I am a military retiree. Kids are grown and out on their own. It's just the wife and I. We are basically looking for somewhere that has lower taxes (NY hurts my pension), less restrictive gun laws, lower cost of living, less tax on gas, a slower pace, and nicer people. I have previously lived in Virginia, Florida, Missouri, and a short while in Arizona. My wife would prefer to stay east of the Mississippi (grew up in Georgia) which is closer to my Daughter in Northern Virginia. Son lives in Albuquerque, so if we live near a hub (Atlanta ?) it would be convenient for him to visit...he is financially better off than my daughter. Both my wife and I are looking for a bit less winter than we get here in western NY.
