Where to live?

[MalMeansBad]

I'm moving to Savannah, GA next March. Only a 4 and a half hour drive from WDW (I'm in Illinois right now)! I probably will only go once or twice though, because I'll be working on a Master's degree and will be constantly busy

I hadn't even considered it, but I have visited a few times and like the area!!

All of this talk about where someone should live sure makes me miss certain places, and I would love living on the panhandle. That all being said, I think age is a major component of this discussion. If you are 22ish and just finishing your BSN that's entirely different from someone who went back to school or made a career change a bit later in life. We are about as close as one can get to Disney. I love it, but that's partially because I have younger children, who love it.

Part of me has always maintained it's silly to live in FL and not be near the coast. I just can't imagine living more than about 4 or 4.5 hours from a place you think you'll want to visit on a semi-regular basis. As I said in a previous post, though, in a nursing career you can very easily move every couple of years if you wanted until you found where you want to settle down. Heck you might even decide you want to live closer to DL where you can still visit that crazy Mr. Toad.

Which is why we call this area FloGeorgia....

Florgia

I think I would avoid Georgia and go for Florida simply because of the state taxes. Georgia you would be paying 6% in state taxes vs Florida with zero. As long as you don't live in a real expensive house your cost of living in Florida would be much better than Georgia.
