If you want to move to Massachusetts, it will cost you. The cost of living is over 31 points higher than the national average, and every expense is also higher. The biggest challenge for living in Massachusetts is the housing, which costs nearly 80 points more than the average, with a median home costing almost $100k more. If you're looking to retire, you must have the money to do so. While there are affordable home options, they are less frequent than in the rest of the country. Keep that in mind when you're considering where to move.
100 = US average. Massachusetts statewide; Boston-specific data may vary.
Guides for families
Resource library
In 2027, the full retirement age for Social Security finishes its long climb to 67. People born in 1960 are the first group to reach a full retirement age of exactly 67. Here is what that changes, what it does not, and how the age you claim still moves your check by hundreds of dollars a month.
Resource library
The federal government has stopped mailing most paper checks, and Social Security wants every beneficiary on direct deposit or a Direct Express card by the end of 2026. Fewer than 1 percent of recipients still get a check in the mail. Here is who is affected, how to switch, and the narrow exceptions that let a few people keep paper.
Resource library
The repeal of WEP and GPO restored Social Security for more than 3 million public-sector retirees, and the agency has paid about $17 billion in back benefits. But those lump sums are taxable, a surprise bill hit this filing season, and a proposal in Congress would change it. Here is where things stand.
Buying guide

Savings
