Ok.
After fretting and struggling to save money for years to get out of Texas, I finally have a workable plan.

I will be moving to Tacoma, Washington next May or June.

I'd been thinking Portland, but Washington has no state income tax (which is also true of Texas, and I didn't look forward to that additional expense). And Tacoma is slightly cheaper than Portland.

My sister lives in the Seattle area, and is buying a home on the outskirts of Tacoma, too. It'll be good to be close to her.
