Retire To Oregon

Oregon does have the 4th highest income tax in the nation but does offer a social security exemption and have above average health care. With the 11th largest retirement population in the country you’ll be able to figure out how they survive with such high real estate costs and cost of living. Our somewhat humorous take is that Oregon is the retirement state for people that lived and worked in California. The weather isn’t quite as nice but compared to California the costs are cheaper and there’s very little crime. It’s also a pretty convenient state to live in, as it is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west, Washington to the north, Idaho to the east, and California and Nevada to the south.
