10 Worst States for Retirement!

I retired to San Diego County in 1996 and my tax footprint is extremely small. I pay zero property taxes. I live in my RV on government property, paying nothing for rent or utilities in exchange for a security presence and light maintenance. California has no personal property tax like many Eastern States. During the last 16 years, many years I have not owed any State income tax. In the years that I did, it has averaged $90 a year. Sales taxes in California are minimal on food items. My receipt last night at Walmart for $86.10 shows an 8% sales tax applied on eligible items for a total tax of $1.91. Most of California does not do a biennial smog check. Enhanced vehicle emission rules/laws apply to metro areas, and zip codes with a rural population density are exempt until the vehicle is sold. Gas in San Diego used to the highest in the lower 48 in 1996-2000. Even higher than LA to the North. Now gas in Chicago and many other cities are higher. As far as gas taxes, all States are equal when the overall figures include higher income, sales, property, personal taxes, and toll fees credited in the general funds in all State budgets that are applied to road construction and maintenance. My point is, it is not where you live, but how you want to live that should determine your retirement. For me, in California, 90% of my income is disposable income.
