7 Worst States for Retirement

how’s it for retirement?
(this claims not good)
I like the Chatanooga area.
That article in that post is crap. Go back and read it’s short paragraph on TN. Nothing but simple broad statements.
For example, “high state and local sales tax so you’ll pay more for everything you buy”. First, no crap Sherlock (to the author not you), that’s what a sales tax is and 48 states have one. Second, yes, at a max of 9.25% it might be considered “high”. But we again have no income tax. States with both take more between the two taxes.
Crime rate? Take out Nashville and Memphis and it’s non-existent persay.
Low property taxes, low cost of living, above average wages, decent year around weather, plenty of opportunity and growth, etc.
Could do worse.
