Slippy I have several LSU friends that have retired to Hot Springs Village Arkansas...
they're wanting me to move up there when I retire...
guess I'll have to take a trip soon to check it out...

Bisbee, AZ is a very cool little town

Spent a week in Asheville last month, and that area is hands down #1 on our retirement list so far. Gorgeous place. Apparently the town is pretty liberal, but the people couldn't have been nicer and nobody was in your face. They also ditched masks at pretty much 100% when the mandate ended.
Good beer, outstanding views, good weather..

I have an uncle with a home there. Crime is an issue (all of his internet/phone wiring to the home were just stolen). But cost of living and lifestyle were attractive.

Rocketman gets all the fanfare, but I think Queen’s ‘39 is the GOAT sad/lonely astronaut song.

No doubt… as long as I have a fireplace and power and tv I’m great.

no one who has ever spent any significant time there would tell you that. The weather is great, the women are beautiful, and I do know some financial benefits but abruptly ends there. The infrastructure is complete garbage and the people are lazy as frick. If you could completely insulate yourself from the outside world it would be worthwhile, but if you ever had to leave your house you would lose your mind.

Pop is retiring to Algarve, Portugal. Seems like a damn nice place.

Had a guy in our office last week who moved to Louisiana from Utah and was raving about how great it is here. Takes all kinds.

I have Taos in the back of my mind as a place I could end up. Nice scenery, still relatively inexpensive, and within driving distance of Louisiana.

I'm gonna say nowhere; cuz every single place on the fricking planet will have some problems.

Nice option, a lot cooler than southern AZ and geographically nicely located. But like most parts of the country, the nice areas in AZ (Gilbert, chandler, Scottsdale, flagstaff) housing market is crazy high.

I retired close enough to my kids and grandkids. I can travel anywhere.

If you like to golf, it's probably awesome.

I think Taos is pretty expensive.
