I'm shooting for an early retirement, but I will likely stay around this area. Certainly not staying in this house.

I've never much cared for your politics, but I'd really like to buy you a beer someday.Nah, I'm going to move someplace that doesn't currently support my life style, bitch loudly about its inadequacies, demand government services for myself, never tip, and bitch about taxes.
We are planning to own some kind of property in the Caribbean. Probably Aruba or Grand Cayman. I'd probably prefer Grand Cayman because of the diving but it's really expensive there. Not sure if we will move their permanently but will definitely spend months at a time down there.
Or if we stay in the continental US we'd move down to the middle Keys.
Not in Aruba.Don't you have to worry about hurricanes? I feel like living in a place that's safe from natural disasters is important in retirement.
I'm self employed, establishing a up a new business just isn't practical.If you would prefer to retire somewhere else then perhaps you should look into moving there right now. It may be that there are compelling work-related reasons for staying put, but suggest that evaluating your options will be a worthwhile exercise.
This is especially true for anyone thinking about moving overseas to places like New Zealand and Australia. You are much more likely to be accepted if you have needed skills and a significant fraction of your working years still ahead of you. They are understandably less enthusiastic about adding retirees who will only burden their socialized health care systems.
Of course, who knows how policies might change due to COVID19... 😷
Thats what everybody in Minnesota says. "I gotta retire to a better climate!"Just retired. I have family here (MN), so will most likely stay around.
Otherwise, I would definitely move to a state with a better climate, lower cost of living, and more retirement friendly tax policy.
The climate is actually the least significant of the reasons to me (still important though).Thats what everybody in Minnesota says. "I gotta retire to a better climate!"
My dad planned to move to Virginia and be closer to old friends. Unfortunately he passed away before that could happen.
As you get older, this too shall change. You simply wander around looking for something, then it dawns on you that you forgot what you were looking for.Yea. I'm too old to move now. I know where everything is.
So I'm working on this plan, hopefully within a couple months (after a few years of planning). Figured I should move while I'm still relatively young.If you would prefer to retire somewhere else then perhaps you should look into moving there right now.

Probably, but I’ll move from very close to Boston to a less populated area of New England (western MA or New Hampshire). I like it chilly and the rest of the country will probably be a furnace by the time I retire.
