Poor public services?
I’ll bite. With the exception of Delaware, they aren’t run by RATS!
I’m bookmarking this article.
One is my home state. I do not have to move!
The problem with all of them....They are still in the USSA.
glad there are a few with beaches!
Alaska being #1 is a CROCK!!!! Housing is expensive, food is expensive, gas is expensive, getting away is expensive...
No state income tax, generous homestead exemptions, no dictatorship by unions....therefore personal home services like plumbing, painting, lawn care, etc. are very reasonable (and you can bargain), no massive heating bills eight months of the year, lots of healthy, free outdoor recreation opportunities, lower property taxes than in many northern states like Illinois, New Yawk......a smaller wardrobe with more lightweight clothes, shoes, etc. will do ya all year round, lots of senior discounts at stores and restaurants, early-bird-special dinners.....I could go on, but it's too late to do all this thinking!
Nite!

The last thing we need is more retiring leftards in Arizona.
How was AL left out? I know several people who’ve retired to AL.
Lots of illegal immigrants?
I think I know why Alaska is on the list. Friends who lived there told me that there is nothing to do during those long winters that doesn’t involve booze or sex.
Waffle Houses!!!!
We have ONE corrupt federal gov’t which will make everyone miserable. There will be no place to hide outside of rebellion.
Apparently, COST-OF-LIVING didn’t figure into the calculations, just state & local taxes.
Having said that, compared to most, I’m thinking Ole-Miss and Looo-zanna probably have much lower cost of living, lower costs for homes, acreage, etc. And all the hunting and fishing you can bear to stand.
I’ll have to retire without Mrs Smith. She’s not attached to our house of 10 years. It’s just a place to raise kids. The neighborhood is changing though, and we’ll likely leave in 10 or 15 years, but she’s wants to retire (or so I’ve overheard) to the upper west side of manhattan. She loves the theater and loves being n the city. I wonder what she’ll do without a car. You don’t need ones the city, but you need one for those shopping trips outside the city.
Kanab's within a 2 hour drive of six (or more) national parks/monuments. Prices didn't seem out of the ordinary.
Just got back from Alaska. Beautiful place, great people.
But cheapest? That’s crazy.
Everything is expensive up there.
The 900 dollar oil bonus check doesn’t make up for it.
Subway 5 dollar footlong? It’s 8 bucks.
North Carolina is not a low tax state, but they do not tax military retirement or social security income...If you are sexually active consider The Villages in Florida— Highest STD rate in the nation.(Medicare covers it....enjoy)
