Is Maryland (Or Any Other State) a Good Place to Retire
June 20, 2021 — Virginia’s recent Comment to our “25 Most Popular Active Communities in the Southeast” article really got things going. Many folks jumped on her question, which was what people thought about retiring to Maryland. Since hers generated so many other Comments (and Maryland is not in the Southeast) we thought we would pull all of them together under a new post, and thus keep both articles in better focus.
Most of the Comments quickly got into taxes and cost of living, although just about everyone liked other aspects of the Free State. Regarding taxes, a wise estate lawyer said something very wise to my mother and I about them. He said: “Don’t let the tax tail wag the dog”. In other words, if you want to do something for good reasons (like move to another state), do it. In other words, enjoy your life; fear of taxes is not the way to live. Just as important as that thought goes, you also have to act on the basis of the facts, not on what you heard from someone else.
