[TheWriterTX]

Come to Texas. I escaped the Rotten Apple in 1996. It's beautiful down here. Salaries are on par with the rest of the country, but the cost of living and no state income tax make your dollars stretch a lot farther.

It wasn't easy; I was leaving everyone I knew, my family, my friends, all those familiar places from my youth. Looking back, it was the BEST decision my husband and I made.

Escape...while you still can!

I just applied for a job in SC. I will be working my way toward TX in the next few days. I used to live in El Paso, aka Ft Bliss. I loved the area. That was a long time ago. Not sure what it is like now.

I don’t know what is east of El Paso.
