So I don’t like hot humid overcrowded beaches full of disrespectful people playing loud crappy fiesta music and don’t like spending two hours sitting down to eat food that will be floating down the east river tomorrow.

If I am grumpy, it’s probably because I cannot stand this state, most of the people here, the taxes ($14k for the crappy town I live in), traffic, getting pinched by a big black woman in a parking lot because I wasn’t wearing a mask. Yeah, grumpy for a reason. Nothing to do with age though. But I can get a good bagel and that makes it all better.

You’ll hear crappy fiesta music pretty much anywhere these days. If you move to the sticks you’ll hear something even worse, banjo music

Yes! We were out there in 1987 and '88. My husband once saw him at the Hog's Breath on a Sunday evening sitting at the end of the bar doing paperwork.

Nice! Sounds like a great plan!
Heading north here. Because nobody retires up north, lol. NH Zero income tax, zero sales tax. Especially helpful when withdrawing from IRA’s (Zero state income tax) Especially since that’s where most of my retirement income will come from.

Sitting in a condo (don’t have to worry about shoveling) with views of the Lakes, mountains, moose/wildlife, fireplace going, I’m good! LOL

Again, early retirement! Otherwise work here until age 65, NO THANKS! No brainer!
Good Luck!
