5. Hawaii

Naturally, Hawaii is a dream destination. But it’s also a popular place for tourists, and that means it’s expensive. Out of the whole U.S, in Hawaii, you can expect to pay $2,975 a month for rent which is 3 times the national average. While your social security and pension won’t be taxed, Hawaii has an income tax range of 11%. That’s the second highest across all states.
