Tennessee

Anyone live there… the wife & I are retired and looking for states that have better community, more affordable, less taxes etc. The state of Tennessee has my attention. So any information would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks

 

Ok… how was it?

 

I was looking about 50 miles from Memphis. Prices are good, taxes are low and your in farm country… my wife is a farm girl. there you can raise chickens which she likes maybe even get a small horse for the grandchildren I don’t know. I don’t know I haven’t really spent enough time looking around but I know things gotta be better than New Jersey.

 

LOL… yeah, the distance to a cancer center is important to us because my wife requires cancer treatments. New Jersey is a nightmare. City dwellers are pouring in here. The kid behind me is on drugs and he screams out obscenities at the top of his lungs… I’ve had to install cameras and should load the shotgun. Then taxes are extremely high. Our woke Governor is quoted as saying that if you don’t like the taxes then move out! yea OK.

 

Thanks anyway

I’m being honest here, I’m looking for lower costs, a sense of community, a good church ( preferably Primitive Baptist ( streamlined, simple, Christian) a system more friendly to lowering taxes and helping people etc. Hickory Valley Tenn. appears to fit that demographics.

 

Did you ever work for him or his father? The answer is no. So shut up… you don’t know what your talking about.

 

Biden’s from Scranton, That in itself is an embarrassment to all people in PA

 

OK, I’m not looking at Nashville. I’ve worked in NYC for many years in the construction trades and not looking to retire in any cities. Chattanooga is nice if you ever visited, smaller, no garbage in the streets… I walked around the river and in the city and didn’t see any robbery and hear any sirens so it seems safe. But I don’t know Tennessee all that much other than what I’ve seen on the internet, and what I’ve seen appears attractive so I want to explore more. But you said the medium income in Nashville is $65.K…. How can you afford a house for $465K? That wouldn’t be enough to buy a crappy townhome without land by a train tracks! You would then have to pay 15K + in taxes. That 465 would be a basic home…. Think 650 and up.

 

What about jobs?

 

I’ve heard Memphis has better hospitals… do you know anything about that?
