10 States to Retire For Less Than 45K a Year

Arkansas

Here, the annual expenditures are $44,093. You’ve probably heard that Arkansas is one of the most affordable places in the country. But why is that? Well, it has the third-least expensive healthcare and transportation costs, which helps many seniors keep their retirement savings for a longer period of time.

Arkansas is another state who takes great care of its military, as it doesn’t charge income tax on military retirement pay. You can keep more of your well-deserved income and use it on something else. And don’t worry, due to the fact that the weather is mild to temperate here, you should definitely cross off the list those weather-related diseases, like arthritis!

    I would consider moving to TN or maybe Mississippi only because those states i know support Americans Constitutional Freedoms. Im not sure about the others on your list? I have already been looking for land in WV and TN and was considering TN for a 3rd choice as i have found it hard to find land with a year round stream/creek/river on it? My wife and i both agree it has to have a stream flowing on the property. Well back to my search since i have had no luck locating any undeveloped land as of yet? lol

      I wouldn’t want to go to a state where the legislature is attempting to minimize or cancel my vote. That’s truly unconstitutional.
