Rhode Island

According to Niche.com, Jamestown is an excellent choice if you are considering this small state on the East Coast, which has a population of 1.057 million. History buffs will love the great deal of culture this original colony offers and nature lovers will enjoy the ocean views as well. Unfortunately, Rhode Island is not very tax-friendly and the living costs are 22 percent over the national average. However, if you have plenty of savings already, this state is a great choice.

While Washington might not be very economical, the prices are not that bad for the Pacific Northwest. Vancouver offers a good lifestyle without needing to spend extravagantly, so keep this in mind. The cost of living in this state is higher than the national average by 21 percent, but it is still much cheaper than California and Hawaii. There are 7.1 million people living in Washington and there is no state income tax here, which is very appealing. Since the average income of households over 65 years old is more than $55,000, a job will surely make things easier.
