Retire to the Florida - the Sunshine State!
No More Snow
Are you one of the thousands who, in the late summer and early fall months, start dreaming of leaving the brutal cold and retiring to Florida, the Sunshine State? We envision (and dread) the icicles hanging from the car bumper, the snow piled along the walks, the biting winds, the dangerous roadways … and we dream.
We dream of basking beside the pool in the warm sunshine, of green grass swaying palms, open roads, and unconfining clothes, BUT, that’s usually all we do. … sometimes because we don’t have answers, sometimes just because there is no concrete destination in mind, and sometimes because we’re convinced we can’t afford it.
Well, it just so happens that we don’t have to be a captive of winter! An even bigger surprise may be that we CAN afford that dream. Ocala, Florida has, for several years, been listed by Money Magazine as one of the best places to retire. It is affordable, it is friendly, and, in addition to its local gems, it is a day trip away from most of the rich experiences Florida has to offer.
