@mayinmidlife: Retiring from the military? Where you live could make a BIG difference in how far your retirement check goes! 💰🇺🇸 Here are five states worth considering if you want to make the most of your military retirement benefits: 🇺🇸 1. Texas: No state income tax, plus significant property tax exemptions for qualifying disabled veterans. Some veterans may qualify for a 100% homestead exemption. 🌴 2. Florida: No state income tax, military retirement pay isn’t taxed, and qualifying disabled veterans can receive valuable property tax benefits. Just watch those homeowners insurance costs! 🏡 3. Alabama: Military retirement pay is exempt from state income tax, housing is relatively affordable, and property taxes are generally low. 🌊 4. South Carolina: Military retirement pay is exempt from state income tax, and qualifying disabled veterans may receive substantial property tax exemptions. ⛰️ 5. Tennessee: No state individual income tax, including on military pensions and other retirement income. Some areas also offer a lower cost of living. Here’s what I want you to remember: Just because a state doesn’t tax your military retirement doesn’t mean it’s the most affordable place to live. Property taxes, housing prices, insurance, healthcare access, and your VA disability rating can all change the equation. I retired after 24 years in the Navy, and one thing I’ve learned is that planning for retirement is about more than your monthly check. It’s about making that check work for you. 💬 Veterans and military retirees, where did you settle after retirement? Would you recommend your state to another veteran? 📌 Save this for your retirement planning, and follow @MayInMidLife for more military retirement, transition, and veteran benefits information. #MilitaryRetirement #VeteranBenefits #MilitaryTransition #VeteranLife #retirementplanningtips
