[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why have all those states been excluded? There are plenty of options in Maryland and Virginia but they’re not close in.[/quote] Taxes[/quote] I don't think VA has particularly high taxes. Maryland is a bit higher. But even Maryland isn't like the northeastern towns or Illinois with shockingly high property taxes. You might save maybe a few thousand (less if on a smaller income) in state income tax by living elsewhere. But I'd look closely at the tradeoffs too. I would think the real savings need to be a combination of that $1000-$3000 in no state income tax for someone on a fixed income + much lower heating costs in a warmer state. Air conditioning is cheaper than heat. But also consider things like access to excellent health care (a must the older you get). [/quote]
