I'm sure the OP won't be leaving Texas unless it's in the southwest. No way is it north of the panhandle ..... This from comments thru other post and threads over the months.
Now back to Texas boosting as cheapest best state. But the OP knows all this.
Ya I think your right DavePa.I think Arizona and New Mexico are the states i have the best shot at leaving Texas for.
Well California or Colorado are a lot less likely for me to live in than Arizona and New Mexico.I am thinking of leaving because Arizona and New Mexico have always intrigued me.
I'm not really sure what they would have that you can't get in Texas. Change is good, but I wouldn't move from Dallas to OKC and expect any value there.

Good point.I dont know....I guess i want to move because New Mexico has always appealed to me and part of me wants to experience life outside of Texas for a short time.I want to live in New Mexico even more cuz I came close to living there a few years ago.Maybe it would better to just vacation in Arizona and New Mexico instead of living there.
When you go above about $250K- $300K, it starts becoming a factor to live in a no state income tax state. While it's true that states have to get their money somehow, states with no state income tax can make a real difference to high income earners and states with low or no property taxes for seniors can make a difference in retirement.
I didn't even consider the no state income tax when I moved to Washington state but I noticed the difference immediately in my checks and as my income rose, I wouldn't consider leaving unless I went to another no state income state. Now that I retired last month, my options are open.
Thats true....we will just have to see if i ever get that to that income level,Tall Traveler.It just depends on how oil goes for me.

Grass is not always greener.....but seems like you have the means, make a bigger move, for one year. If you hate it, which is likely, move back.
If it weren't for the heat, I'd live in the Phoenix area for sure.
If you are in the oil bidness, there is no better place to be for the foreseeable future than right smack dab in the middle of the Permian. If you stay there and get rich then you can go anywhere you want and live.
The OP should consider moving to Houston to be smack dab in the middle of the Energy Industry.
