Not sure what to say that hasn't been already said, but if nothing else NM tends to have cheaper rents than Texas and trans rights are now protected in our constitution.

It isn't the best option I know, but it is spmething.

I can work with this because I've already been shopping very carefully in preparation.

With its sunny beaches and friendly tax code, Florida is the best state to retire in, according to an annual study. But if you’re looking for a lower cost of living and don’t mind all four seasons, you can find excellent alternatives in these other states. nyti.ms/4hAFsL1

A chart titled "The Best and Worst States For Retirement." Florida, Minnesota, Colorado, Wyoming and South Dakota are the top five and Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Washington and New Mexico are the bottom five.
