Well I have a horrible nerve condition (called Trigeminal Neuralgia) so I have to find a place that works with me.

PO2 Katie Benson I hope you find it. What type of environment works best for the condition - do you know?

Top reasons: Cost of Living, no income tax, good to vets, access to health care both military and VA facilities close by.

LCDR (Join to see) - Lucky guy - maybe one of these days I'll be riding my Harley down in that area and can swing by to see it. You never know!

No picture but some place warm on the beach. I was wounded as a police officer so I'm pretty much retired now but still work as a css for wounded warrior project for at least a few more years

If you want to work in the city and commute in and out, the outer suburbs of New Orleans. LA Place, Kenner, West Bank or the Gonzales. Most State of the art VA in the country, totally rebuilt a few years after Katrina, into a major Hospital Complex. Hi paying jobs for any Veterans.

I am where I have to be. I owned a 2000 sq.ft. 4 bedroom house and a den with two living rooms,a nice walk in closet,a huge master bedroom with a two person bathtub and shower.All on a half acre.Lost it all because it was pay the mortgage or pay for chemo.My insurance company didn't pay for certain chemo treatments.I won the battle in the fight against cancer but lost my home I had for eight years.

Hua Hin, Thailand (though wouldn't mind Chiang Mai, Thailand either). I lived there for a decade and usually spend my summers in Thailand. Both are nice areas of Thailand.

I live in Southwest Washington state. Came up from California because of the seasons also no gangs, and high taxes. I live in a small but growing town of Battle Ground. There are no state income taxes here and no sales taxes in Oregon which is about a thirty minute drive, soI make money here shop for big items in Oregon without having to put up with the protests etc associated with Portland. Property is going up a bit again but you can still get homes on five acres for a reasonable amount, especially when compared to California.

I live in Washington State North of Seattle. As far as services go we have military facilities within a reasonable distance with JBLM, Naval Station Everett, etc. Home prices in Western Washington are astronomical and rising, along with property taxes. There is no income tax, but recently enacted legislation has put automobile license renewal fees in the 3 most populated counties around Puget Sound at well over twice the cost of last year. For those who are Second Amendment enthusiasts, the current legislative session has several restrictive, almost draconian, proposed laws. It is pretty expensive to live here, but it truly is a beautiful place.
