I'll let cheap buffets and the VSiN guy's top plays, try to close the gap a lil.
Maybe have to live on a budget..do Olympic Gardens instead of Spearmint Rhino.

I don’t think anyone moving to Florida for retirement is moving to central Florida
You would be VERY wrong.
Pro tip: when referring to any large group of people, use of the superlative phrase "I don't think anyone..." is likely to be an incorrect statement.
But specifically, there are tens of thousands of retirees in central Florida.

People from the northeast look at Florida as some paradise that they can't wait to get to someday. It's truly comical.

Friend's of our moved to southern coast of Fl. I couldn't take that amount of heat for that long. It's like being in another country too. I've heard the Villages is nice and has a high rate of STD's. So there's that.

The Villages, duh

I visited a friend in The Villages in March. The rate of expansion there is crazy. Lots of snowbirds buying second homes.

Its not cold that's why. I can't stand for it to be under 40.

I hate anything above about 83-85 degrees. I should have moved to the PNW when I was younger.

No state income tax, extremely low property taxes, no shoveling snow, lots to do for old people.
I thought Florida sucked when I lived there and got the hell out when I turned 18 but after living in shitholes like Kansas and Missouri I see why people retire there.

Debtor’s paradise
In Florida the contents of one's personal residence were exempt from any and all collection efforts in a personal bankruptcy.
The notoriety from the media coverage of a multi millionaire keeping several million in assets from the debtors he stiffed led to some overhauls in the bankruptcy laws in FL. Still a lot looser than most other states though.

I think Florida would have been a great place to retire 30 or 4o years ago.. the problem now is that, due to man-made climate change (sorry not sorry, not veering into politics since science has nothing to do with politics) now it’s just way too damn hot for most of the year.. i’m only in my 40s but the heat has gotten so bad, in FL and elsewhere, that it will be detrimental to human life in a few decades, if not sooner.
Also, FL is beginning to see problems that have plagued Mexico and the Caribbean for the last few years in the form of toxic algae blooms (red tide) and sargassum seaweed that have made a lot of the world’s most beautiful beaches totally unusable due to smelly brown clumps of toxic brown material just offshore.. if you dont believe me, then just Google sargassum and whatever beach (Tulum, Grand Cayman, Belize, etc)

Most are yankees who don't want to deal with snow anymore.

My friend’s parents moved down to Del Boca Vista in Florida. He visited down there a couple times, was nice except for the uncomfortable sofa bed. He even got a cool astronaut pen that writes upside down from one of their friends down there.

Warm weather and taxes I'd imagine. My grandmother (RIP) would keep her thermostat on 80 and wear sweaters.

People like you that are so self centered that you actually think man can change the Earth's climate in 100 years is truly shocking and sad. 100 years is a about a 1/4 of a grain of sand out of every beach in Florida. Yet you think man is this powerful.....
The climate may and WILL be changing as it always has and will......stop believing something Al fricking Gore and AOC are selling. Please for the love of God.
