    If u could move anywhere, Florida would be pretty low on the list.

    Me? If language wasn’t an issue I would move to Finland.

    But in the English speaking world, I think some rural Vermont or alternatively some rural New Zealand would be a fine place to seek peaceful days and nights.

      Yeah - home on a big wooded lot in a rural neighborhood would be ideal for me.

        We were looking at New Brunswick which is both beautiful and affordable, but the freaking winters would be tough.

        I was only joking

          Yes I would like to live in a place like in the old Newhart show where he owned a bed and breakfast. Also a different country or Hawaii are options.

            The people I know who retired to Florida also kept a place on Cape Cod to escape to for the summer.

            The problem with The Cape is there's absolutely nothing to do unless you like boats and shit.

                There's some pretty scary looking fish.

                I think in Florida you're a lot more likely to get killed by some bloke with a mullet and a drink problem than you are by a snake.

                  Much of Florida has an infrastructure that supplies what retired seniors need and want.

                  Lots of golf, cheap booze, warm weather, other retired people and of course lots of medical care.

                  Vermont has country roads that are buried in snow for half the year. It is nice enough in summer but that is only June, July and August.

                  New Zealand is so far left politically I think it would be tough to swallow.

                  The cape has baseball and lots of Red Sox fans, the traffic in summer is terrible. Most of the beaches are private. In Falmouth you can wait in line for an hour to get a parking spot to get access to the public beach.

                      I have been looking at Disney prices recently.

                      These days a Disney vacation might be worth more than a Super bowl win.

                        @Horace come to Thailand.

                        Get a nice place on the beach. You can live like a "king" for probably USD $3000/month or less.

                            Looks like my remote work situation will be permanent. Where do you think I should move to? Texas or Florida look nice.

                              nothing specific yet. She's been looking in Houston, randomly.

                                Try Minnesota. It’s what I did.

                                Of course you could do the US Virgin Islands, maybe Ireland. Anywhere!

                                    You want to live in Minnesoooooota. 89th is loving it here. Don't live in the metro area though, go for a smaller city. You'll have the amenities, lower cost of living, and a quieter setting overall. If you want to spend time in the Twin Cities, it's not a long drive.

                                      Another reason to live in Minnesoooooota is easy access to Mayo. Your hand and leg will thank you. 😊 okay, your whole body will appreciate having great care close by. Let's hope you don't need it, but your track record indicates the possibility of future medical needs.

                                      Locals here get access to Mayo before people from outside the area. 👍

                                        And you like big dogs, so it would be easy to have the dogsled you will need to get around in Minnesooota.

                                          If you like really cold weather, and being dragged around by dogs, maybe think about Siberia?

                                          It's currently very affordable.
