Where are you moving when you retire?

My ex moved to Chincoteague and I have never seen him happier.

We’re early retired but not going anywhere. We have a second home that we spend a good amount of time at and we travel quite a bit on top of that, but our kids all have stayed in the DMV and we’re fine here.

Many people we know have moved away for retirement, after selling their DC area homes and buying something cheaper somewhere else. We don’t have to do that because we have money.

Reno. Very beautiful and we love Tahoe.

West Virginia. We have a weekend home there but it will become our retirement home.

Absolutely abysmal healthcare. We have a home there and will never retire there for that reason.

Scottsdale, Arizona. I wish I had bought earlier. Prices are high.

Is there much near there? Just curious

We have kept our northern home because our children all live close and we have a winter home. It’s ideal but expensive. If our kids were all over the country I’m not sure what we’d do. Neither of our two homes is ideal for the full year.

Okay, but what’s the health care situation like there?

DP but we plan to end up near U of Pikeville and the medical center there (KY). We have family there so it doesn’t seem as foreign as it does to other DCUMers.

For those of you talking about moving to a foreign country to retire, do a lot of countries let you just immigrate there at retirement age? Do you have to independently wealthy or something?

Absolutely a red state. Much lower taxes and less tolerance of ghetto crap. Bye-bye, Montgomery County!

You must be white and rich.
