After living in Florida for 44 years being a snow bird is the way to go. Best of both worlds.
I have friends that are snow birds and weather wise and economically it makes sense to them. Finances for retirees is very attractive.
Yes in the summer the weather sucks, Yes the politics suck. Other than that, for me it works out just dandy.
Palm Beach, Broward and parts of Miami Dade are blue.
