Thanks for the tip. I picked a company that would give us a Texas address, because I'm not ready to give up my Texas "citizenship" yet. It seems to be a pretty good state for retirement domicile, but I like Florida, too. One of the nice things about Texas, besides no income tax, is that your retirement accounts have more protection from creditors than some states, and annuities, too, I think, although I don't have one. Florida may have similar protections.
I have arrived in my wife's home country and we are giving that a try for now, but wherever I go I will always be Dallas Steve because after all, that's where I was born.
Regards, Steve
