Well, Nick, you convinced us. First with the video on Greenville. We checked out Upstate South Carolina and our offer on a house was accepted for a home in Greer, near Greenville and Spartanburg. It's funny how making the decision on a place for retirement was the hardest one of all. It came down to Tennessee or SC. We had specific requirements as I am also a pilot with a small plane and we want to keep flying for as long as I am able to. Airpark homes are more difficult to find and more expensive. We have previously rented a hangar but in the current market none are available and probably won't be for years. Tennessee is definitely more tax friendly, with no income tax, and no tax on retirement income. I will pay more tax in SC while I continue to work part time, but very minimal tax in full retirement. Property taxes are low in both states. There seems to be much more sound fiscal policy with excellent public-private collaboration on issues such as homelessness as well. I'm a Northerner, and my primary worry is cockroaches! Here's hoping upstate is better than the lowlands in that regard. Additionally, we found out that there are opportunities there to help with real solutions for homelessness (for those who want to change their lives), which my wife and I want to be involved in. Also, we work in medical missions in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, and we will be closer for our flights there. Overall, a win-win. You have amazing content and we will keep watching your channel. We have also joined your Patreon. Keep up the good work.

James Island looks gorgeous. Thank you I learn so much and see the real US which is what I want to see.
