Midwestern states are a good move. Or if you wanna go the easy route just head to Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

textaz03 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 What ever you do D82, don’t come north to Jersey!! It’s even worse than Maryland. We call it the California of the East Coast. God I miss home and living in Texas! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to live in coastal urban regions (L.A., B.A.) you might need a full million for a 2 bedroom fixer upper. OTOH if you like hills/mountains you can find the same thing east of Sacramento for $150,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you guys know, one of my houses is out there. Tampa, FL is a really great option as well. Mellow beach community, low cost of living, no state tax, great weather. It’s tough to beat, especially if you like seafood and fishing. It’s awesome in that respect. Or, if you don’t mind dealing with rednecks, the beach cities in Florida’s panhandle are great, too. Destin is beautiful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The term “expensive” is relative. I’m originally from Los Angeles, so Destin is less expensive when compared to L.A., but much more expensive when compared to Dallas.

I also need to figure out where in Texas I'd want to move. I don't want to live in a big city...but at least 30-45 min away from one so that way I at least have more to do on my downtime. I live in a city of about 20,000...so something similar to that I could handle mail wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D82 Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 Started back in May at 255 lbs, heaviest I've probably ever been. Down to 175 almost a year later. This job has its ups and downs, but man...best shape I've been in since I was probably 19. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty rural up in Melissa, which is about 40 miles north of Dallas. My house is in McKinney, which is about 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was working for my handler friend, we went to shows near College Station/Navasota. I liked the area around there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
