You have found the rub, there is always taxes. The issue is you need internet or local jobs and guess what outside of starmlink there was nothing in the places you can afford. The extra fun part is there are people who move to low COL areas after selling their property when retiring just to make it work. This is a reason that these locations sometimes have a lot of elderly people. Now the real fucked up part is that even this strange retirement tactic does not work if you never are able to buy a place.
