    Gets to damn hot in Florida. My dad lives down there, between the heat and the damn love bugs it sucks. Just my opinion. The wife and I are South Carolina bound within the next 2 years.

    Yes FLA is hot and yes some idiot let some love bugs out at UF...but...from Oct 1 thru April 1...near perfect with a couple of chilly days !!! FLA holds as much as anyone would want to see and go, from the Theme Parks, to beaches, caves, forests and hunting and fishing till you get tired..Please stop banging FLA...your state, if someone were so inclined could find things equaling non appealing ... just sayin

    You don't have to shovel heat.

    Tired of listening to the wife bitch about the winter year after year. After this one, I am agreeing with her. So, took a trip to Myrtle Beach last month...thats not the place for me. Lived in Sumter SC some years back and that not the place either. Been to FL but not a big fan (ok to visit but have not found a place there that I really like). So, I booked a week in TN later this summer between Knoxville and Nashville and gonna check that out. From what I understand, the taxes are reasonable and its close enough to the mountains for me. We will see.....

    Not sure about TN...but find a state that doesn't tax your military pension.

    I had looked into that....
    States with No Income Tax

    At the top of the list are the nine states that have no state income tax at all. By default, military retirement pay is completely exempt from tax. These states are:

    Alaska
    Florida
    Nevada
    New Hampshire
    South Dakota
    Tennessee
    Texas
    Washington
    Wyoming

    Note: New Hampshire and Tennessee both tax interest and dividends. For most taxpayers, however, this would constitute a relatively small portion of total income.
