California is a state where the cost of living is significantly higher than the rest of the USA, going nearly 52 points higher than the national average. This cost can depend on where you live. If you live in rural California, it will cost less than the heart of LA. However, you can expect to pay a little more in most areas. The least high cost is groceries, but you will be paying over 10$ more than the national average. Retiring to California can be a fantastic journey, but be sure you have enough money to partake in it.
