Where to retire to.....decisions, decisions.

[ws23jrt]

snakeoil24 has the right idea...retire in California, be homeless there and live better than everyone else.

Agree--critters tend to end up where feeding is easy. Bees, mosquitoes, and flys come to mind. They find the flowers the blood and the **** wherever it is.
Everyone finds their place by either picking the easy fruit or working to farm the fruit they want.

Well lucky me ! I only have to move 90 miles west, Out of the listed locations Nebraska & Kansas sound the best to me.
Not near the high pressure rat race we have here

I could deal nicely with South Jersey but the real estate tax's are to high. Maybe any other place close to the ocean

Don't bother with FL. It's one big game of bumper cars down here!
But there is a bonus in the normal areas most every one has a gun and non of these criminals are stupid enough to bother with us ! The gun problems happen mostly in the blue areas !

Just don't move here. We're good the way we are.

Came from there don't plan on moving back.

 

[mopar 3 B]

I plan on staying right here

The sun sits in the wrong direction at your ocean.

Yeah you left out New England....... But maybe that's a perfect place....

One thing for sure, it's gonna be inside the USA's 48 continuous. Not going off-shore no matter how cheap it is. No way. No how. Great healthcare, AAA, cell service, and paramedics in 3-7 minutes at my door.

or maybe West Virginia where:
hotdogs have chili on them
shoes are optional
alright is spelled aight
did you eat yet is geet yet
you can get a property damage permit to shoot deer, boar and bear any time of year
a fishing trip means walking down to the creek or river
All kidding aside, it's pretty cool here!

I visited a couple buddies that retired to Southern Utah
outside the St George area, it's really nice, nice climate for most the year
temperate weather, not all too hot or cold, a little snow occasionally,
lots of golf, lots of outdoor activities, lots of open space,
lots of off-road potential, 2800ft altitude, conservative politics,
not overly populated, not too many Negative Nancy "detractors",
low crime, only some 80k or so & 150k population in the whole metro area,
has a decent car culture too, with decent housing price ranges,
especially on the outskirts of town or the golf communities,
some great & friendly people...

Real-estate is decent, for what RC pays in Mass.
he could build & own a mansion or 2 in St. George...

I don't need no mansion. A modest 2,000 square foot home with an attached 2 car garage & 40' X 80' garage will do nicely.

OK I kind of knew that...
Your real-estate $$$'s will go much farther,
so you could build/buy a really nice 2000 sqft place
& invest the rest into the 40' x 80' garage or shop
or buy, fix up & then sell more B-body Mopars,
or collect more 2nd gen Chargers, even Hemi's

I've got just the place for you near the Poconos!
5 acres
2200 sq ft
2 car attached garage
30 x 32 shop
Deer, bear, turkeys, I might even work in the mower.
No elevator - bummer, lots of stairs.

Oddly enough, a lot of folks are retiring outside the US; many in Mexico.
