[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. I have relatives from DC who retired to FL, but found that they hated it and moved back. But I'm not sure why you would quit your job. Especially a remote job that would allow you to leave, where a service job will be difficult to relocate. [/quote] I don't plan to quit my remote job. I also have a 1099 side hustle. If I chose to stay here long-term, I would not feel comfortable in my retirement not working. Service businesses here seem to be doing very well. My dog groomer charged $60 for a cut on a 12 pound dog using clippers, not even scissors. For locals, the pay is very low. A gym was built right across the street from my apartment and it is loud booming music from 5 am to 10 pm. I pay over $2K a month in rent. When my lease is up, I am trying to find a more established neighborhood, but that is difficult to find here. I love the palm trees and subtropical weather. I miss older tree lined neighborhoods and the seasons. I am currently weighing my options of moving or staying. Any ideas on how to look at the pros and cons of living here, since I am already 54. I can soon be in a 55+ community here. I like Central Florida because it doesn't feel like a retirement community. [/quote]
