Anybody doing their ER/retirement in Maine? It seems taxes can be a bit much on typical ER type income (no tax on SS, but pretty much everything else), as well as pretty steep RE taxes, but I wonder if the offset in a high quality of life, can make it worth it. Twenty five years ago I would have been very interested in a very remote location, but now I think it wise to think small town, and being kinda remote/lots of privacy and especially quiet. I'm just south of Erie PA, so I know well lots-o-snow, and very cold winters.
Thinking lower half of the state, inland might be a nice idea, and would appreciate your insights and experience living in ME, especially as an ER Mustacian. Thank you.
