Description
12 East Texas Pine Towns Where Retired Americans Live on Less Than $1,800 a Month
Could a retiree really live in East Texas on less than $1,800 a month?
In this video, we explore 12 affordable Piney Woods towns where low home values, senior property-tax exemptions, modest everyday costs, and access to healthcare can make a fixed retirement income stretch much further.
From Marshall and Jacksonville to Carthage, Crockett, Linden, and San Augustine, we compare home values, rent, hospitals, shopping, taxes, and the trade-offs you should know before moving.
The $1,800 budget assumes one person with a paid-off home, so your actual costs may be higher.
Which East Texas town would you retire to?
