Minnesota. The beauty of the state, the quality of life, cost of living and acces to health care are draws that outweigh the couple of months of cold. Most of the year ranges from nice to gorgeous. Many think of it as a frozen tundra and that is just not true. . |

I am a disabled veteran on a fixed income. I now and have lived in Upstate NY for a little over 13 yrs. I have degenerative spine disease so I just cannot handle the cold winters(especially last yr.- that was the hardest so far). I want to move to Naples, Florida. They have an outpatient clinic to handle my health needs and a VA Medical Ctr. in Tampa for seeing my specialists. I've been down there twice; once at Christmas time and once in July. I would need A/C. Any advice from fellow vets or retirees or anyone would be truly appreciated! I am also looking for some new friends. Possibly connecting with a woman who wants to relocate also. I was in a relationship about 3 yrs. ago in which I thought she was the right woman for me, but she cheated and after an 8mth. bout of depression I'm back to my old positive self again. I am a 53yr old SWM, very straight forward and honest and if the Lord would just put the right woman in my path I would treat her like a queen. Sometimes I'll have a drink on special occasions. I don't do drugs, but I am a smoker. Oh, by the way, I am a little on the shy side until a few dates and then I open up. I am spiritual by nature and basically nature is my religion now. I really would appreciate friends and any advice on getting information about buying a house in the Naples area. Please help? |

In Response to Re: Which state would you most like to live in during retirement?: Arizona....the weather is fantastic and multitudes of scenery ...from forests north and east .....hot desert south and the best weather in the middle of the state ...can drive 1 hr to the snow and 1 hr to the warm winter weather in Phoenix.... Prescott is the place to be .... Posted by akweidler Sounds great to me! I don't think I will take you up on the drive to the snow! Wife and I are planning on coming out next winter. What would be the best time during the winter to come out and what towns or area's would you recomend we visit to get a feel if we would like it out there? Thanks! |

In Response to Re: Which state would you most like to live in during retirement?: Pennsylvania - all our family is here and we get the change of the seasons. Posted by Dan86 Delaware, because we currenly live in NY and the taxes and prices are just driving everybody out of the State. One of the drawing points to me are the beaches and no sales taxes on most purchases. However, I see a lot of planned communities there that are very appealing where the houses are bought but the lots are rented. As far as I know where there is no rent control. One drawback to living down there is I don't know how good the parttime employment is for people in their 60's who are too young to fully retire. Does anyone have any suggestions? |

Any state other than Maryland. Our idiotic governor wants to apply sales tax to gasoline as if gas isnt high enough without it. Our state would tax your dream if it could. I think I'd like to be in the Carolinas maybe. A bit further south and still have a slight change in seasons. |
