Rhode Island

Now, how about this small East Coast state? Niche.com reports that Jamestown is a great choice. It is a small place with a population of only 1.057 million. As one of the original colonies, it offers a great deal of culture for history buffs. The ocean views will appeal to nature lovers as well. Sadly, it is not the most tax-friendly option there is. The cost of living might also leave a dent in your wallet since it is 22 percent over the U.S. average. However, this will make for a great choice if you have a lot of savings already.

Washington

Washington might not be the most economical place to move, although the prices are not too bad for the Pacific Northwest. It has a population of 7.1 million people. Vancouver offers a great lifestyle without having to spend extravagantly, so this is worth keeping in mind. While the cost of living is still 21 percent higher than the U.S. average, it is still a lot cheaper than Hawaii and California. The lack of state income tax is very appealing. For households over 65 years old, the average income is more than $55,000, so a job will definitely make things easier.
