This Is the Best City to Retire With $500K in Savings, According to a New Study
Saving for retirement is becoming increasingly difficult for many. Americans believe they need $1.26 million to retire comfortably in 2025, according to a report by Northwestern Mutual. And that can feel out of reach for many. However, a new study by GOBankingRates reports that you may need less than half of that to retire in many destinations across the U.S. The website looked into 50 places across the nation where people can comfortably live out their golden years with $500,000 in savings and still enjoy an excellent quality of life. The company considered cities with at least 1,000 residents aged 65 and older, and analyzed retirement income data, along with the cost of living. Lastly, it calculated the cost of retirement, assuming a person stops working at age 65 and lives in retirement for an additional 20 years. After doing all that math, it named Canfield, Ohio, the No. 1 spot. The community of just 8,000 residents boasts an impressive 87 livability score out of 100, while its cost of living for a single person with Social Security over 20 years is $390,698. According to GOBankingRates, the annual cost of living here is $43,564, while monthly expenses are estimated at $3,630. Canfield wasn't the only place in the Buckeye State to make an appearance on this list. As GOBankingRates noted, "Ohio swept the rankings with 12 of the top 50 cities among the best places to retire with $500,000 in savings." Canfield was followed by Fairlawn at No. 2, North Canton at No. 3, Middleburg Heights at No. 5, Chesterland at No. 6, Cortland at No. 9, Lyndhurst at No. 12, Seven Hills at No. 17, Vermilion at No. 26, Huron at No. 28, Milford at No. 38, and Port Clinton at No. 42. Unsurprisingly, Florida also had a strong showing, with 11 destinations making the list, including its top performer, Sebastian, at No. 7. The report also noted that the Midwest is a true hotspot for those looking to retire on a tight budget, with 26 of the 50 spots situated in the region. Beyond Ohio, GOBankingRates found five communities in Illinois—Princeton, Geneseo, Crestwood, Westchester, and Metropolis—and three in Michigan—Ludington, Grand Haven, and Grand Rapids.

Inspiring the Next Generation of Female Trades Workers: Oatey Co. Leads Plumbing Workshop at Girls' Construction Camp
Oatey associates mentor students at the 'Let's Build Construction Careers' Camp for Girls in Canfield, Ohio, which immerses middle and high school girls in the skilled trades Inspiring the Next Generation of Female Trades Workers: Oatey Co. Leads Plumbing Workshop at Girls' Construction Camp Inspiring the Next Generation of Female Trades Workers: Oatey Co. Leads Plumbing Workshop at Girls' Construction Camp CANFIELD, Ohio, July 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Associates from Oatey Co., a leading manufacturer in the plumbing industry, volunteered for the third consecutive year at the 'Let's Build Construction Careers' Camp for Girls, held June 18 at Mahoning County Career & Technical Center (MCCTC) in Canfield, Ohio. As a returning sponsor, Oatey developed and delivered a hands-on plumbing training designed to introduce campers to real-world skills and career opportunities in the trades. The mission of the 'Let's Build Construction Careers' Camp for Girls is to empower girls ages 12–17 to explore career paths in skilled trades, construction and manufacturing—fields where women have traditionally been underrepresented. This free, week-long program offers experiential learning, field trips and mentorship, providing early exposure to high-demand careers like plumbing, pipefitting, electrical work, welding, drywall installation, bricklaying and more. Oatey volunteers, led by Technical Specialist Jim Eichenser, facilitated a 'Plumbing 101' workshop. Throughout the day, they instructed and mentored campers rotating through skill stations focused on core plumbing fundamentals, including solvent welding PVC pipe, installing washer supply boxes and sink strainers, pulling and setting toilets and soldering copper pipe. 'The level of interest and enthusiasm these campers showed was truly inspiring,' said Eichenser. 'Introducing them to experiences like this early on is so important—not just for building technical skills, but for helping them gain confidence and see the breadth of opportunities in the skilled trades. Exposure like this can be the spark that shapes a future career.' The interactive training format encouraged active participation and created a supportive space for campers to ask questions, try new tools and gain practical insight into plumbing careers. 'Being able to give back and show these young girls what's possible in the trades was incredibly rewarding,' added Sherya Jackson, Associate Product Manager at Oatey and first-time camp volunteer. 'They were eager, capable and asked thoughtful questions throughout the day. It was clear they saw the value in what they were learning. Watching their growth as they moved through each task was a powerful reminder of why programs like this matter.' Two female pipefitters from Local Union 396 also partnered with Oatey to support the soldering station, providing technical guidance and sharing their career journeys. Their presence brought valuable mentorship and perspective, giving campers the opportunity to learn directly from women working in the field. As labor shortages continue to challenge the skilled trades, Oatey's involvement in mentorship and career exploration reflects its commitment to developing future talent and advancing diversity in the industry. To learn more about Oatey's efforts to support the skilled trades talent pipeline, listen to its podcast The Fix and visit ABOUT OATEY CO.

