Arkansas: Harrison
Coming in with similarities to Roanoke Rapids, Harrison has that very particular Arkansas feel that you will not be able to experience anywhere else. And with 22% of the population being 65 or older, you know that people do love to live here when they’re looking for a retirement place to relocate to.
The only disadvantage, in the eyes of those who don’t have much in their savings account, is that the average home price ends up being high: at nearly $153,000, it is the most expensive entry on our list. And you will also find it a bit disappointing that Arkansas is one of the states that do tax retirement income. However, because the crime rate per 1,000 people is only 21.65, you may find the aspects mentioned earlier less bothersome.
It’s up to you to put everything into balance and see what is best for you!
I live in Egypt and love it-housing and food are affordable, health care is good and affordable. Also the people are very nice. If you live in Cairo, there is a large expat community although I prefer living among the locals.
In Nebraska the home of the corn single mom, tattooed, supper plus sized, rusty mini van wheelen, welfare loven whoes we are taxed to support these loosers. Yes, the corn people let the crooks & murders & rapest out of jail so we get to live in fere for the children of the corn.
I spent 2 weeks on Negros Island and loved it! Much cooler than Manila for example and cleaner.
I could never live in a hot and humid state. I am active and not a chair rocker don’t want to live in an air conditioned box. Cold weather states with snow are the only ones I would ever concider since again I am active with fall and winter activities. Also could not live in the city, love rural living.
Central WA State, Moses Lake great place to live, growing but safely. 26,000 for now. People friendly, willing to help others, many of all ages, races, ethnic groups living here. No one has a superior attitude. Sales tax is all for WA State. No income tax and each time it is proposed, voters shut it down.
5 hr drive to the Pacific Ocean beaches, 2 hrs drive east to Spokane. 300+ days of sunshine. Winter snow measured in inches, usual is 3″. Hot Summers, but 90s average. Dry climate. Most storms pass on by and no major storms.
I have lived in Grant County, WA since 1972. Come visit, check us out this Summer.
New houses being built and older homes, lots to choose from at low pricing.
Check out the Moses Lake website. Moses Lake, a better place to work, play, live.
In Nebraska you get to pay 500 dollars a year to license your 6 year old GMC while in surrounding states it would be 15 to 35 or 45 dollars. Do not try to register your vehicle in other states or the people will get you unless your an illegal looking to rob you blind.
I think if I had no more ties to keep me here, I’d take a chance on learning a new language. I’ve got a substantial retirement buffer and quite frankly I’m not sure how much worse it could be in another country. The flippin’ idiots that have systematically boxed millions of decent people into thinking about making this jump because of their naivete in believing the stupid, greedy, mismanagement and lies they’ve been fed, all because they’ve convinced enough of us they were elected and know what’s best. Excuse me but no, I don’t want to drink that Kool-aid any longer.
Move away from Pennsylvania..They tax you for everything and their taxes are outrageous….
Nowhere is it mentioned about culture, health care, cost of food or gas. Based on your study, I’d rather live in my 40ft Class A motor home.
I retired in Brazil. Free health care which includes unlimited doctor´s visits, hospitalizations, transplants, free hearing aids and cataracts surgery, affordable medicine and many is free.
save places to live with high security, great climate and extremely nice people. You can live well on your Social Security income.
