Kentucky or Tennessee?

======

Steve, I lived in Tn for several years before moving to Ky. The fishing
is compliable in both states...I don't hunt. Kentucky does have a state
income tax, but they don't tax retirement or social security. I just
bought a home here in Calvert City, a foreclosure. Nice home with a
pool, on almost an acre....$69,900. The property taxes are about $550 a
year. Jobs are scarce, unless you are in the medical field, or have a
speciality that is in demand in the area.

Western Kentucky or middle Tennessee would be my choice....mild climate
in the winter for the most part, but a bit humid in the summer
months....spring and fall are wonderful!

The cost of living is probably a bit cheaper in Kentucky....housing,
utilities, services, and entertainment. Tennessee probably has more to
offer in the way of culture, and bigger city conveniences.

For me, it is a coin flip. The job thing is probably what should be your
primary priority I would think.

Good luck.

P.S., if you need any detailed info later, let me know via e-mail.
