39. Maryland

Maryland lives up to its name in a lot of ways. It offers miles of coastline and tons of job opportunities for retirees. In fact, retirees in Maryland boast the second-highest household income in the U.S. However, there are caveats. The state has a high cost of living, and there are plenty of taxes, including taxes on things like estate and inheritance. Sales tax is around 6% in Maryland.
