The winters in MO are worse. Spent the first 19 years of my life in northwest Mo and the last 25 in CO. MO's weather is worse all the way around. Hottest temp ever recorded in Denver, 105. Average about 2 days per year over 100. Winter you get snow in some places but it melts off, unlike MO where it falls in December and stays until April.

Don't get me started on bugs and humidity.

Growing up in the military - then serving 22 years myself, I have lived in nearly every country. Wife and I try to get back to Scotland every other year or so. LOVE it there.
Although I was born in England (Lancashire) I could never live anywhere near London. Nope - ain't gonna happen. I was stationed in Germany during the 70s and I actually loved it. I speak fairly fluent German (Thanks Grandad!) so I had no trouble assimilating quickly. I thought seriously about retiring from the Army and remaining in Heidelberg - but I decided to come back home. Lived in nearly every state in the Union and we just finished out second home in Wyoming - but Kansas remains our "home town". |

I'd need about 4 places and the money to maintain them all. Marin County, Ca. for summer, Key West for winter, and a split between the KC area and the south of France for fall and spring.

I've been doing a locational analysis of retirement locations, taking into account taxes, housing costs, and cost of living. If folks are interested, I'll post the results. I just finished it this week and looked at 80+ locations (nearly all in the USA, mostly in the west but with some other places like Florida.
Tax structure makes a big difference in retirement, depending on how you get your income. |

My wife and I both grew up in San Diego; perfect thru high school, but would never retire there. If I could afford it, somewhere in the Bavarian Alps. I'm fairly fluent in German, people there are awesome, as are food, hefeweizen, and scenery. But not an option. Current job keeps me here in Kansas, but we're considering western South Dakota or Wyoming once I retire. Low humidity, not brutally cold in winter, beautiful scenery, and great tax situation. |

If its domestic, I'm staying in rural KS. unzoned property, relatively cheap acreage, I can basically do whatever I want. I don't have the mountains or the ocean, but simply being able to build or do whatever I want easily offsets that.
If I'm moving internationally, I would try for Ascension Island. I looked into a few years back when going through my divorce. Its very remote, relatively unheard of, and stable. |

I'm basically too old to move now but if I could I would love to live in Ireland. Second choice would be Australia. My main worry is what happens to my retirement payments if I move out of country? If I moved stateside it would be Georgia (to be closer to my son - not sure he'd be thrilled or Texas. Also it would have to be rural, not big city. I'm a redneck all the way.

I went to Easter Island for my 50th birthday, and I think I could live there. It's a small population, but with the tourist economy there were good restaurants, and the island is beautiful. There were some big roaches, but maybe you get used to those. It's such a small island, as is Ascension, that I don't know if it would eventually make me feel boxed in, though. You can't do much of a road trip in those places. |

I moved from Missouri to NC about ten years ago and that was easily the best decision I’ve ever made. On so many different levels...
