[QUOTE="Wheel Gun, post: 2478943, member: 19286"] Back to the original topic: We've decided to retire here. We're not natives, but have been here since '95. About three years ago, the missus and I started doing some retirement planning. We'd always assumed that we would retire in a pretty place on some coast. I favored Corpus Christi. She favored the Carolinas. So, we started travelling and visiting and researching pretty coastal locations. Ultimately, we decided to stay right here. We could have afforded those places, but a much larger percentage of our savings and planned budget would have gone to housing. So, after kicking around ideas, we decided to retire in Oklahoma and maintain a healthy travel budget. When we want to visit a prettier place, we can afford to do so. We can live like kings here instead of living like paupers in a pretty place. So, we sold our big home in Edmond and downsized to a nice home in S.E. Logan county. Here, I can retire sooner, travel more and live more comfortably. Besides, people here are nice and people at the coasts tend to be snotty. [/QUOTE]
