[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 3507164, member: 24583"] I lived in Tulsa city most of my life and decided to move to the country several years ago. Yes a lot to think about. You want trees and rolling hills or flatland? Close to a lake or river? Then if you get too remote utilities can be a problem to work around with particularly water or have a well dug and all the stuff that goes with that and natural gas may not be available so you might be on propane or total electric. The best internet I can get is 25GB/mo max of cellphone connection at 4MB speed for $90/mo. You may have to be picky about what cell phone service will work where you are. Closest loaf of bread is 6 miles, closest real grocery store is 12 miles, and real shopping is 35 miles. I have a few skunks, opossums, and armadillo and coyotes around at times, but I could shoot deer off my front porch with a 45 if I wanted. haha Saying all that, I love it here, partly because I am 2 minutes from by boat dock to get on the lake frequently in the summer, no neighbors within sight, and no one looking at my attire going in and out of my hot tub in the evenings with my fire ring in the back yard. It does have its advantages of being peaceful, but also a few drawbacks to living in or very close to the city to go out to eat frequently. Do your research well and enjoy thinking and planning on your retirement. [/QUOTE]
