    As far as retiring to Arizona well that secret has been out for years. Arizona, along wit a few other warm weather states, have tax advantages favorable to retirees.

    Tranferring / moving to Tucson, AZ

    I was pleasantly surprised that Federal Pay was only $9,000 dollars a year less than what GS 12 pays in Washington DC. Tucson real estate prices are almost 100% less expensive than Washington DC real estate prices. I have an ongoing job search with USAjobs.gov. If I find a GS-12 job in Tucson it...

All the Full-Time, Federal Government Jobs are for Border Patrol, I am too old, Indian Reservation Medical staff, not my area of expertise, and aircraft engineer positions at Davis Air Force Base.

    Doctor is sending t-cyp Rx directly to a compounding pharmacy - is this normal?

    I have not run into that. I receive 10 ml vials. I started at CVS then switched to Rite Aid. The issue I run into is having to wait. The pharmacy doesn't stock Testosterone Cypionate. Usually takes 3-5 business days after I call in the refill.

    Doctors in MD ?

    Just my 2 cents.... If you are making good money, I consider $125K a year plus good money, have barely adequate health insurance, the clinics discussed here will most likely be your best option. If you have GOOD health insurance, Federal, State, County government employees, very large...

    Doctors in MD ?

    That is a difficult question. Guys with cash will pay out thousands for anti-aging meds. I chose to use my health insurance to cover the costs. I can tell you what I prefer to pay. I prefer my $40 copay for office visit, $10 copay for 10ml vial of testosterone cypionate, $50 for a 10ml vial...

    I inject myself at home. If you want them to inject you I can't imagine they would say no. Not sure though.... I get Testosterone Cypionate, from Rite Aid, Anastrozole, from Rite Aid, & HCG. HCG has to come from a speciality pharmacy or compounding pharmacy. I get my HCG from Wells Pharmacy.

    However, there really are ALOT of millionaires in DC. Seriously. Many multi-million dollar homes are bought and sold regularly. Many $100K German imports on the road. Anti-aging clinics would not exist here if folks were not paying those prices.

    Absolutely appealing! Anti-aging clinics are outrageously expensive. Up to you to 'try" and get reimbursement from insurance. Good luck with that. It took me 2.5 years to find this Doctor.
