We want to retire to a small mountain town on $18,000 a year — where should we go? MarketWatch 2 hrs ago Help us pick a great location! I’m 54 and my husband is 62. We hate heat, humidity, crowds and beaches. We love small mountain towns, privacy, colder weather. We are very conservative Christians. He loves to deer hunt. I love to trail walk. We would like to have a vegetable garden. Our income will be about $1,500 a month including rent. We don’t spend money but look to nature as our entertainment. We get up early and go to bed early, so we enjoy beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We love cats and dogs, reading and being alone together.
