Tennessee has no income tax either. No state inspection on vehicles, either.

Really ? Now that I think of it, we did see some interesting vehicles when we drove thru Tennessee.

Interesting how ? About to fall apart or barely pieced together .I see some really junky ones here that I wonder how they pass emissions or move under their own power .

I was trying to say it nicely. :) I don't know how some of those cars even make it down the road.

So we have friends that have been looking at houses, knowing what grumpy and I are looking for. One of our friends found this one in South Carolina.

If this house were in Michigan, it would be a lot more than the asking price in SC.

Westminster, SC is right across the GA/SC border...I've got a Camaro buddy that lives there...been there many times.
Nice area.

South Carolina is another place I would consider living but the humidity would probably be about the same as here and Tennessee but would be closer to our friends who are Silver Travis Band .

That's a really good question. It would be hard to pick a place to move to when you have roots where you are.
I've been looking for property to buy locally but most are over priced and taxed heavy. I plan on retiring in five years so maybe an out of state location would be better.....Hmmmm

Garyb, I have a son in Texas, a daughter in Las Vegas, and a daughter in New York. And I may be one of 6 kids, but I am only really close to my brother Eric who live here. The only reason we have stayed in Michigan this long is because of my mother. But, and her is a big but, my mother has said that she may be ready for a warmer climate. It may sound funny, but my mom gets along really well with hubby.
