Kansas

Here, you’ll only pay on annual expenditures $44,143. Kansas is one of those states where the Social Security check goes the furthest. For this and for other reasons, many retirees are considering moving here.

Plus, grocery and housing costs are cheap as well, as you can live a great life with only $3,770, and $7,008, respectively. Also, the people that live here are simply wonderful. Wherever you may go, you’ll find help and accommodation if you need it. And if you still have a need for adventure, it’s super close to many destinations, like Dallas, Denver, Minneapolis, Chicago, and so on.

    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.
