I loved my time in Texas, if my wife would be on board I'd retire to Alpine but she thinks it's too remote.

Figure as long as I retire somewhere affordable I can travel around to the places I like.

We purchased a place to move to in a few years but in the meantime, my wife enjoys her job and we travel all of the time. My wife is in New Orleans this weekend and next weekend a group of us are flying to Idaho.

I've lived in very high cost of living areas and right now I enjoy my space and freedom and the outdoors too much. I'm having fun breaking in a new RMAX4 1000 today.

I would have a home base somewhere in Mississippi and then a bunch of leases across the country to support my hobbies i.e. hunting, fishing, golf, hiking, boating.

Trying to churn out a bunch of fancy cocktails for the bar and well in a busy restaurant would probably be a little too much. Pouring drafts and making g&ts at a steady local dive wouldn't be too bad.



I don't know.. Even the casual small joints schedule you for 8+ hours at a time. Even if the job itself is easy, I feel like I'd want something that's a lot less work.

How does Texas get labeled with awful weather but Florida didn’t? It gets hot as shite in Florida too. Normally, Texas has very mild winters too.


Retired , I would be headed to the hill country.

TX weather gets a bad reputation. It's between 60-80 degrees for a high in Houston for over half the year.


bullshite. Houston weather is fricking awful. Having lived here for ten years, it’s the worst thing about this place.

different kind of hot in TX, baw, it's bearable in FL, and not quite as hot, they rarely see triple digits, in TX, it's absolutely oppressive heat, we had over 45 days in a row of >100 a couple of summers ago, forget outside activities during that shite

The weather in most of the deep South sucks imo. I'd include Houston in that as well. Hot and humid as balls 6+ months of the year. I'm sad that it's almost spring actually.

That's why TN was the top of my list. If you live in the mountains, you get true 4 seasons that are pretty mild all around.

That said, I'll take hot and humid as balls over something like the upper midwest every single day.

Florida
Texas
Tennessee
Colorado

That is the correct order.

Maybe South Florida. It gets hot asf in the panhandle and Jacksonville just like it does in Texas. But most of Texas is dry heat with lower humidity. Houston is its own thing.

I could live somewhere like Boone, NC. Otherwise I loathe the summers down here.

Fair enough, I'm probably weird. I like highs in the 60s and 70s during the late fall, winter, and early spring. I also like the 90s for a time, though not as long as we have that here for sure. I can't stand cold weather and I can't deal with dry climates.

My least favorite season. Doesn't start getting green until May, March and April are blah...Still some snow on the trails, but it's breakup time so it's wet and muddy too.
