on earth.
