Debating making a move out of Cheeseland and debating whee to go. On one hand I have family in NY, AZ, SC, GA, FL and WI on the other I have lived there before. Things that are important to us are good schools that are properly funded, reasonable cost of living including taxes, social events and of course jobs. So what or where would you move and why?

I enjoyed my brief stay in tampa florida last month. Didn't feel that over populated. I don't think i could sustain the hot weather all year but it seemed nice. No income tax also. I'm sure someone else on the board can hopefully give unbiased suggestion or further info about tampa. If I had to make the same decision for my parents I would send them in that direction.

Another suggestion is richmond va low cost of living. I had a great paying job there almost zero traffic and good airport.

I do not think I would want to live in the south again. Hot, Very humid and Slooowwww. I do have family in FL (Orlando, Vero Beach). The places I am researching now are Denver CO. Eastern KY TN area and western Oregon. All have a good income to expense ratio, good schools and things to do. I will say that suprisingly KY and TN really have intrested me. I may take a little trip next month during spring break.

I've never been to any of those places
why the change?

[azjetfan]

I like to move. I consider it a life experience. My field of work allows me to find a job just about anywhere. I guess I like change. More exploring right now than a firm choice. Also tired of snow. Has not been above freezing here for probably six weeks.

My family used to have a house in Denver, CO. Grandparents sold it a couple of years before they died. Really loved the area when I was there although I haven't been back in a while. Recently passed legislation might make me want to go back though

When I lived in AZ I used to go to Bronco games with some friends and have done a few MTB races in the area as well. I would say I have spent enough time there to say I believe I would like it. Before I moved to WI, I considered FT. Collins. I could have transferred with Wells Fargo since there was a DM position open at the time. It would have been a step down though so I went to WI. Also my wife has family here. The more I read about Knoxsville and Asheville the more I like it. Planning a trip through that area over spring break.

It was -2 degrees here this morning. We have not been above freezing since well before Christmas. -19 degrees two thursdays ago. Have not seen my lawn since Halloween (snow). Denver seems pretty warm to me.

Denver rarely gets as cold as WI/MN (-13 below last Friday morning). It will get hit with snowstorms, but the daily average high is still 45 degrees in January. I have family in Boulder, and every time I have been out there it has been great.

Down in Charelston, Beaufort SC Area. 66degrees sunny and beautiful. Meanwhile just got off phone with my wife and she said its 15 degrees. Mmmmmm

I think once I reach retirement age I'm going to move to southern California. Probably Santa Barbara. I can't see myself as an old man still dealing with snow.

My dad says when he retires from politics he wants to move to Dominican Republic...I need to take my ass back down there too

Hopefully in a few years Americans will be able to travel to Cuba as tourist. That's where I'd like to visit. Hopefully Castro will finally die soon and maybe that will do more to ease restrictions.

The cost of living is a little to high in SoCal. Also I really don't like high temps. AZ was like a damn oven. One of the reasons I left. Hilton Head Island was nice but very tourist driven. Also getting over populated. Otherwise I did like the south for the most part.

Speaking of the cost of living...I'm looking to go to graduate school in the Fall and I'd want to move into graduate student housing, they want $1,500 a month for a studio . Here in NYC though that's about the norm.

What does that include? Utilities, Phone, Internet, or Cable?

[SecondHandJets]

I've been pushing to move out West for a while. In the last 2 years, I had friends move to San Diego, LA, Vegas (3 different people) and Seattle. My wife loves LA. I would do Vegas, but it's too damn hot and I'm not sure how it will be once my son starts getting out and about. I floated the idea of FL but she said she'd rather move to Jamaica. I really hate the winter so I'm looking to go South or West.

It comes furnished, wi-fi/cable ready, and includes all utilities. In the grand scheme of things it isn't that bad

If this is in the city, that's actually a bargain.
