That is not a marketing number. It is the mathematical result of living in a state that does not tax what you earned.

Florida's zero state income tax is transformative at retirement income levels. A retiree drawing $150,000 annually from a pension, investment accounts and Social Security pays zero state income tax in Florida versus $8,000 to $15,000 annually in their previous state. Over a 20-year retirement, that is $160,000 to $300,000 that stays in the family. Combined with the resort amenities, year-round outdoor lifestyle and community character of Central Florida's 55+ communities, the financial and lifestyle case is unlike anything available in the markets most buyers left behind.
