29. Florida

A comfortable retirement costs: $48,305 a year

Although Florida isn’t among the states where a comfortable retirement costs the least, it’s one of seven states with no income tax — which means residents can hang onto more of their money. One of the best cities for retirement in this income-tax-free state is Tampa, according to another GOBankingRates study. It’s one of the top U.S. cities where your retirement nest egg stretches furthest.
No problem - if you watch your expenses you can still live a comfortable lifestyle.
A big mortgage would be a problem, but most people here do not have a mortgage, or have a very small one. You do not need an expensive home to enjoy all the amenities in TV.
