I live in the Indianapolis area and due to COPD I've been forced to retire early .. still alive and well and full of energy though .. I would like to move someplace convenient to the midwest but still southern enough to lose a lot of the snow and ice .. would have to be economical (fixed income), close to a larger city for its nitelife and "family" activities. I'll be renting and prefer staying out of major apartment complexes. Any suggestions?

Tennessee is beautiful, sales tax is higher than Indiana, we moved here sevral years ago and love it. There is no state tax, average year round temp is 55 degrees. We live on the Cumberland Plateau. Property taxes are 1/3 of what they were in Indiana. People are friendly...however if you want to be closer to nite life, you would probably want to look at Cookville area which is off of the Plateau, and Temps will be a little higher in the summer off of the mountain.
If you enjoy nature and hiking, beautiful bluffs, canyons and state parks it is a beautiful area. I don't know what your income is but the closer you are to the city the more you will pay for rent.
We love it here.

Well, I just moved from the Midwest to Mississippi (yes, I get asked why due to Katrina). No snow, ice, etc... the weather is very temperate year-round, the Gulf Coast is actually a great place to move if you buy a house, can get a decent house from around $60,000 up to $200,000 depending on area. There are smaller apartments and houses for rent but the catch is that it's honestly cheaper to buy- the difference can be $550 for house payment and up to $1000 to rent. Just an idea for you.

You could try branson missouri, or the surrounding area. The average income level there is only 29k a year, so the cost of living isnt incredibly high. Its an up and coming area, so there are many nice new apartments.
The winters are mild and shorter, and you're still within 10 hours of where you are now.
Might be worth at least visiting. Its a very busy, family friendly place.

wow both those solutions are poor. there is plenty to do in Indiana. if you're saying there is not any longer something to do your both a boring or lazy man or woman are to narrow minded to get out and do something. Heck Dyer Indiana has Lake Michigan that's in person-friendly words 10 minutes north for summertime. i'd advise googling events in Northwest Indiana to get you a strong commence obiviously counting on your flavor somethings will interest you better than others.

Move to The Villages in Lake County, Florida. Weather is beautiful. Hurricanes don't do any damage heare. not coastal. The villages is a retirment community. and up. everyone rides around on golf carts instead of cars (saves on gas) Town has movie theater for half price of reg theaters all kinds of interest groups. Very green and cooler temps then the big city's like orlando. Hospital is close and jd power awarded yrs in row.

How about my home town- houston! Huge city, one of the lowest cost of living in the country, easy access to the midwest via train, air, or car. Its not as crowded or polluted as people make it sound. It can actually be quite charming
