    Where would you settle, if at all

    If you had $X amt of savings, would you pack up (give up US citizenship) to another country, and which country would you settle on?

    If you could live/retire in any state, which would you pick, and why? And, which state do you believe is currently the "free-est" based on(in order) - schooling laws, property laws(castle doctrine), pensions (lack of or fully funded), taxes (property/income/sales), pro 2nd amendment, many recognition of common laws (marriage)

    I think Texas is but I'm sure there is one that is more free. I will probably always stay in Texas. I wouldn't want to leave the United States unless it was absolutely necessary

    I would buy my own island and live out my days drinking wine and laying on my beach.

    There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.

    Switzerland. The taxes can be pretty high in the city, but if you live in the countryside the state leave you pretty much alone. Not perfect but better than this.

    I like Tennessee. Weather is nice, taxes are fairly low compared to other places. The growing season is very long for people who want to have a sustainable lifestyle. Plenty of water.

    Idaho has been looking more and more appealing to me. It's probably where I'll eventually go.

    I ain't picky, as long as the road out front is dirt; pretty much anywhere where population density is 10-50 per square mile works for me.

    You can't run away from trouble, ain't no place that far.

    'We endorse the idea of voluntarism; self-responsibility: Family, friends, and churches to solve problems, rather than saying that some monolithic government is going to make you take care of yourself and be a better person. It's a preposterous notion: It never worked, it never will. The government can't make you a better person; it can't make you follow good habits.' - Ron Paul 1988

    I don't want to leave. I still think there's hope for the United States in the future.

    If I had unlimited money, though? I would definitely find a place someplace up in Washington, or Oregon. All that woodland area, I'd find a nice quiet place that's still a close distance I can hike to a decent sized town if I need to, but far enough away it's nice and quiet. I'd set up solar panels, clean water irrigation systems for crops, a clean well. About 10 acres to grow food on me to keep me busy. I'd also use the money to hire someone I can trust to come out about once a week to help with the crops, animals, drop off some other nonperishables, and make sure I'm not dead.

    It would be my own little rough living paradise. With enough money set back for when I do want to take a vacation (Maybe in the winter months) and just go someplace.

    Is Alaska nice?

    I like Idaho.... along the rivers... places like Clarke Fork, etc. I also like places in Kansas, Tonganoxie (NW of Kansas City)... I will most likely ride out my career in Kansas and move to a place like Idaho for retirement... or maybe in the White Mountains in Arizona... far from population centers but not so rural that I would be alone in the woods so to speak.

    New Hampshire.

    I already did it. Been here in Maine for 3 years now. In that time we have gotten constitutional carry and legal dope. So apparently I chose well. We also have the lowest crime rate in the nation. The rest of the country could go to $#@! and life wouldn't change a whole lot here.

    From what I see on the internet, Tennessee interstates are the worse for civil forfeiture.

    I'd settle in the Live Free or Die state of New Hampshire. Really, it has the most going for it now and certainly the most potential to improve.

    There is only one major comprehensive report comparing freedom in the 50 states. That report, Freedom in the 50 States, claims that New Hampshire is the freest state in the nation. https://www.freedominthe50states.org/
    "New Hampshire is overall the freest state in the Union, combining relatively high scores on both personal and economic freedom."

    There is only one major report that compares economic freedom in North America. That report, Economic Freedom of North America, claims that New Hampshire has the most economic freedom in the nation. https://www.fraserinstitute.org/stud...h-america-2016
    "New Hampshire leads U.S. in economic freedom two years running; New York still the least-free state"

    The future looks bright in New Hampshire. New Hampshire has one of the least bad governors in the nation, and is expected to expand on cannabis freedom, school choice, reduce corporate taxes, eliminate some regulations, and more over the next two years. Plus, back several years ago, the top liberty activists in the nation got together and voted on which state makes the most sense to encourage 20,000 liberty activists to move to, to create a society with liberty in their lifetime. New Hampshire won that vote by the top liberty activists. Since then, 20,000 liberty activists signed up, triggering the 5 year move period, and already, 1,000s of liberty activists have made the move to New Hampshire, with 1,000s more expected.

    So if you want some freedom now, overall, NH is your best bet. For example, there are some communities in NH without personal income, general sales, or even property taxes. The same types of very rural communities are also found in Alaska, but those communities are substantially more isolated. Not to mention NH has the lowest unemployment rate, nearly the highest median household income, nearly the lowest crime rate, and the lowest poverty rate.

    If you want a lot of freedom in the future, NH is your best bet. There is no telling how free NH will become. However, it is clear, not only is NH going to remain the freest place in the Eastern United States for decades to come, it could well become a truly free place if another 10,000 - 20,000 liberty activists move there.

    If I was already in the East , NH would get consideration .I would not though leave from further West to move that close to the huge population centers of commies in the East that would be close by just across state lines. I would consider other places , Alaska is too cold unless you are young . I would consider other places like Southern In, The Indian Territory or Idaho .

    but but.. NH's growing season is what? June, July, August and part of September? Then it's frosty white, right?
