20 Of The Worst States For Retirement In The US

5. Hawaii - too many tourists and a high cost of living

Tourism is an important part of Hawaii's economy. Major holidays are the most popular time for outsiders to visit, especially in winter. Large numbers of Japanese tourists still visit the islands, but they have now been overtaken by Chinese and South Koreans due to the weakening yen and the weak Japanese economy.

Although the scenery is beautiful, too many tourists bring high living costs and crowded public places. I'm sure most people would like to spend their retirement in a leisurely manner rather than being crowded with tourists.
