I would imagine Texas.

Depends on your career, skills, and lifestyle.

Almost every state has reason to live in it depending on your personal situation.

fuck off we're full

What if a person makes 60k passively, and they don't want to work anymore? Which state is the best for someone like this? Asking for a friend.

You guys already know the answer. The only people who disagree are poor. You aren't poor are you anons?

Every state not touching the coast besides Colorado is immediately out of the question

What do you want to do, though? That's going to have a hell of a lot more to do with what state to move to. Even "high COL" places like CA and NY have areas that would be livable on 60k and cool depending on what you're into.

Plus at 60k you aren't getting hammered with highest marginal tax rates even in CA.

Although specific areas of certain states are strictly suboptimal compared to nearby counterparts

>rural new york (rural new england / michigan is better depending on preference)
>urban michigan (urban illinois / mn is better depending on preference)
>central valley california (rural oregon is better)
>urban alabama/mississippi (urban texas / georgia is better)

yeah paying 50% of your income to the government is awesome

Don't fucking tell him.

I always wonder if people who post this picture have ever seen a place like this. It isn't some dystopian hellhole that stretches on for miles, it's a small square along a massive interstate surrounded by hundreds of thousands of acres of forest and mountains. These are modern day taverns along a very, very long road.

At 60k in CA the effective state tax rate is only 3.7%

Financially speaking, California makes most sense if you are in tech/hollywood, on welfare, or living in an inherited house.

Tradies and small landlords do much better in flyovers. Finance jobs are best in NYC, etc etc

If youre already well off and looking for a place to settle down, one of the rural red states. If you dont already have money and need to make it, youre gonna have to live in or adjacent to a nig infested city

hawaii or alaska

i hate california but if i had fuck you money i would without a doubt have a second home in san diego

>T. Feelings hurt by picture
Sad that you'll defend your souless lifestyle

None of them.

For the average person, MA. For anyone in the 1%, CA (yes even with taxes).
