Sorry, New Jersey, you’re not a great place to retire.

According to a WalletHub study released Jan. 16, the Garden State is the second worst place in the U.S. to spend your later years. In comparison, Pennsylvania is crushing it at number 14.

For the study, WalletHub “compared the 50 states across 41 key indicators of retirement-friendliness,” examining health factors, affordability and quality of life.

Pennsylvania ranked high for quality of life (#4), but fared on the average side for affordability (#28) and health care (#30).

Contributing to New Jersey’s low rank, the state came in dead last for affordability, accompanied by mediocre scores in quality of life and healthcare.

WalletHub ranked the following states as the best places in the country to retire:

1. Florida

2. Colorado

3. South Dakota

4. Iowa

5. Virginia
