If you have VGLI, you are probably familiar with the option to have premiums automatically deducted from military retired pay.

I've been enrolled in this type of VGLI allotment for a long time. The allotment suddenly disappeared from my September 2026 RAS. I did not make any changes with DFAS or the VGLI servicer (Prudential).

I work from home and could do it from anywhere, but we'd prefer to stay in the continental U.S. - somewhere with either mild winters or mild summers.  

Wife is SAHM.  My annual gross income is $240,000, but it would probably go down a little in a smaller market, probably not lower than $200k. 

3 kids, but multigenerational household (mom age 75 lives with us now that my dad has passed away). So we really need 4 bedrooms, preferably 5. 

Owe about $800k on the mortgage.  No other debts.  Comps selling in our neighborhood for about $1.2 million. Feeling squeezed out and don't see ourselves here long term. 

Can't afford to buy a 5 bed anywhere in Orange County anymore.  Suggestions on where to look outside of California?

Other factors: prior military, so I'd consider veterans benefits at the state level (college tuition discounts for kids, property tax breaks, etc) to be a favorable factor.

I've seen some "Reformation Sunday" sermons before, talking about specific reformers. But I don't think I've seen one about the Westminster Confession of Faith as a whole.

Note: in some cities, the freeway forms part of the city limit, for example in southeast Yorba Linda, where the city limit goes right down the middle of the 91 freeway.

PS - definitely not going to use Service Champions lol
