Well, if you are staying anywhere on the mainland, the Deep South is the most sane place in the USA right now....

Or Montana. There’s always Montana.

Does time zone matter? If not I’d look at Portugal or Slovenia. Maybe Croatia. If you want to stay in the US the states you mentioned would be at the top of my list


Someone else mentioned Uruguay. That’s worth looking in to for sure. Super low crime rate, beautiful women

This is a good way to think of it. Bogota is another big city in which you would be a playboy king on $100K.

While beautiful, it is still snowing in Montana... in June. Don't think I can do up to 75% of the year in snow.

I spent my 20s and Early 30s in Boulder. Best place ever to be young and in your prime .

Boise is a place I am looking at because it seems big enough that there'd be people my age around to meet and hang with. I like hiking and getting out in nature.

The problem with Boise is it's not a hub. If that's what you want I'd suggest Denver or Salt Lake City depending on where your travel destinations are. Denver is a cooler town, but SLC is much easier to get into the mountains from, and it's going to be stable (not left wing) much longer than Colorado.

Holy shite, No! Almost everyone with money who live in the Rockies are there in the summers and live in the south for the winters. The Rocky Mountains are all about the summers. If you think it's about the winters it's a sure sign you've never been there except on a ski vacation.

Year 1: pick your top 10 cities/towns in America, optimized seasonally, rent Airbnb for 30 days in each one.

Year 2: spend 3 mo each in S America, SEA, eastern Europe/Baltics. (Start studying languages in year one).

Year 3: rinse and repeat until you find a wife, find a new job, or find a place you don't want to leave.

If possible buy a small house/condo to rent out year 1, ideally in a college town.

Golf and hiking require warmer weather.

But I also want to use this as an opportunity to pick up some cool things. Mountains would be intriguing bc I could pick up something like skiing or snowboarding in the winter.


If you're okay being 30 minutes from night life look at the Heber Valley in Utah. For golf, hiking, and snowboarding it is without equal in the USA. There are seven medium to world class ski resorts within an hour, one within 15 minutes, and there are about five golf courses in that valley. Plus, you are 45 minutes from isolated wilderness trails.

There is the Mormon thing, which is fading away but is still a factor sometimes.

Really don't understand your infatuation with landing him in SLC suburbs that are Mormon strongholds when there is a perfectly good city with more to do, less Mormons, and a very manageable COL that's as close to outdoors and even closer to the ski resorts

I’d head to Bawcomville and IWHI & PIIHB to about 350 of the local female populace with extreme vigor hookers & blow included.

Maybe two chicks at one time as well.

Then see if I wanted to do all of that again.

I wouldn’t rule out a place out west just because the mountains can get light snow in late spring. That’s not going to affect your day to day life in any meaningful way

Las Vegas. No state income tax. No snow. No hurricanes. Everything is 24 hours. 3.5 hour drive to L.A./Santa Monica/Anaheim. Major airport with plenty of non-stop flights to everywhere else.

Your neighbor could also be a deejay of a dancer.

I’m going to pretend this isn’t a troll

Boulder isn’t a small college town

Boulder is 30 minutes from Denver

Boulder has tons to do from a nightlife and restaurants perspective

Boulder real estate prices are insane, so yes, it is a prime place to live based on supply/demand for housing
