NBPK402 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 That just took the appeal from me. Well it is Mexico...you do not expect Mexicans? My wife calls it Adult Disneyland because there are always parties, and celebrations almost 365 days a year.

Not the Mexicans. Attach the disney connotation and I get nausea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmilC Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Since you mention retiring I'm assuming you're getting up there in age so you would need to consider hospitals and other healthcare providers that are in close proximity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmi Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I retired a little over a year ago. I live in Michigan. So the first thing a Michigander thinks about upon retiring is moving to FLA, or somewhere else warm. But here is the thing: living in MI, you get 4 distinct seasons. Don't like the weather, wait a week. We are now in a heat wave, mid ninety's all week long. In January I pray for this kind of weather. In July, I can't stand it. Too hot to do anything. Makes me rethink moving to FLA, and having to deal with this with no relief in sight. But it's cold and snowy half the year! So what! If you are retired, you don't have to go out in it. Project time! Spin records, build speakers. Enjoy not having to mow the lawn every 5 days. I guess I'm too used to having different seasons to do different things in. The weather aligns nicely with my ADHD, so I don't have to stay focused on one thing for too long! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to have gas. Well, your kind of gas. Hmmm....still not sure I didn't leave myself open on that one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positives: $300 a year for property taxes electricity is around $50 a month water bill is about $20 for our bottled water about $20 for our city water Full coverage auto insurance on our 2013 van is $600 a year Phone bill for 2 cellphones $50 Cable internet $20 Netflix HD $10 Food is also cheaper if you shop around Bus fare is about 50 cents to go the full run on the bus Garbage pickup twice a week...free You can live off Social Security New Hospital just built 2 years ago New mall being built now, and another new theater Less than 1 hour to Walmart, Costco, Home Depot, HEB, and Best Buy, and a huge maal that has very high end merchandise Nice theater 10 minutes from our house, where movies are a couple of bucks for current movies in USA Theaters Radio Shack is by the theater 2 large grocery stores that are just like in the USA Liverpool which is like a Macys Exellent restaurants for not much money No AC required, no heater required either in our home due to weather of high 80s max usually, and nights gojng down to 40s average We have beautiful weather year round, and the people are very friendly Cons: Importing items is expensive 17%, plus we pay $1 a kilo to have it delivered to us from Texas. Internet sucks depending on where you live...2 block from our house is fiber internet...no idea when we will get it on our street. Gas price is about the same as California You can live as inexpensive as you like or as luxurious as you like here.

oldtimer Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 There is golf there? I'm out. Retirement is supposed to be enjoyable, not to be surrounded by effing golfers. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
