Currently live in Charleston, SC. If not in Charleston, I will retire in Hilton Head on one of the golf courses. Year around golf. Can’t beat it. Florida would be #2 (Amelia Island)

Take up bartending, no joke.
Too much responsibility. I'd pour beer at a taproom though.

I retired at 42 and am in my second job in Olympia.

Depends on the gig.
Trying to churn out a bunch of fancy cocktails for the bar and well in a busy restaurant would probably be a little too much. Pouring drafts and making g&ts at a steady local dive wouldn't be too bad.

Alternate between Revelstoke (Canada) and The Remarkables (New Zealand) for year long access to the slopes.

I'd leave the country.

Income tax does matter in retirement as you are drawing down your traditional 401K and IRA balances.

Costa Rica or Belize.
But I’m past 42 now.
Funny, I just was talking about this with the wife (pics on Reddit) yesterday. Hope to have $7.5 - $10k a month coming in during retirement and Costa Rica or Belize you could live well.

Western Wyoming. Same outdoors stuff as Colorado no state income tax and way fewer California transplants for now.

I’d work to 50 and then pick Colorado and Texas

I work in ATX and have lived in TX for 30 years. Been a great place to raise kids and make money. It is changing fast and what made TX great is mostly a thing of the past. Like someone else said, work here can be good, but retiring not so much. My property tax is getting close to 10k a year.
We are early 50’s and figure we got at least 10 years to enjoy the outside as we are avid hikers and ultra runners. Decided on CO Springs and bought 5 acre house in Black Forest outside of town. The state is blue, but the Springs is conservative and I won’t give a shite about politics when I retire. Hopefully sell our current home in a few months, work a bit longer and head up to enjoy the outdoors. We decided to blow the wad on a good place and who needs a ton of money. Not having to work in the medical field with a mask all day ain’t for me. This C19 thing has made things unbearable and truly precipitated our decision to check out and disappear. Worst thing about the rural CO is no fiber. I have 1.5 Mb dsl lol, but just got in on the Starlink beta, so problem solved.

I retired at 46 and stayed in SLC, and bought a house in Auburn. I half own a place in Barbados but I've been there a week in two years. Its a nice income place.
I haven't really changed much, but I can get drunk by 10am if the mood strikes.

Current retirement plans are winters/spring in Clearwater, FL. Summers in Idaho. 2 months in the fall at my current home.
Rinse and repeat.

I'm 45 and retired a year ago. I am living back at my farm in SE Oklahoma. When my wife stops working in the next 3-5 years or so, we will jet out to a large tract of land we purchased elsewhere.
Right now, I am just having fun riding my ATVs and UTVs, fishing, hunting. I also take the 5th wheel camper to the lake along with the boat and jet skis.
It's a nice life. Not gonna lie. I also smoke a good amount of weed pretty much daily.
ETA--I look more mid 30s than mid 40s. So whenever anyone asks what I do, I always say I am a freelance architect. But then start bitching about how codes and regulations make it impossible to have any creative freedom.

Replying to my own post but no one ever says Germany. I lived in Frankfurt for a couple of years. I could move there at least for a portion of the year. In many ways its much like the positives of America, with the women being more liberal sexually. As a single man, that's not a bad benefit.
