1995xcr600 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Retiring to FLA isn't news; can it be a Current Event? Sure there's more of them this past year, but that can't be a surprise.

Phenom Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Pretty current event for me. I’m selling and getting out of the high rent district and moving up to northern Wisconsin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I could do with Florida's tax rates and winter lake temps. Our water here in AZ gets down to the mid to high 50s in winter which is a bit cool for skiing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate crowds and everywhere I go it’s full of grey hairs. I blame modern medicine on keeping us not only alive, but able to still do stuff that usually stinks up a place… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irv Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 One of my son's professors just retired, and he heard of 2 others that he doesn't know, that just did as well because of the College's/Universities vaccine mandate. I don't know about anyone else but it seems to me an awful lot of smart, educated people are refusing the jabs and choosing to quit/retire instead.

I will just rent one month out of the year,and let someone else deal with up keep and taxes. It so easy to rent now,and pretty reasonable when you take a whole month.

Two in our shop are leaving early because of the covid mess. Their customer base are office buildings that are damn near empty going on two years. Why scratch and claw for a 40 hour pay check,when they can get a pension check deposited into their account. There is a lot more to this bullshit then the jab. We now have customers wanting testing weekly,even if you are vaxed. It’s stupid out there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most were older, 65+, just used covid as a great time to close up shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like 30k people a month move to the Tampa area, and the real estate prices reflect that. I know a guy that bought up a bunch of beach condos around there in 08 when they were cheap. He’s selling them now and doubling his money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our company never shut down. Switched gears and did covid clean up and covid units in hospitals. The covid work dried up completely July 1, the feds stopped the tit money.

My nephew and his wife moved down there and she is selling real estate. She is closing a couple houses a month. Its booming for sure. Northern Florida is pretty nice in the non touristy areas. You cant beat it for the low taxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The governor is really turning that state around. The prices away from the beaches are crazy high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
