Alaska has no state income taxes. Every citizen (kids too) receives a Permanent Fund Dividend every year if you qualify. Most areas have low or no sales taxes. Our summers are INCREDIBLE, the Northern Lights are spectacular and if you like winter sports this is heaven. Real estate prices are pretty reasonaable compared to other areas. We have great medical services, hospitals and docs. But..... you gotta like snow!! Or if you move to SE Alaska down in Haines, Juneau, Ketchican, Petersburg, you gotta like rain!! And Alaskans LOVE TO QUILT!!
