If you want a really affordable place to live in a rural area with not big bucks, consider looking way out west in the northwestern part of the state. If you're more independent and looking for scenic, rural area, look into Franklin County, MA (i.e. Greenfield and the surrounding towns) or at North Adams, Adams, Cheshire, Lanesborough, New Ashford, or at one of the "Hilltowns" (Savoy, Windsor, Cummington, and Becket all come to mind). And, if you're not so independent, give Pittsfield a look.

As far as southern NH/eastern MA, just on Social Security, you're going to struggle. The mention of places out west like Arizona and southern New Mexico (warm but not necessarily suffocating weather depending on elevation) with cheap homes and super low property taxes is spot on. . . do look there as well.
