If You Could Live Anywhere, Where Would You Live?
Imagine you could buy a house….with everything you wanted. Where would you live? What city? Close to a racing venue? In the country?
I'm almost 40 and have never gotten to live where I want to live.
My choice is Hot Springs, AR.

If I could live within walking distance of Del Mar in San Diego perhaps I would kiss the ground every day.

Las Vegas.
In three years, when my son goes away to college, I am selling everything and moving to the gambling capital of the world. It's the only place where an old, forgotten gambler wouldn't feel alone.
Poker in the morning...horses in the afternoon...and sports betting in the evening. That's what I call a "balanced life".

I can't wait to get the hell out of Vegas and go back to the Pacific Northwest where they have these things called...trees.

I already love where I live in the Pacific Northwest, but if I could venture out anywhere in the world, it would be Spain. I don't know where exactly, but probably near the coast. At one time, I thought it would be great to live in Mexico (Cabo), but it has gotten much more expensive and much less safe. Although I am just 48 right now, I still think about my retirement. One big factor that will keep me in the U.S. is that Medicare is not portable. That would be a real game changer.
I have also considered Las Vegas. It would be a big adjustment getting used to the heat, but knowing that Thaskalos will be there is a huge drawing card (no pun intended) for me

work with money
reasonable taxes/fees/regulations
warm weather, and mild to warm winters
So Cal or Vegas don't sound bad at first thought. Sure there are lots of others.
I can deal with NY in the late spring-early fall.

I am lucky to currently live in a real nice area so I am not planning on moving away anytime soon.
But, if I could live my life over again, I'd like to live over a deli!
