Southwestern Arizona desert city at the California-Mexico-border tri-point — anchored by the Yuma Marine Corps Air Station and one of the largest "snowbird" winter-retreat economies in the US (a third of Yuma's November-March population are seasonal northern-US residents). Downtown Yuma is the small walkable core. US has no DNV; ESTA 90 days. Arizona has state income tax (2.5% flat). The structural draws are dramatic Sonoran desert geography, year-round-warm winters, and meaningfully cheap pricing. Brutal summer heat (July averages 42°C) is the practical filter.
Cost-adjusted FIRE number, time-to-FI scenarios, and how this base compares to a US lifestyle baseline.
