I’m on a two year assignment in OKC and we are really enjoying it. Quality of life is much higher, but staying here permanently would result in a pay cut and have retirement implications.
Other options we are considering are South suburbs of Atlanta. Bit of a pay raise but back to the grind.
Suburbs of north Houston. Big pay raise, but housing is reasonable comparatively.
Fort Worth. Moderate pay raise but like the other options I’ll be back to working all the time.
Longmont, CO. We really loved our Colorado trip in October. Winters there worry me as I hate cold weather. Maybe I’d just embrace it with access to winter activities.
