The Golden State is one of the worst states for military retirees to live out their golden years, according to a new study published May 22 by the personal finance company WalletHub.

California’s economic environment was the biggest factor for the low ranking, placing it last among all states, including Washington, D.C. The state also ranked first for least-affordable housing, according to the report. But that wasn’t the only issue facing military retirees in the state.
