I wonder if you could do better than Williamsburg, VA as a winter residence, with an early spring. I don't mean the town itself but that area. I keep looking at it, mild 4-season climate, the Newport News area offering a range of housing options b/c of the military. Beachy life at Virginia Beach. Blacksburg is lovely and cheaper I think, but less interesting as a town to be in. Another possibility is the St Augustine FL area, which is lively and less expensive that E FL further south.
Keep your ties to your home-place if you can. Maybe if you do a trailer and will snowbird, the community you know better is the better of the places to do the trailer option.
Probably been said but I am not reading the whole thread to check...
The question is not where it is how. People retire cheaply everywhere; there are low paying jobs everywhere and many people in them manage to retire in place or nearby. Pick where you want to live and figure out how to make it work, then decide if you had to make any tradeoffs that aren't acceptable to you. You just have to find people in your income bracket willing to share info and able to do so well.

OP, I feel your pain, we are near Lake George. Anywhere is better than here.
Why is that? What's awful about the Lake George area - other than the town of Lake George itself? I ask because this is one area we're considering and there are towns nearby that I liked.
