Warm temperatures year-round make Arizona another prime destination for retirees. A substantial population of senior residents means this state will rely heavily younger resident contributions to fund its Social Security program. For older residents, it seems paying off debt took a front seat to saving for retirement, meaning Social Security will be a welcome payout for Arizona retirees each month.

Looks like these states are the most liberal states in the USA.
New Hampshire does not have a high tax rate. In fact, there are comparison websites that show it is the third lowest tax rate (from the States) in the nation. We do not have any income tax. We do not have any sales tax. True, the real estate taxes are relatively high, but when you take into consideration that there are essentially no other taxes, we’re getting off easy. Also, the cost of living is rather low, compared to most other places. Food, gas, and insurance are lower here than in most other places that I have lived. So I have no idea what this survey is talking about. Perhaps New Hampshireites do rely on social security to a large extent, but when all things are considered, that government payout comes a lot closer to paying all their bills than in New York, for example.
