The 10 Best Places to Retire in Texas 2021 - Nowhere Diary 

I retired in Austin in 2016. It's extremely expensive, the traffic is horrendous and, if you have allergies, forget it!

It's amazing to see AMC doing well after all the doomsday analyses from naysayers. The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient - warren buffet. It's good to remind people of this right now; you buy on fear and sell on greed or just hold through it all for the long term. It’s easy but lots of people forget.

El Paso is in West Texas, like Big Bend. But El Paso is nowhere close to being the entrance to Big Bend. It's over 200 miles away!

Viewer beware! Read the comments below from people who live in the cities mentioned in this video. Corpus Christi is not the biggest city in Texas and every Texas resident pays federal income tax. the narrator also referred to several cities and neighborhoods where he said cost of living is very reasonable, some of those neighborhoods and cities have the highest cost of living in Texas. Texas is a beautiful and happy place to live but don't base your decisions on where to live on this video. explore it for yourself.

San Angelo Texas! Awesome medical facilities small town! We are a retirement community but excellent university and community college! Fishing and historic sites! I wouldn’t live anywhere else!

San Antonio is the only city in the US named after a person? Houston and Austin would be surprised to hear that one 🤣 So would every other city in the US that begins with San ______, every city named Lincoln, Columbus, OH, Saint Augustine, FL, Lafayette, LA and probably thousands of other cities in the US.

Well with factual reporting like this, I can understand why the subscriber count is so low. Spewing "facts" like Texas is the largest state and that Corpus Christi is the largest city in Texas eludes to the possibility that this person is a millenial and a product of the modern education system. Might want to do a little fact checking on your next video. I will help start you off. Alaska is the largest state in the US. Texas is the largest state in the continuous 48. Also known as the lower 48. Refering to States in regard to 48. Corpus Christi is no where close to being the largest city in Texas. In fact it is # 7 behind Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin and El Paso.

Beaumont and Killeen? Really? I went back to check the date on the video because Killeen was quite nice ......in the 60's. I went to grade school there. Beaumont is particularly lovely during an evacuation during hurricane season. Heat, humidity and mosquitos. It rains all the time which means you're mowing 2X a week. Many of these areas no longer affordable. San Antonio in particular, even in the year since this was made has escalated beyond affordability. Home prices and property taxes out of control. Difficult for infrastructure to keep up with growth, so traffic nightmarish. Assessed value of our home for tax purposes went up over 20% in one year. Continuing rate of increase not sustainable on a fixed income in retirement. I know people in these videos use different criteria/metrics for their assessments, but this one isn't even in the ballpark. Do some research.

We are doing our own research I'm retiring soon and live in Texas. I will be taking road trips prior to retirement ‼️‼️

Beaumont is my hometown. As far as I know, there are no wineries here.

After living in Texas for 40 years I moved to Delaware. Texas taxes are too high starting with the sales tax that can reach 10% in some locations and high property taxes if you want to live in a desirable area. If you want to live near the water, be ready to spend a lot of money for Texas windstorm insurance on top of homeowner's and flood insurance. Hospital care once again depends on where you live. I lived in Texas for 40 years and watched go down hill in the last 20 years. I moved to Delaware where the taxes and insurance are much lower and I now have money in my pocket.

I agree with A. Thomas Dillon, get your facts straight! Living less than 10 miles from The Woodlands, I would not say you get more for your money there; it’s the opposite. Also, El Paso is over 300 miles and 4 hours from Big Bend; hardly the gateway. Last time I looked that was Alpine, Tx and it’s still almost 90 miles away. I hope people don’t move to Texas based on this kind of information. Do your own research folks. I’m a native Texan working on my eighth decade and people would laugh at me if I described Beaumont as wine country. Texans are known to “stretch the truth” sometimes, but this video rewrote the truth. BTW, Houston is the largest city in Texas and Alaska is the largest state in the US.

They lost me at Killeen. (Also listed on another video somewhere as one of the worst towns in Texas to move to. So, can't be both) Having lived in Killeen for over 20 years, it went from what was said here to a horrific ghetto when I left 3 years ago. Shame they removed the dislike button.

Great positive video. Nice work

You said SUPPER not dinner!!!!! Love it!!!

Corpus cristi and San Antonio are cool towns really gives off a different vibe but I would like to know from a anyone where is the most forested and mountainous areas in texas?

If this is about retirement, why state the unemployment rate and job market on every city?

What wineries in Beaumont? I live ten miles from Beaumont and I never heard of this. Can u please tell me where the vineyards and wineries are?

BEAUMONT is in “the wine country”????? Give.Me. A. BREAK!! I am in the wine business-AND I live in TX and this is BS

This video is inaccurate on several occasions. Killeen is not anyplace I would want to live, and Corpus Christi is no where near the largest city in the State.

God bless you

Texans pay no state income tax (unless you count the franchise tax). It would be news to the US government if Texans paid no federal or corporate income taxes.

Moskitos all over in Texas Harlingen Brownsville Texas

San Antonio is the only city in America named after a person? Austin, Houston, cleburne, Denton, Sherman…are rolling in their graves right now 😂😂😂😭😭⚰️⚰️💯

Bad or good, in Texas or North Korea, the clock is ticking the same .... tac tac tac tac, the great journey is approaching!🍒🍒🍒

Beware of property taxes in Texas. You'll be taken to the cleaners. Yes ... you won't pay a state income tax, but the property tax is excessive to the point of being punitive, especially in counties such as Travis, Harris, Dallas, and El Paso. Add in local sales taxes, and you are far worse off than you would be in most Western States and Arkansas. After my wife retires end of Feb 2023, we are getting the Hell out of Texas for a more tax-friendly state (e.g., New Mexico, Colorado, or Arkansas).

