The tax breaks - Save $$$

3. No Social Security Tax:  (by Delaware)
4. No Inheritance Tax:  (Generally speaking)

The location

There's no location in the Mid-Atlantic quite like Sussex County, Delaware. Offering a relaxing, coastal resort lifestyle that's quiet and secluded in the off-season, Sussex County provides the best of all worlds. Southern Delaware's resort setting provides its residents with big-city amenities for small-town prices.   Beautiful community areas, upper-echelon medical facilities and renowned resort areas all surround an otherwise small-town landscape. Further inland, the western part of the county abounds with rural life and small-town living at its best.   Homeowners are never far from major metropolitan areas (Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, DC aren't long rides at all) - but they're far enough away to forget about the hustle and bustle that city life brings. You can be away from it or part of it whenever you'd like.
