What state should I move to?

South Florida, any-place is what you make of it but here you can do well . Soon, the snow will be burying everybody up north. The summer seems to be the time to re-locate and it depends on what you are looking for:
Girls...got them
Music Scene, yes.
Partying ? Wish I was still young................In any case good luck to you wherever you end up...............:cool:

Stay out of Indiana unless you need to hide. Few jobs, Political culture wars, reducing govt. services and a reactionary populace makes it hard to get established in anyplace but Indy. However, if you're a consultant, there's a good market here. And it is 'cheap' to live here.

Come on over to New England. Weather-wise it's probably the best place to live in the USA, the economy only sucks (instead of being a disaster like elsewhere), we got skiing and snowboarding like you wouldn't believe, and the people are decent and friendly. You just have to get used to the "pahk the cahr in Hahvahd Yahd" accent! ;)

I left podunk nowhere Illinois (nowhere near Chicago) and moved to Central Florida. I love it here, but if you want snow, you have to catch a plane. Through the years, however, I've been to lots of places. I always thought it would be cool to live in Wyoming or Idaho.

Is that a term you learned on Live Journal?

I'm sorry, but I actually have no idea what that is.. Is that where you're at when you're not on here?

There's always Pittsburgh, it's either number 6 or 7 in the country's top ten most affordable places to live list (according to our local news) Plenty of places to board in the winter including 7 Springs which is supposedly one of the better ski resorts in the country and not to mention the best sports teams in the world, the Steelers and the Penguins at least (Pirates :o)

Hee hee. Nice bit of info there! I'll most definitely do some research on Pittsburgh. Sounds nice. :)

In Texas - our economy is not a disaster - jobs are plentiful here - taxes are low - cars don't rust - people are decent - but it's TOO DA*N HOT, so trying to recommend it now is, well. hard to do! Of course, while everyone else suffers from 9 months of winter, we enjoy very seasonable temps aside from Summer.

I live in Cali, and what they have said above is true, however, the cost of living cannot be overstated. Gas, taxes, registration, competition for decent housing and jobs is steep, the cost of food. It's all bad. Crime sucks, the school system blows and is grossly over crowded and under funded with teachers that are pushed to the breaking point (regrettably).
The only thing that keeps me here is my daughter ( I'm divorced - so she shares time between my house and her mothers ).

Colcifer I have read many good things about the Dakotas. Vermont would probably get my nod if I ever go. I love the Fall, and Fall there would be breath taking.

Pittsburgh has improved greatly from its early industrial/manufacturing roots to a more cultured, scenic, and inviting lifescape. Having spent many years in dreary Erie, the mistake by the lake (90 minutes north), and frequenting Pittsburgh, I concur that it's a good place to be.
