The Last Frontier is most definitely not the first U.S. state that pops into our minds when we picture the perfect retirement, but it could be financially speaking. None of your IRA, pension, or 401(k) income will be taxed here. Alaska has no income tax.
Social Security benefits aren’t taxed either. Plus, your children might benefit as well since the Last Frontier has no inheritance tax or estate tax. We know… it can get kind of windy and chilly there, but at least you’re financially secure.

Texas Born & raised, now in my retirement years. There is not another state I would live in! More tax benefits in your later years and the climate is great if you like 100+ degree summers.
I’m very happy in my own little town down by Houston, TX
