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. |

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! |

I think you have done zero research on the political situation in Arizona. It has been a Republican stronghold since the 1950s with only two presidential elections going blue, and in 2020 it was a squeaker for Biden - with the specter of Trump x2 and the pandemic, it was not a typical election. GOP has a stranglehold and has purged the members of its party who defended the election - talk to Rusty Bowers. It’s risky to expect you’ll be living in a more blue than red state if you move to Arizona. |

| We are also planning to move to Arizona. We have vacationed there half a dozen times and my DH used to live there (medical school). Biking, camping, daily swimming, hiking. With good weather like that we hope to never sit around watching TV. |

Manhattan. And I will be able to afford it.
No car, best health car, amazing theater, I could go on and on. |

| My best friend (60) just retired in Montreal. She is glowing and her husband (59) loves the jazz scene. They were both life-long New Yorkers. |

We dream of Whatcom county, out toward Baker. (Deming, maybe?) How did you choose the Skagit Valley? |

+100 I don't think most of you realize how uninhabitable most of these places will be in 20 years. Arizona will be like the surface of the sun. Florida will be underwater. FWIW the most climate change proof city in America is Duluth, where I have family. Great Lakes region will be paradise. |
