If you’re behind on saving for retirement, moving to a cheaper state is one way to stretch your nest egg as far as it can go.

Your retirement dollars will last the longest in Mississippi, according to a recent study by personal finance site GOBankingRates. There, you can expect to live off $100,000 for 946 days, or just over two and a half years. That’s more than the national average of 780 days.

The study considered the average total expenditures for people 65 and over and the cost of living index in each state to come up with the ranking.
