You Owned or Created a small or medium size business. You took all the risks and put your life and your children’s lives at risk. Yet, you paid employees and helped them become successes too, and you paid your taxes which paid all sorts of other folks.
Retirement, you finally made it and worked hard your entire life; you did the right thing, walked the line, and worked long hours. You are a Real Hero. As a business owner, you worked 24/7/365.

It’s time for you to retire. So let us try to pick a state and city that does not have high taxes so that you, the real hero, can retire in peace.
