退休怎么过，完全是个人因素所决定去哪里，没有哪里就一定比哪里好！最适合自己就是最好的地方！个人选择：喜欢四季分明，（冬天必须能看到下雪又不太冷）喜欢安静、湖泊、山溪、森林、喜欢走山道，喜欢骑车，DC边上的Rock Creek, 森林公园边上住着，这里有全美最美的森林自行车道直通DC,秋天红叶尤其是最美！本人在这住了十年，越住越喜欢！因为在西海岸住过，尽管喜欢大海但不喜欢冬天阴雨沉沉，去度假还好，本人也离不开大城市，喜欢高级享受，在建筑风格一流的大城市Chicago 住了三十多年，除了毫发无伤还健在！留个市中心全湖景的窝是必须的，每个月一千多刀管理费省了一切烦恼（不算租车位）来回两边跑，安静腻了，回大城市疯疯，感觉挺好，如果在这有限的生命时段，还考虑房价、税、生活费什么的，那就完全象我们刚来美国打拼的年代过的生活考虑的一样！那真是又一夜回到解放前😅
No place in the world is perfect. Just 3 month hot is ok, plus if you live near ocean, not in the middle band of Florida, not as hot and humid as you think:) Sarasota and nearby Tampa area are great and dream place to retire. I am in west Palm beach area, also great and dream place too. I don’t think any other places in the world are better than ours, haha 😊
It is not true. I live in Naples Florida and I only pay $2,000 a year. My house is inside a nice community, it was built in 2003. It is a 2 story 2,500 sqft house. As long as you have a relatively new tile roof ( we changed our tile roof in 2020). You are fine. We also have an investment single family house in a guarded, gated golf course community called “Eastwood” near University of Central Florida-only paying $1,600 a year. Florida is still very good for investment property or winter homes. Orlando is best since it is situated at the center of Florida and usually not affected by hurricanes
@@shadowmayday 我们是这样的，三年前早退了，小孩当时才上两年的大学。同事以为我说笑话，问我去哪家公司，竟然中国人熟人也不相信，即使半信半疑了，也说太早会无聊，等等。卖了大房，仍在麻州downsize 到了只有原来1/3大小的平房。也不用是什么好学区了。太好了。好收拾，好打扫，紧凑，费用大大的减少，heating and cooling, tax and upkeep大减。我们觉得离好的医疗近是最重要的。麻州这方面正合适。其实每年也就是二月份最难熬，我们就到南方坐两个长游轮，再到陆地玩一玩就可以回家了。夏季比较容易过的，我们去加拿大游轮也可以把最热的时候躲过。我们的主要去游的地方是欧洲，所以麻州也很合适。
