I retired from the federal government last year, and I am a veteran, and while I'm waiting on my SS and VA disability claims to come to fruition, I've been looking for a new state to retire to and Kansas and Nebraska were high on my list. However, I heard that Kansas taxes social security income (???) and if that's the case then I don't think retiring there would be a good idea.
Can you provide some insight into Kansas life, politics, etc? Thanks.
Yep, they tax my social security, which sucks. Unfortunately, Kansas is not one of the least expensive states to retire in. But other than that it’s a great state to live in, especially in a small rural town, or on a few acres somewhere. I’m a retired software engineer, but I still farm and ranch. So, all in all life is pretty good out here on the prairie. Regards. Would love to have a fellow conservative as my neighbor.
