Naples ranked high in all areas of the study, earninga score of 100 on SmartAsset's retirement index.

According to theMagnify Money article, "The FIRE approach to retirement has become popular among many younger, millennial savers in recent years. In a nutshell, practitioners of FIRE aim to retire as early as they can, but only once they have achieved a level of financial independence that would free them from conventional employment. The core strategy for building a nest egg that would allow one to retire early is to adopt extremely frugal saving and spending habits."

Not surprisingly, half of the top 20 cities that made Magnify Money'slist are in Florida, well-known for its retirement and snowbird-friendly reputation. Fort Myers ranked No. 9.

To determine the rankings, the firmcompiled data on 171 cities across America and scored them on cost of living and quality of life. The values were combined to produce an overall ranking of the best cities for a FIRE retirement.

For those wondering,New York City ranked dead last in Magnify Money's report because of its high cost of living.

Asked if the top rankings bySmartAsset and Magnify money have helped the local real estate market, Phil Wood, president and CEO of John R. Wood Realtors in Naples, answered "absolutely," followed by a exclamation point, in an email.

"We use that type of thing in our website blog," he said. "And any other place that is appropriate.The fact that Naples does so well in several different rankings each year is definitely helpful in our sales efforts."
