My power and water combined haven't been over 150 yet. Keep it on 76 during the day and 72 at night but we've had a very mild summer here.

I haven't even opened mine. It's been sitting in the Jeep for a week. I'm afraid to.

I keep my shit on 74 all the time and it was still that high, although most days here in July were hitting high 90's and Aug seems like it will be the same.

I wish it got to be 90 here. It will be in the -10 range shortly.

I can't wait to go to Biloxi, MS for school in the winter. Will be a nice break from the sub zero temperatures.

When I was stationed at Elmendorf AFB, AK I absolutely loved the winters. It was cold, but the lack of wind made it tolerable. It is so damn windy here that it makes the cold so much more miserable. The wife and I are on the same page that if her parents weren't here we would be gone in a heartbeat. I see myself retiring from the military in 10 years on the east Texas coast somewhere.

I learned to love winter up there. I need to find a place with warm summers and snow in the winter.

Having only 2 months when either the A/C or heater is not running sucks.

I could turn the heater off all winter, the wife, not so much. Was nice the other day when we got overnight lows in the 50's.

I'm really thinking I will retire somewhere in the middle of the country. I want a place that.

Has both ducks and geese
Can chase deer
Long summer with a winter that produces snow.
Cheap land
Not many people.

What states match those criteria?

Ha! Good luck! We have crop land going for over $6000/acre, granted that isn't what you are probably looking for, but shit is expensive out here. The rest we've got covered. Hopefully by the time you retire shit will have stabilized.

Once out of the cornbelt, that can drop to $1500.

Yes
a good insulation job in the crawl space (if you have one) would help, but probably wouldn't break even on a rental
