I just read an article that said FL has the most to offer for people retiring and not paying a lot to live there. I forget the other states except South Dakota. I didn't realize it was so affordable to live there, and that kind of interests me.
My Utopia place to live will have mountains, aspen trees and elk in the area, preferably in my back pasture. But that's now a place where I feel I can make a living. I looked at quite a few places to move to and be able to make a decent living without being in a big city, and Tyler TX met all my requirements. It was a good choice, I just wish we has more elevation changes in the land here and taxes where lower.
