Texas is a good place to live. It isn’t, however, someplace that is cheap to retire to unless you’ve got a schit load. And seriously, if you are coming from Wisconsin, you really need to experience a complete summer from Little Rock south before you move. Seriously. I’m not kidding. Even for those of us born and raised here, there are two to three months of the year where you pretty much only feel like moving from one air conditioned spot to another. And as you get older, it gets worse and worse.
It’s not so much the heat. Lots of places get hot. It’s the length of it. Day after day of high 90s or hotter with high humidity. You can laugh and discount it, but you damn well wish you hadn’t sold everything and moved into it after a couple of summer of it.
