Interesting idea there...
"Hire the re'tahr'd. We'll be dead before we can sue you anyway."
Sounds fine to me!
Maybe someone could wordsmith that just a little for me before we go to market.

Best post so far!!Best place to retire is wherever you want that you like. More to consider than just taxes or medical costs. I think Missouri is like 34th on that list, but I got a great spot on a nice size lake, the perfect sized house for us, a three car garage and a nice pontoon boat. Works for me.
The hassles of searching and cost of relocating to somewhere that offers the exact same thing just to save a few more bucks before I die seems like a waste of what little time I have left....
That looks like my winter dream home!Pants,
Motorhome pulling a big toy hauler. Problem solved.
The wife is already convinced and pushing hard for a toy hauler but I am a couple hundred thousand short for a rig like that.Kevin,
If I could convince my wife to do something like this when we get older, I would do it in a min.
Summers in the Rockies, Fall in the Appalachians, Winters in the Southwest,Gulf, or Carolinas, and Spring pretty much anywhere.
Have a home base that the kids live near is a winner to me.
OK cost of living is MUCH lower than TX. AR's is lower (I just don't thing it's MUCH lower). There's no state tax in TX but the property tax is higher than in OK. I don't know if it's a complete wash since it would depend on your incomewned-shit ratio.
I read Pant's first 5 paragraphs and was thinking AR before he said it. If you can handle living around a higher density of rusted out pickups, rednecks, and barefoot-tube-top-pregnant girls (I'm not stereotyping since I see them all over the place every time I go) then you're good to go. If you're a make-your-own entertainment type, then you're also good to go. Outside of Little Rock and Memphis (neither of which would be my anchor point if retired) external entertainment isn't as plentiful if you discount the old-entertainers-graveyard that is commonly known as Branson.
Fayetteville and Memphis an active blues scene that tempers the country stink.
The problem with that is the part of eastern OK that's nice riding is mostly "Little Dixie" (SE). NE gets you near Tulsa and more congestion (and one of the 2 highest costs of living). Riding (or visiting) Little Dixie can be fine but living there's another thing. Meth is a problem as is abject poverty and the crime that tends to be its companion. Pot farmers still "aggressively" protect their fields and will continue to do so until the state (and Fed) take the wind out of the black market's sails.Eastern OK is nice too. I'd consider that.
