My wife and I recently paid off our debts and anticipate starting our FIRE life in 4 years just before our son starts school. We currently live in the northeast and are tired of snow. I have a work contract that continues for 4 more years and should provide us the remainder of the money needed to hit our FI number. We are hoping to hear from others on locations that meet the following criteria:
No Snow
Low crime
Average or better cost of living. Currently we are in a high cost area so even average will be a savings
Good school and community
Walkable and bikeable
Easy access to outdoor activities like fishing and boating
Within an hour of an ice hockey arena(this is my off ball one but as a mustachian i want to optimize without giving up ice hockey)
Any help would be appreciated. Has anyone else made a move like this? Are others researching the same thing? We have been thinking about the Houston area but would prefer smaller town to big city.
