Summary
Thinking of retiring in Arizona for the sun and no state tax? Think again—new data says you’ll need $810,000 saved up to retire comfortably there, thanks to rising housing costs. While Arizona’s mid-range in cost, it’s still pricey compared to places like North Dakota ($645K) and way behind states like New Jersey and Hawaii ($1M+). Social Security covers just $24K of your $56K annual budget, leaving a big gap. Warm weather and golf courses aside, your finances need to be ready—or you might end up playing catch-up.
