[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Knoxville, TN. Great weather, good airport, low COL, [b]no state income tax,[/b] 30 minutes from Great Smoky Mountains. [/quote]

Tennessee has a 9% sales tax and a 6% tax on your dividends and investments, aka 401k.  I don think know how high the property taxes are. All these no income tax states get their revenue some where. Otherwise, the state(s) would be totally dysfunctional. [/quote]

NP.  This is where we retired.  And, we LOVE it!  Weather is more moderate than further north, great outdoors things to do.  Very little traffic.  Great doctors and hospitals. Wonderful concerts, theater, etc.  COL is way, way less than DC.  Yes, sales tax is high, but we spend less than we did pre-retirement.  There are many exemptions to the state tax on dividends and investments.  We owe a whopping $75 this year.  
And, property taxes are about 1/3 of the DC area, if not less.  And, no property tax on vehicles as VA has.  
And, pp is right....... you can’t beat the Smoky Mountains.  And, the lakes!  
But the very best part is the people.  They are so friendly and accommodating here.  [/quote]

But aren't they all Republicans?

I cannot live in a state filled with Trumpsters. That's my #1 priority for retirement. [/quote]
