So far this is our plan, too.

It’s many years away because I’m still in my late 30s. But I’ve thought about southern central PA. York, Harrisburg, Lancaster. It’s more affordable but they still have a lot of stuff to do and they don’t feel too rural. I’ve also thought about western MD. Weather issues in both areas are my only concerns because I don’t think my husband and I will want to be shoveling large amounts of snow as 70+ year old retirees.

We’re staying here. Health care is good and we have a wonderful network of friends. We’ll travel a lot but the DC area is home.

Colorado in the summer/FL in the winter

Appalachia is a great place to retire. Land/homes are so cheap

Same. Any nearby beach towns you would choose?

I mean, I love Rehoboth as I used to go there as a kid with my family. More recently, we have spent time in the tidewater area as my parents got a little condo on the Bay in Norfolk. Either of those might work, but I haven’t done a ton of research. We’ve got a couple more decades at least!

Colorado.

This sounds amazing and would be my dream retirement!

Wherever my child is.

Will stay in DMV near friends.

Might change this based on where kids move and if I/we need assisted care at some point.

It’s expensive here but starting over with making all new friends is a lot to handle.

Nowhere. We like our home and life here.

Maybe Durham NC area?