Solitaire players are just realising original game has a totally different name
If you've ever been bored and had a Microsoft laptop, you've probably played Solitaire at some point in your life. But did you know this fun trivia about the card game? If you've ever had a Microsoft laptop, you've probably played solitaire at some point in your life. That's because the classic computer card game has been included with Windows operating systems since 1990. Solitaire as a concept can be traced back for hundreds of years. It's believed to have originated in France during the 18th century but remains popular to this very day. After being introduced by Microsoft intern Wes Cherry in 1988, it became one of the most popular digital games ever. Millions now know the rules – but did you know the original version wasn't actually called 'Solitaire'? Games expert Dmitry Kandratsyeu, Head of Product at said: "From a quick game at work to killing time on your nan's PC, most of us have played Solitaire. But that classic card game you know and love isn't called Solitaire. "In fact, its real name is Klondike. The name you've been referring to for all these years is actually just a category. Solitaire means any single-player card game, and Klondike just happens to be the one that went viral before going viral was even a thing. Solitaire can actually refer to a variety of one-player card games. The most common type, often called Klondike, centres around arranging a deck of cards into four foundation piles, ordered by suit and rank (ace through King). However, it has different names when you travel around the world. In many English-speaking countries in Europe, it's traditionally known as Patience. Dmitry added: "Here in the UK, you may also hear people refer to the game as Patience, a name still commonly used across Europe. "In Finland, it's Pasianssi. In Poland, it's Pasjans and in France it's known as La Patience. But, when Microsoft added the game to Windows 3.0 back in 1990, they labelled it simply as 'Solitaire', and that name stuck, especially for those who grew up playing it on screen. "The name Klondike comes from the Klondike Gold Rush in the late 1800s, when Canadian prospectors would pass the time with a patience-testing card game. It eventually became popular in the US, and when Microsoft digitised it, the rest was history, or should we say, computer history. "If things weren't confusing enough, old-school Americans often refer to it as Canfield, named after the 19th-century gambler who supposedly made the game popular in casinos. But while Canfield is related, it's a different version of Solitaire altogether, with its own distinct set of rules. "This just shows how many different names and variations this one game has around the world, even though the core idea remains largely the same. "One thing's for sure, whether you call it Solitaire, Klondike, Patience or even Canfield, it's a game that's stuck around for good reason. From killing time on your lunch break to tapping away on your nan's old PC, we've all played it at some point."

In many cases, the closest major city outside of the city/county mentioned in the article was used. Methodology: For this study, GOBankingRates analyzed cities across the United States to find the best places to retire with $500,000 in savings. Using the 2023 U.S. Census American Community Survey, cities with at least 1,000 residents ages 65 and over were identified. The cost of living was sourced from Sperling's BestPlaces. National average expenditure costs for retired households were sourced from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Survey for retired consumer units. The average Social Security income was sourced from the Social Security Administration's Monthly Statistical Snapshot. Using the average Social Security income and the total cost of living, the annual cost of living after Social Security income was calculated. The livability was sourced from AreaVibes and is used to determine the overall quality of life, representing the 'best' places. All data was collected on and is up to date June 16, 2025.
