$2,500 month for a decent 2 bedroom apartment if you want a decent 3 bedroom 2 bath house $3,500 and up
It’s unreal & we don’t want a mobile home in hurricane prone Florida
Want to get out of the cold/harsh winters, they really raise hell with the body
Come on down here to South Carolina. Our illegal population is only about 6% and we're a gun friendly state. Our COL is lower than most.

Looking at states without a state income tax so that rules out Idaho and factoring in a few other qualifiers Alaska, Tennessee & Florida are at the top of the list but Alaska is ruled out
looking at it from a healthcare/retirement standpoint and it will cost us on average $2k to move to a state with a income tax. While that’s not technically very much living off of a fixed income it does factor in. Also been talking with a friend who is retiring from Shaw AFB in weeks and has purchased a home in the Chattanooga Tennessee area. Another retired friend who lives in the Fort Bragg area is moving to Knoxville Tennessee all due to no state income tax & very friendly to military retirees
Wife wants to go to the Knoxville area & check it out, she likes the Pigeon Forge area & wants to see what Knoxville has to offer
but……we have a 12 hour drive to Canada and have gone up twice this year visiting family & going up over thanksgiving. Need to look at airports & flights