How is El Paso, And it’s medical facilities? Anyone?

In other words. All of the largest cities and the suburbs.

Man, he forgot to talk about property taxes being very high and Texas is not the largest state in the USA it's Alaska !!

do you need to speak Spanish since most of the Texas population is Latin?

Gossip in alive in texss

Kerrville.

Texas is the SECOND largest state in the USA!

Dallas is not a place for retirement people. My family lives in a retirement area about an hour east of Dallas. Austin is a terrible place because the police department is pretty much a sitting duck during a violent crime.

You forgot Texarkana

Dude. Longest intro everrrr Video starts@ 2:30

How about you giving a old man a job GEORGE W. you know I will work ,or do you know any one that will give me a job.P.W.

Brownsville is nice besides the lies and hate from people who discriminate they can it's true

Ok, so they say cost of living was a major factor then list Dallas!? Also, Texas is NOT the LARGEST state in the U.S., that honor belongs to ALASKA which is almost THREE TIMES the size of the state of Texas.... this was obviously made for and / or by a travel agency or a Texas chamber of commerce agency....

There's not a state in the US that doesn't pay federal income tax. Texas doesn't pay state income tax, but does pay sales tax and ever rising property taxes. And Texas is the second largest state. It is the largest in the lower 48. Too many mistakes to mention.

Um.... Texas isn't the largest state in the US.... Alaska is.

El Paso and Brownsville are NOT safe cities. It’s right the opposite. Crime is terrible. I love San Antonio to visit. Beaumont crime is terrible. If you live on the west side of Beaumont it’s better and safer. You are 100 percent wrong about wine country being near Beaumont. I can tell you have no idea about these places. Oh my…I can’t believe you actually said Corpus Christi was Texas largest city. YOU really need to do your research. The Woodlands is nice. You were right about that.

houston was named after a person too, goofy!

They lie in Texas and kick you out for no reason hate factor

Lots of drugs and the ripp off u can be ripped off small deals

Oklahoma DHS corrupt

Sorry but you can forget about Austin.All the people that moved here from California ruined that city.They brought their homeless and politics with them.That’s the last place I would move to.

This person does not know Texas at all.

There is another RU-vid video highlighting cities that will drown due to climate change and Houston is mentioned there . So you don't want to retire there only to start packing when the water levels rise. Austin is too expensive to be a retirement hub,so is San Antonio. The list is not correct.

I’m from Texas and always thought I would return home for retirement. No longer. The politics are repulsive.

FYI, Corpus Christi is NOT "Texas's largest city" ... far from it. Who researches/writes this nonsense?

I dunno where this channel got their info from. But, absolutely nobody wants to move their families to El Paso or Brownsville... El Paso is the border crossing into Juarez, Mexico and nowhere close to Big Bend!! Nobody want's to go into Juarez. Brownsville is better, but not great... San Antonio is pretty okay. It's beautiful country all around it. Beaumont is actually really nice! Killeen is just situated around Ft. Hood. Not exactly great!! If it wasn't for Ft. Hood, it wouldn't be that "mid-sized" city... Houston is just Houston. It's humid, super sticky, and traffic is some of the worst in the state. Corpus Christi is awesome! But the water is muddy half the year and is definitely NOT the largest city in Texas. Pretty good seafood though!! The Woodlands is just an over-expensive place to live outside of Houston. You'll pay for it, for sure!!! Dallas/Ft. Worth is cool. But there's no GREAT OUTDOORS there. Not if you want to drive about an hour to an hour and a half outside of DFW "proper". Austin is cool, but it's not like it used to be 10-15 years ago. Austin's housing rate has grown exponentially over the last 5 years. Good luck finding a place to live there under 300k. Good luck to you and this channel. I almost, never give a dislike on a video on YT, but this one deserves it. Watch other videos and do more research if you're planning on moving here. This video is full of BS.

Alaska is the largest state.

Uh, no. El Paso, Beaumont and Brownsville are terrible!! Dallas and Austin are filth ridden holes!! Killeen? Really??!! How about a list from a native Texas who has seen the whole state! 10 San Antonio- has everything you need, great culture! 9 Fort Worth---not Dallas, where the west begins! Visit the Stockyards! 8 Abilene-- Small city feel, good people, close to large cities 7 Texarkana-- small city on the move! 6 Midland-- growing city (while oil is doing well) great area for football!! 5 San Angelo - hill county, gateway to Big Bend 4 Galveston -- very historic, good food, Gulf!!! 3 Amarillo -- good all around city, Route 66! 2 Lubbock-- best food in the state, Texas Tech, incredible healthcare, growing quickly, underrated city 1 Corpus Christi-- Good size city, Mustang Island!!

This video is trying to put positive spin in living and retiring in Texas. Of COURSE there's a LOT of minuses to counter the pluses. Enjoy the video and be PROUD to be a Texan.

If you start spewing a bunch of garbage at the beginning and don't get to the point of the title and video, you're wasting time and get a TD.

So much misinformation in this video.

Texas some people talk a lot of crap.

Who paid this guy? Some bad locations, next to the border. Ha?

Don't know where you get your information but you are way off the mark.

"Tell me you are not from Texas without telling me you are not from Texas" is the whole theme of this video. The information in this video is terrible and/or totally incorrect. FYI if you are interested in moving to Texas DO NOT listen to this video.

This video is full of misinformation.
