Hi Michael: I can relate to your unhappiness being in Illinois...as I live in New Jersey. Property taxes here go up every year, and are costly. I have 3 states I have been checking out: Florida, Maine, and possibly NC (although I lived in NC many years, moved back to NJ, for 8 years, but really don't want to stay. There isn't much here anymore besides our beaches. So many businesses shut down (our fave ones), diners no longer open 24/7, and not much opportunity for alternative living (NJ is anti-tiny home), I'd miss the snow though! That's about it!

That's really inspiring to hear that you can look back on your life and appreciate the decisions you've made. We visited Florida for over 15 years before we made our decision to make it our home. Both my wife and I always made sure we weren't wearing our "vacation goggles" when making a decision when we visited, we usually rented a house for a couple of weeks and imagined living there. We would cook meals at "home", watch our favorite TV shows at night (boring, huh?), have coffee on the lanai in the morning and watch a sunrise, then maybe end the day sitting on a beach and watching the sun set into the Gulf of Mexico, that's paradise. We were both aware of the age old Florida moniker, "it's for the newly wed and the nearly dead", friends and family up north were trying to discourage us with the "it's all old people" line. Well, the last time I looked in the mirror, it wasn't a kid looking back at me. We knew, from our many years visiting, yes, a lot of older people, but there's a new vitality to them, lots things to do and the beautiful weather to do them in and many many of those old people (including us) take full advantage.

I found a job when I moved here and I am now a retired 66 year old. I love the warm weather and blue skies!!

Not trying to be super negative, but wish I had grown up in Florida to be honest. Grateful for a good childhood in Indiana. Great state, and great people live here. But there wasn't a whole lot to do for me, myself. While it's growing, still not a ton to do in Indiana. In contract, Florida has so many landmarks to explore, not to mention all the amusement parks and beaches to visit. The weather allows you to do things outside year round. I'm a person who likes to go out and explore. Of course I love the relaxation lifestyle; which apart from working, is what I'll be doing once I move down there. Of course it isn't perfect. Humidity is high, bugs and alligators are worse than other states, and it can be pricey to live there in some areas. But it's a price to pay for living in paradise.

Only reason I’m still in the cold grey Pittsburgh is because of a good paying job. At this point retiring in three years in my 50’s. Will be in the greater Tampa area in 2024

@@MichaelBordenaro you are correct, three years will mean 1,000 + more per month coming in. Early retirement with ample funds will allow for comfortable living and doing the things I want to do. It has taken sacrifices to get to this point.

Yep that is true. In fact I talked about that in my last walking tour. You’re allowed to park your boat offshore and anchor there for free in most cases
