Good morning, Houston. I’m Ahmed Humble. 👾
I’m about 30ish years until I can retire but according to a recent study, shared by my KPRC 2 digital teammate, Ninfa Saavedra, Texas was ranked one of the worst states for retirees.

The study, conducted by BankRate, said it reflected what Americans value most in a retirement destination: Affordability, weather, neighborhood safety, health care, local taxes, arts, people of a similar age, miscellaneous, and arts, entertainment, and recreation.
“Our survey results may be shocking to any retirees who only considered warm weather and income taxes in their relocation plans,” says Stephen Kates, CFP, Bankrate financial analyst. “We incorporated 15 different data points into our analysis for a comprehensive perspective on the true costs of retirement across different states.”

TODAY: 101° TONIGHT: 79°
Meteorologist Justin Stapleton says:
“Two things happened on Tuesday. Houston reached its first 100° day of the year, and the tropical rain expected at the end of the week has a 10% chance of moving in as a tropical depression or tropical storm.
“While Houston isn’t under a heat advisory, some of the hottest weather will impact areas just to the east and northeast, including Lufkin, Beaumont and Port Arthur. In Houston, the heat index should reach 104 to 106 degrees—so even without an official advisory, it’s important to stay cool and hydrated.”
