Tennessee

One of the greatest things about retiring here is the low cost of living, which is not only lower than the national average, but it’s the SIXTH cheapest state to live in. Naturally, there are some states that are cheaper than others, especially when it comes to major cities, but overall it’s an inexpensive state.

One of the factors that contribute to this is the fact that Tennessee has no state income tax. Plus, it’s the ideal place for those who love music, as Nashville is the well-known home of country music. But nowadays, the state is rich in all the genres, from rock and folk to bluegrass.

    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.
