The Kiplinger organization has been around for several decades, at least, and is an organization that deals in financial analysis. Today, I ran across a news story dealing with a new (October 2010) report from Kiplinger about states that were friendly to retirees. This information is valuable to NON retirees as well because it deals with varied taxes imposed by each state.
There is a lot of information at the link below, with graphics for the best and the worst, but also a more detailed report for each state by choosing that state in the "pull-down" field listed as states.
Thanks Terry, I have not seen you around for a while I guess I have been reading the wrong post.

Terry,
Read thru this site and multiple others regarding states most favorable to retirees regarding sales taxes/property taxes/pensions/ss benefits. Texas seems to be a very favorable for retirees. No wonder there are multiple RV clubs Headquartered in Texas. If we retire to Texas or at least get our DL from Texas to become a resident, just have to figure out the best cities to live in if we decide to base camp instead of full-time. But did come across this site for best cities in Texas to retire which were in the "hill country."
