As somebody who has spent his entire adult life renting apartments/condos I'd hoped to buy a small house to live in for the rest of my now geezoidal life. That's now impossible for us anywhere near NYC even though we now have a fair amount of money (money/investments, no pension worth mentioning and minimum SS). Yes, we could move to another more affordable state, but some people - including us - consider the political/social situations in MANY states to be a prohibitive factor.I'd no sooner move to a state like Texas or Wisconsin (just as examples) than gouge my eyes out. I'm sure some "conservative" inmates would not wanna live in liberal states like NJ/NY/CA. Being an inter-racial couple factors into it for us also. We're not sure where the hell we'll end up but staying in the NYC metro area for the rest of our lives is not feasible.
We'll eventually find a place/state/area that's a decent fit for us - Europe is a possibility for us too - but I don't view moving to be as easy/simple as some people seem to think it is.
