Not looking forward to the humidity in the south, but I can't stay in CA when it's this fn stupid, politically. I got used to it in the Philippines and I didn't have AC there.
I would be researching TN or FL, no state income taxes, and much lower cost of living, especially in TN where we get the nice, cheap TVA electric Co-Op, Non-profit electricity.
Just have to decide if you prefer the mountain area of East TN or the rural areas that feed into Nashville, which have become more pricey over the last decade or Rural West Tn, which is pretty humid from May until late September and even into October some years, often with almost no breaks. TN is one of those unusual States with at least 5 different geographic regions! Take your pick.
It's the AC that ruins your ability to acclimate to the humidity, but I hate to sweat outside unless I'm doing some sort of farming or garden work. So, I have been ruined with my health problems and having to start back to daily walking, heat and humidity and all. I will have to last a bit longer just to help with Grandkids! I figure what with being left handed, all sorts of health problems and meds, I will be lucky to see my late 60's or mid 70's, that's why I tell everyone that I deal with in the public that it's "Another good day above ground!" We aren't promised tomorrow!
