I was born and raised in northern Ky ,I had plans to move to someplace warmer post retirement. And was looking at the south east area. But the humidity made me look elsewhere


BUT, life has a habit of making decision for you. Some factors in our life made me start thinking about it sooner, more so than later. So ,,,we moved to southern AZ the summer of 2018 BEFORE retirement ( which happens the end of this year. )

For me it came down to I was tired of cold, dark depressing winters.

I dont hunt or fish so neither were a factor for one state over another. My wife's sister has lived here since the late 90s and factored us to look here instead.
For me I wanted to be able to see new places and explore a completely different part of the country, being able play with my cars year round is a bonus

I have zero regrets.
