retirement is around the corner

...and what better place to retire to than...

AMES!!!

That's right, according to CNNMoney.com Ames is one of the "Best Places to Retire Young".

Here is a snippet of what it said:

Real, American, Midwest living. That pretty much sums up Ames. The town's pride and joy is Iowa State University, and going to see the Cyclones take on one of their Big 12 rivals is a pretty cool way to spend an October afternoon.

Couple that with lots of booze, low crime, and most importantly -- a low percentage of Hawkeye fans, and Ames may be the best town to live in period! I see myself moving back sooner than you may think...
