The ones who don't collect taxes from your paychecks. Ones who have lower costs if living like property taxes. Ones who aren't full of commie blue legislatures who make all kinds of bullshit social programs usually applied in giant cities run by liberal pieces of shit.

Retirement: The estimated costs of a comfortable retirement in every state in the US
The estimated cost of a comfortable retirement depends on the cost of living, which varies from state to state, as does average life expectancy.www.usatoday.com
We were debt free 6 yrs before we retired. I figured I would spend 60% of what I did while working and I was close. If I didn't piss money away on new optics, and the latest gadgets, I would be at 40%. I adjust my income accordingly. I am pretty sure my wife bankrolls 60% of what she takes in, IRA distribution, SS and her pension. But she is a strange bird, she will eat a bowl of Ramen noodles, then hop in her toyota to drive 100 miles for a pound and a half of cheese that she likes.

I live in NW Alabama, am 60, have been teaching for 29 years, and hear The Beach (or reasonably near) calling....
Utah is getting ridiculous. Income tax is high and my property taxes have skyrocketed over the last 10 years.
Good points. There are some really neat small towns in WY, especially west of the bighorns, no clue what land values are, but be prepared to drive for things such as fresh groceries. Driving extended distances is a way of life in WY though. Everything costs more in remote areas, and in WY, even towns with a hwy though them for the most part are remote when it comes to basic services.
I was stationed in Utah back in the late 70’s. I had to pay state income tax even though my state of residence had no tax. I paid it and wrote “Paid under protest” on the check.
which parts specifically should i avoid? i was thinking about hauser lake.
yeah, old boss bought the inn on the lake years ago.
haha, it gets into the 40s pretty often with the occasional frost.

My financial planner said the same but also said 4 to 5 million would be better. At $5M I can take 8% and live on $6K/week. At 6% I should be able to clear $4500/week and not touch any principal. Option 2 is retire early, take whatever the hell I need, and leave nothing to no one!
Looking at a small place in Texas and the no income taxes is nice but trust me.... They get it in other ways!
Yes, yes it does... Went to Costa Mesa in April to paint the GFs new house and liked to froze my ass off! Then we would go back to Riverside and I would burn up. Fuck CAs bi-polar weather!
No they dont! Same GF is never impressed with the places I show her in Texas. I'm an Arkie country boy and prefer cows mooing to sirens and horns. She doesn't get the appeal AT ALL! Easy fix is to get a new girlfriend and thank GOD the current one isn't a wife!
The picture was more for the tax benefits, as someone who’s estate will be in excess of 2m. Wyoming is very attractive tax wise.
