I’m looking for a cannabis-friendly red-leaning state with no state income taxes where should I retire on $60,000 a year? MarketWatch 2/20/2021
Dear MarketWatch,
I’d like to retire in a no (or low) state-income-tax state near water and a state or national park. I want red politics but with (hopefully) legal pot (medical or recreational), and weather that isn’t too cold. I’d compromise on the pot for Texas, if necessary.
I don’t want to be in New Hampshire, Florida or Washington or too close to California.
We’ll have a budget of about $5,000 a month and are selling a house worth $300,000-ish. I’d love a place with a college vibe and affordable food, too. One of the things that seems to be overlooked in these “where to retire” conversations is how much fresh food costs. I am vegetarian so access to fresh fruits and vegetables is super important to me.

At first, the headline looked like something out of
The Onion. Florida has thrown its hat into the ring to host the postponed 2020 Olympic Games that are due to take place in Tokyo this summer. Since 80 percent of Japan’s residents believe that hosting a super-spreader event in the middle of a pandemic might not be the best use of resources or worth the risk, Florida’s Trumpist state government is putting its foot forward, even if that foot is sinking into the Atlantic Ocean because of global warming.
