I finally got out of CT in April. Took me a while to sell the house but made it to Greenville, SC. Its still early in the process but I couldn't be happier with the people, the fantastic downtown area, the outdoor/fishing opportunities in the Blue Ridge area, and the taxes and cost of living are dramatically lower. As Jeremiah said "Life is about finding those places where most of life is good for you. But, you will never find it unless you try." We researched a lot of areas and settled on Greenville. I have lived all over the south in my younger days and I knew for me, when retiring, I was going back. We miss our friends and family, but are making new friends every day and will get to spend more time fishing and golfing and doing what we like.
