What's the minimum salary you would consider full retirement?

Retiring someplace without state taxes would be ideal. And some place low property taxes.
I’m just going to warn you now that doesn’t exist. States get their revenue one way or another. Like Texas. They have no income tax. But they get you on property tax, among other things.

California has low property taxes but gets you on income tax.

Are there some states in which you will typically pay less in taxes than others? Yes. But not by a lot.
