Oh Good Lord, Thank You!!

I was going to move to Florida like all the rest of the yankee northeast coastal elderly but it’s gotten as expensive as New Jersey… just incredible! my son and family moved there for work several years ago but there not happy (for many reasons). So bottom line I have a goal to move somewhere that’s not so expensive.. my short list is:

Delaware
Georgia
Tennessee

up for suggestions… I like Chattanooga,
savannah, I don’t know. I’m not big city oriented… worked in NYC for 30 years and not a fan. Would prefer to buy a few acres in the country where I can put up a garden, raise chickens and a horse or two for the wife and grandchildren… oh and have the dog run comparatively free.

Congratulations Brother.


Tyler Texas.

I recently bought 10 acres there for $89k.

It's beautiful and Conservative.

Yes....but now whatcha gonna do?
Well… we sold our house of 30+ years:
Closing is the end of January.
We’re moving to a retirement community in northern Chester County, Pennsylvania surrounded by Amish farmland.


I’ve been whittling down my book collection preparing to move.
I’ve packed up what’s left last weekend….24 heavy boxes.

Welcome to the club! I retired a few years ago and now wonder how I ever had time for a job!

Here's a cool meme for your retirement.

I get it. Shuffleboard and rocking chairs :Wink

I never unbacked my books when I moved. I should have whittled them down.

You're a smart man.

Does that mean you will have to sell your car and get a horse and buggy?... Don't forget your Kerosene lamp... Brother Glen;):Biggrin

Congratulations, come to Western Australia, and bring all your family and 2nd Amendment conservative values with you.
If we only had a million Americans move here, it would tip the balance for the whole country.
Free healthcare, medications fully and partially subsidised, Mediterranean climate, all the seafood you can eat.

I heard Australia took away your guns.
