sure you can get a lot of house down there but a truck cost the same a gallon of gas isn't much cheaper a gallon of milk cost the same . some taxes are less but its still about wages
Beer is cheaper, dining out is cheaper, property taxes are waaaaaay cheaper. Vehicles last longer because they don’t rot out from all the salt on the roads in winter. Spring starts in February vs June up here

Yep, I could sell my house in mass, buy a bigger house in NC and put about $100k in the bank to help supplement my retirement.

Yep, the wife and I have been down a few times since our daughter is down there in school. Everything we’ve seen we’ve liked. Last time we spent a couple of days in the Asheville area. Beautiful out there.

Hey, you suggested a BBQ joint in Greensboro to me (going down in July), I lost the note I made, can you remind me the name of the place?

I gather you like BBQ as I do. I live in central CT, there is a national BBQ chain (60 or so locations) called Mission BBQ, they do a lot for military, police, and FD in their areas. One is opening near my house in a few weeks. At all their locations, at noon, everyone stops what they're doing and sings the Star Spangled Banner, pretty cool. Hear the food is pretty good too.
