This state is frequently ranked as the healthiest state in the country – thanks to a particularly easy access to healthcare and a generally healthy environment. That’s not surprising when you see the numbers: 3,478 miles of coastline, 3,400 lakes, 97 mountains over 3,000 feet and 17.5 million acres of forest. Therefore you will not have to beg your friends and family to visit, they will surely want to come themselves!

And on top of all that, the state has also been ranked the safest to live in for countless times. Cost of living in Maine is reasonable, it is ranked as having the lowest cost of living in New England. While Maine does not tax Social Security income, it does, however, tax other forms of retirement income.
