Grew up in RI. Went to college and worked in Central NY. Have lived and worked in MA since then.

Tough call. I loved all three places. might retire in Rhode Island. But, honestly, I think Massachusetts has its shit together more than the other 2 states.

I love MA but they priced me out. Still very happy in RI but MA is home.

I work in Massachusetts because jobs here don’t pay enough so hey, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. There’s more than just the wacky crime that goes on elsewhere that I’m thankful for.

I live in RI, work in MA too, mostly the Boston area. Pay is much better.

I’m from Greater Boston and have lived in RI for 25+ years. MA definitely has its advantages but RI has come a looong way.

We have! But I do like Massachusetts and it’s residents and jobs, I like both states!

I'm currently living in downtown Providence and moving to MA towards the end of summer. I'll always love RI but I don't see myself living there again. I'm excited for some change as the last year living downtown hasn't been the greatest experience.

MA to RI transplant, Downtown Providence makes Boylston Street seem like a casual stroll and I have no idea how people live there.

Please for the love of your money Retire down South. NC and SC are perfect for Northern Pensions.
