Retirement: Getting the Most Bang for Your Buck

retirement savingsThere are many things to consider when choosing where to retire: being near family and friends; having access to the medical care you need; choosing a climate that makes life easy and enjoyable. But another huge consideration for people is where they can make the most of their retirement savings.

Kiplinger recently conducted a study on state taxes and found the 15 states with the lowest taxes on retirees. Most of the states exempt a portion of other retirement income, such as pensions or withdrawals from a tax-deferred retirement plans. And all but one of the states exempt Social Security benefits entirely from state taxes.

Which state came in #1? Beautiful Alaska. Alaskans pay no state income tax and no state sales tax! Below is the top 10. Not surprisingly, my state is not on the list!
