Escape to Tennessee
Escape to Tennessee is a practical book that helps you think through the real-world pros and cons of retiring in Tennessee, especially if you’re deciding whether to move or you’ve already moved and want a clearer plan.
Andrew wrote it from direct experience—moving from California to Tennessee and helping people plan retirement decisions—so the goal isn’t just “information,” it’s helping you make a confident decision and avoid surprises later.
Inside, you’ll walk through the biggest benefits (like taxes and cost of living), the downsides to be aware of (like health care access and infrastructure issues), and practical steps you can take if Tennessee is the right fit.
