I do like where I live ...

So when I hear things about New England and it's history and culture and people, I tend to pay attention.

Just recently, the peeps over at GoFundMe declared we New Englanders to be the most generous:

We occupy the top three positions on their per capita donations rankings, and four out of the top five, and six of the top ten.

Despite this love of where I'm from, my wife and I are discussing where we want to live the rest of our lives.

It's not a decision to be made immediately. I'm currently enrolled in another degree program so I couldn't move immediately anyway. And she has a successful accounting practice here.

But long term ... It's this where we want to call home? It's an open discussion.

Do you love where you live?

Would you ever pick up and move?

What would motivate such a decision?

Is climate a good enough reason?

@dale74 Funny you should say that. We are discussing now where we want to live and taxes are part of the conversation (how could it not be with an accountant for a spouse).

As much as I HATE to admit it, Florida is part of the conversation.

Personally I think that what we would save on taxes and cost of living we would lose in culture.

@sarabee1995 Florida has a lot of culture also there's a whole lot of museums plus since you retired it would give you the opportunity to travel to other places and see their culture as well without all the added taxes from the state
