Ouch, New Mexico ranked number 47 on the list of best places for military retirees, which is pretty close to last. There aren’t many job opportunities in the state, which isn’t good for young veterans and people looking to transition into a new career.

The weather is pretty extreme, with temperatures ranging from the teens to over 100 degrees. But where this state really tanked on WalletHub’s list is access to health care. They also have some of the lowest ratings in the country when it comes to education, which isn’t good for young families. In fact, in another study, WalletHub rated New Mexico as one of the worst states to raise a family.
