- What I discovered here was that the TN Valley has damn near perfect weather. Protected by the Smoky Mtns on the right and the Cumberland Plateau on the left, adverse weather seldom enters the valley.
- I discovered that the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) built this incredible system of lakes that we now can use FREE OF CHARGE for recreational purposes. There are two lakes on either side of where we live about 10 miles from the house.
- I also discovered that East TN has a cheaper cost of living (15-21%) than most other places in the USA. 7% of that is because we do not have a state income tax.
What I left behind in the North Carolina Piedmont...
- a state income tax
- higher property values
- more traffic congestion
- higher cost of living
- more crime
- better high schools
- more restaurants
- longer waiting lines
- highly competitive job market
- houses built close together
Because my wife and I have no debt, we can live comfortably on $3,000 a month in East TN which is about the same amount of our SOCIAL SECURITY CHECKS...
- We are 40 minutes from the University of TN Medical Center.
- We are 50 minutes from McGhee-Tyson airport.
- We are 60 minutes away from Oak Ridge National Laboratories
- We are 60 minutes away from Asheville, NC
- We are three hours from Nashville.
- We are 90 minutes from Bristol Motor Speedway (NASCAR)
- We are 45-60 minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains, Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg.
- We are 90 minutes away from Cherokee Gambling Casino
- We are 4 hours away from Atlanta
- The Cherokee Indian Nation is currently breaking ground for one of the biggest resorts in the area to be built beside Buc-ee's, just 30 minutes away.
PLEASE DON'T COME TO EAST TENNESSEE AND SPOIL ALL OF THIS FOR US....
