Locations to Retire

1. Georgia

1.1. Weather - Similar to Tennessee and Georgia; humidity, bugs, but beautiful and centrally located to everything I want to be near

1.2. Education - Oldest wants to attend University of Georgia, great STEM program!

1.3. Cost of Living - I will be able to live off of my retirement check and not have to work!

2. Tennessee

2.1. Weather - Seasonal changes, humidity, bugs, can I really handle it?

2.2. Military Paycheck Tax Exempt - They don't tax military retirement checks and disability is already tax free

2.3. Cost of Living - Cheaper than other states to live, stretch retirement check out so I won't have to work if I choose not to

2.4. Education - Decent, kids can still go to school and get a good education

3. Florida

3.1. Weather - humidity stinks, but if living on the coast (Atlantic or Gulf Coast side) breeze will come through to semi cool the temperature

3.2. Traffic - With many retirees or snowbirds coming from the North, can I handle bumper to bumper traffic in the city?

3.3. Cost of Living - Fairly higher the closer I live near a city, I will more than likely need to get another job

3.4. Taxes - No state taxes!!
