That’s us—we are both retired now and our home is paid off. We are on Social Security and I get a pension. A few thousand in the bank and we live modestly, which is enough for us.
The notion that you need nearly a six figure annual income to retire comfortably seems totally bogus. Unless you have to enter a long term care nursing home which coild cost about 120,000 a year.

You can afford a van? How much are property taxes down by the river?

I cannot imagine retiring to Oklahoma, Alabama, Kansas or Iowa.
You need to stay in Nevada.

Too flat. I like both seeing and being in the mountains, accessible public lands, etc. I prefer trees but not dense inpenetratable jungle,, places with running water that is clear, and seasons that include all four. I have been to all 50 states, lived in many, Ben 50 countries as well. Nevada is not for me, but I’m stuck here till my boys graduate high school. I’d pick Arizona over Nevada, but I suspect I will be in Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Montana, or Wyoming. I hate the cold and shoveling snow, so that will be a challenge, unless I become a traditional snow birder.
Well, I have three years to figure it out, sadly more till I can afford to retire.

Some nice places on lakes, rivers, and ponds in all those states; some decent hills in SE Oklahoma. There are decent places in about every state, depending on what you want.

That map is bogus. South Dakota has no state income tax. I moved from there years ago to Minnesota. We are taxed to death in MN. No way does it cost more to live in SD.

Anyone dumb enough to try and retire in Honolulu deserves to go broke.
Miserable congested hellhole.

Yes, nice area, same with Flagstaff and Tucson to a lesser extent. Not sure that I really want the desert so much, doing that as a snowbirder,.probably a great place.

It was 34° this morning when I got up, and yesterday there were snow on all the surrounding mountains. Summer and fall are basically over they had chains and four-wheel drive requirements to drive up to Lake Tahoe yesterday.

they had chains and four-wheel drive requirements to drive up to Lake Tahoe yesterday.I heard about the snow yesterday. I’m just not ready for it. Too. Much snow removal, snow melt on the driveway ruining the concrete and the poor dog is really not into the snow as he’s gotten older…….just like us!

That’s the beauty of it, no taxes, public land, and bidenomics has killed the used van market, they’re a dime a dozen!
