I want to retire in ‘a liberal-thinking area’ on $3,000 a month, including rent where should I go? MarketWatch 6 days ago
Thanks,
Dear Ken,
You seem wide open to where in the country you could retire, which makes finding an affordable and interesting spot easier. My first thought is underappreciated Midwestern college towns. They tend to be that blue spot you’re looking for but far less expensive than those on the coasts. Obviously you will have colder winters than in the South.
As I have written many times, I’m a fan of college towns because they tend to punch above their size on amenities. So whatever part of the country you are thinking about, start your search there. A tip: The rental calendar in college towns may be tied to the academic year, given that students look in the spring and sign a lease for fall.
LAS CRUCES - Gadsden Independent School District has longtime been focused on preparing high school students for future careers, but with online learning persisting for nearly a year, young student teachers have had to switch gears to adapt.
Normally, students in the educational career pathway for their sophomore through senior years would be able to visit nearby schools and act as student teachers for the year.
This year, students are still assigned to work with a class, but, now, they do everything remotely. GISD has remained online since March 2020, after school buildings across New Mexico were closed in order to help mitigate the spread of SARS CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Hybrid learning began for the first time on March 8 for GISD, but student teachers will remain virtual for the time being.

In 1960, the Carlsbad community and New Mexico State University partnered to establish a branch of the university in the growing southeast New Mexico city.
During that time, New Mexico State University Carlsbad served to bolster the local economy, now employing over 100 people, and providing degrees and certifications to students that aligned best with local industry. Similarly, NMSU benefited from the arrangement, as the branch campus provided a stepping stone for students seeking a four-year degree from the main campus in Las Cruces.
Now, that relationship appears fractured and Carlsbad leaders say no longer benefits staff, students and the community. The New Mexico Legislature is considering a pair of bills which would provide a framework to sever from the NMSU system and transition to an independent community college.
Pandemic, rising gas prices change spring break routine for some in Borderland
EL PASO, Texas For many in the Borderland, this weekend is the beginning of spring break.
Normally a time set aside for some relaxation but with Covid-19 still prevalent it may hold some back as gas prices rise and health officials caution against traveling.
The U.S. Travel Association says only about 12 percent of Americans, or one in eight, will make a spring break journey this year.
“If the virus wasn’t here, I would have traveled,” said New Mexico State University student Samantha Carbajal, who added that she’s still uncomfortable around large crowds.
