I like reading what the retirement experts have done. I particularly like wherever you go, there you are. This has been one of my guidelines in life. Observing some people I know who were unhappy when younger and now are unhappy as retired, reinforces my belief that it's what's inside that determines whether one has quality of life during retirement, no matter how much money one has.

Cannot believe there have been only 3 comments....maybe it's the "Where every you go, there you are." What I know for sure as my husband and I go on our journey into retirement....well his any way since I'm only 50 something. We live in NY...yes LI. I love the town we have lived in for the past 15yrs. it's small friendly,family oriented, close to everything! I never really read any great stuff on Topretirements from actual people who have moved some place exciting. Our daughter live in Venice Fl. which seems to be the hot spot for 2015.....do not get it. I vowed I would never move to FL. I wanted NC for years...have been to Cary...now I would not move there..Southport...Loved but not enough for me. Grenville,SC,Little River, and more. To date I have not found any what I call traditional family neighborhoods. I have Lupus and RA. So.o.o.o.o.o. I can not live were it's 2 Hot,Humid or cold. We are sick of shelving & plowing snow. We love the beach...but can not spend to much time there do to my illness. What we know for sure...Want to live on a lake in a rehab'ed.... lake house,cottage, with lots of friendly couples. We love music..husband is a drummer ,love to Antique,Love good food!!! We do not drink,play golf or tennis. love games indoors or out. walking trails,bike trails and day trips our our thing. So if you or anyone here on Topretirements can help us..I'm ready to go explore some-more.
