We find the cost of living significantly less in Az, less bugs, less humid.
Feel free to private message me if any questions.

to make it clear - do you mean cost of living less than TV or less than wherever you retired from?
For us, since we have adult children and so far, 2 grandchildren who are in Ohio, NC and Orlando, Florida was pretty much the only place we considered - too expensive for them to fly in and out to Arizona and too far to consider driving. Also easier for use to drive back and forth, fly back and forth, etc.
If we had chosen Arizona wouldn't see our kids nearly as often. I also can't deal with the climate (gardening is my passion here), can't see myself doing the desert thing.
