The retirees: Just under 70 years old, with $5 million net worth. The wishlist: Good health care, good weather, reasonable taxes. Here are our columnist's suggestions...

We’re 69 and 68, respectively, and are presently retired in Las Vegas. Our net worth is about $5 million, so money is not an overriding issue.

Phoenix seems to have the big-city feel and the amenities that come with that, but not only do you get oppressive heat; you get sandstorms.Thanks for your consideration,Good health care and weather — and more reasonable taxes — are three of the most common requests I get from readers of this column.

While it’s certainly not cheap to live in Honolulu , with your nest egg, you can likely swing it. Added bonuses for you: It’s in a more tax-friendly state for retirees than California, though it’s still not as low-tax as, for example, Florida. One potential downside for you is that it might be a bit far from friends and family.OK, admittedly, summers are humid , and there is a hurricane risk, but hear us out on Sarasota: It consistently lands on best-places-to-retire lists for good reason.

U.S. News & World Report recently ranked Dallas–Fort Worth one of the 10 best places to retire, noting that it offers “both big-city excitement and quiet, suburban living” as well as “an interesting mix of Texas pride and cosmopolitan offerings.” You’ll find thousands of restaurants , tons of shopping and a bustling arts and culture scene, which includes the renowned Dallas Museum of Art and the Nasher Sculpture Center.
