Having lived in NC and visiting AZ and contemplating moving there, I can offer a few things:
AZ is most gun friendly state in the US. NC requires permit to even touch a gun in your local gun store.
AZ dry heat. NC humid as heck. Just imagine your worst sticky summer in Indiana and multiply it by every day during the summer for NC
AZ....wide open spaces and freedom. NC.....east coast mentality and the only open spaces are the ones where they've cut down trees to build something.

Have you seen the stars in Arizona?! INCREDIBLE! Dry air plus elevation make for some of the best stargazing you can have. As a bonus, you get topography/geography so different from Indiana.
Not to mention, that if you have hair (not a problem for me) the Carolina humidity will curl it like a Christmas bow!

WOW thanks to all. Didn't think I would get this much response.
Indiana has been OK but it's changed so much. It really shocked me when I came back. Good paying jobs have all moved out. Brain Drain is unreal, we keep loosing young people to the southern states. My son has already told me he's gone when college is over. Now 41st in per capa income. I remember when we were in the top 30%.
At any rate this is gonna be a really tough decision. It looks like most here prefer the Carolinas. I lived in the East before and really didn't care for it. The desert really does it for me so I gotta convinence the wife. Would just like to get out of here before next winter....

I moved from Texas to Indiana when I retired, because here's where both our families live. I don't see your view of Indiana's economy as being a bad factor for a retiree. You can live somewhere where the per capita income is high, like NYC or California, but you can't afford to buy property. I've been to Arizona. The southern half of Arizona has really hot summers, where you won't want to go outside for a few months and do anything. Like someone else said, a lot of former Californians are making the move east and taking their liberal views with them. My last comment is the old saw, "Happy wife; happy life!" One thing to consider is as you age, you will want to live close to good medical facilities and convenient shopping. You might think that you would like to live way out in an isolated part of the country and not be bothered, but as the years take their toll, you will want convenience over privacy. If I had a choice, I'd probably take what's behind curtain #3...The Villages - Florida's Friendliest Retirement Hometown - New Home Sales, Home Resales, Build Your Dream Home, Brownwood Paddock Square
