Anything would be an improvement to my home state of West Virginia. We came in last place. Honestly though, I have to question their statistics.

"West Virginia residents feel the most miserable in the country."

Oh Boy, just the other day my wife said how happy she was to be here. Sure am not looking forward to her seeing this thread and finding out she is not happy. Guess that we will just have to go out to dinner tonight and easy her pain.

Default 2nd worst

In Kentucky we used to say, "thank god for Mississippi" . Well now the saying is, "thank god for West Virginia"

Default It's my fault

I paid the evaluaters to give Florida a bad rating to keep everyone away from looking at TV until we can get there!!!!

I moved from the Northeast to Florida 40 years ago and I've got to tell you--I almost can't stand the misery!!! Only hope that I can experience another 40 years of this terrible state?? As other posters have mentioned, maybe it will help keep some of the wannabes away. Some of these indexes and reports are a real joke.

I just can't keep quiet - Florida is a terrible place to live and especially The Villages. I would much rather be in the Twin Cities or Charleston or even Minot, ND. In fact I'm thinking about moving to one of those areas <pause> (I'm done thinking) Don't make a mistake and move to The Villages - you'll hate it.

Default Huh?

North Dakota is one of the happiest states and yet I recently read yet another top (or bottom) ten that listed several counties in North and South Dakota as the poorest in the country???

Guess they were not interviewing on the reservation.

Can't wait to join the misery in TV.

Like ANY large, heavily populated state, Fl has a lot of good things as well as a lot of not so good things.

I think people would be happier living in the cold northeast, where they tax you to death, where a second job pays to heat your house in the winter, and a third job will pay to cool your house in the summer. And don't forget about the school taxes that are equal to the total property taxes in The Villages. I guess I'll just be a gluton for punishment living in The Villages.
