Another possibility is to pop over the border to MO. Same hills, water etc, but I think the overall cost of living is loweryoubet said:Sometimes you can find an area whose tax strategy is more beneficial for you personally and take advantage of that. For example, if you like Texas Hill Country (I do!) you might also like northern Arkansas. It's also hilly, scenic, not crowded, etc. But, unlike Texas, their property taxes are very low, offset by eye watering high state income taxes. Perhaps, in retirement, you'd like to own a beautiful home but won't have a lot of taxable income. Arkansas would be a good switch for you.
