Give me the mountain air of CO. Has to be above 6500 ft and on the western slope. Champaign powder and mud season. Oh yeah!

My wife wants to move to Denver badly. Whenever we retire I would bet money we will be leaving either in AZ or CO.

Well, if remote working, should be a state with low or no income tax. But Florida sucks. Nevada? A bit desolate. Arizona? Northern California (high taxes, so make sure you don't trigger residency).

My permanent residence would remain in NH. I like my no-income tax status.

And so close to the Wooden Spoon.

And so close to the Wooden Spoon.

And countless open air lobster joints on the coast.

On a beach. ... somewhere other than MD.

Ok, so perhaps a bit too strongly worded. How about "Florida, except for short visits in the colder winter months, does not appeal to me."

And for the record I live in Tallahassee.

Well, I have to agree -- there's very little that happens in Tallahassee that appeals to us, either.

No income tax in FL, either...

I'd like to have an Italian villa, a beachfront cottage, and a Colorado log cabin. I'd spend my retirement traveling between the three. In all likelihood I'll have two of the three once we retire and sell our house.....in 25 years (n) :thumbsdown:

No state income tax in Texas as well.

No state income tax in Texas as well.

I don't want to live in either of those places from March-October, as New England is where my family live, but FL is definitely on my list of winter living potential.

Is there a general guideline as to how long one must reside in a given state during the year in order to pay its state taxes?

I hope to learn this on Monday.

There seems to be no one-size-fits-all answer, Check this out.

Imo, november through march are the worst months down here, with congestion from all the snowbirds.

 

[David O]

I would live within 4-20 miles from where I live now!

Well, I'm looking for a snowbird lifestyle. New England is gorgeous the rest of the year. And my family lives there.
