I really want to stay in the US, just live in a state that is not so far to the left in more ways than one. The problem with NH not having any state
taxes home owners have to foot the bill with there property taxes. On my $300k house I pay $3800 in taxes but also $2850 a year in Hazard
insurance because with live on the rim of a mountain with very high fire danger. If you search the top 10 states to retire most are in the mid-west.
Low taxes, low crime rate and good access to health care. Also a high quality of life is one of the parameters used to rate states. California
always comes toward the bottom of all lists
Where looking at Colorado , Idaho , Montana , Wyoming , South Dakota , Tennessee and Maine. Mostly because it's the farthest away from
California.
It's amazing how much house and land you can buy in those states for under $200. In Orange County Cal. the medium
home price is $640k so that's why I have to live 75 miles from work to afford a house here.
