Where are you moving when you retire?

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

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

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.

For earlier retirement,
Colorado November-March
Cape Cod April - October

For later we’d likely just stay in once if those spots or move to be closer to one of the kids, but that’s quite a ways off.

Not much, just the way he likes it, after 40 years in hectic DCUM country . Fishing and cycling and his new wife, who I introduced him to. Also their 2 dogs and 4 cats. They are very, very happy.

I've thought about Reno. We have friends there, and we used to have a house in North Tahoe. I don't know if I can deal with the winters there, though, and how dry it is.

So far this is our plan, too.

Np, Me three!

Who wants to live basically in winter for 9 months a year. Who is going to shovel your snow?

9 months of winter in southern Maine? Twenty years from now? Winter isn’t even that harsh anymore now, poster.

Are people factoring in changing weather patterns and sea level rise in making long term retirement plans?


Ten years ago I was determined that I would retire to Ecuador for the low cost of living, excellent weather and relative peace. Now all hell is breaking loose there. But maybe in 20 years it will be nice again!
