Nice video I am looking at making a move things that I have been looking at are: 1. Weather 2. Property Tax - Do Not Move To Texas!! 3. Crime 4. Housing Cost 5. Hospital Ratings Anything else I should be looking at?
Kenny, thanks for sharing your list as it's all a little different for everyone. I also like to live in places with a thriving downtown, close to hiking trails, with a good brewery and local coffee house... :)
I presently live in southern Idaho. We had 25 days this summer when the temperature exceeded 100 degrees with the remainder of the days were in the high 90s. People are moving here in droves and have driven the price of real estate up markedly. Because of the influx of new residents, builders are going wild and building high density housing. This massive amount of construction is causing a constant haze of dust. The schools are suffering because they cannot get teachers and the new students make for large, crowded classes. I am not saying southern Idaho is a bad place to live; it is just bursting at the seams.
If money was not an issue, it has to be California, and I’d pick somewhere around Sacramento (that’s if you like the outdoors). 2-3 hrs any direction you can be skiing world class resorts, hiking the pacific coast trail, seeing amazing redwood forest, great beaches, Death Valley, Yosemite national Park, mild weather, fresh picked fruits and vegetables of every kind, and great access to health care…
I could deal with Charleston, SC or Florida....but still the housing costs...I have probably several million in properties but really can't afford much in either place.
@@dorkladytravels I'm thinking that what i usually do will work with a little time. The increase in rates will come with an increase in defaults on adjustable rate mortgages. I've gotten where I am buying really good deals or foreclosures and putting sweat equity in to make them viable. With cash onhand I might be able to get some good deals in "the cracks' of the housing market like always. I am retiring at this point at 47 with all the properties I already have.
That's a great strategy, and congratulations. I wish I'd kept our first few houses, then I'd be retired too. Alas, you know what they say about hindsight...
I live in Sacramento which isn’t bad, but can’t wait to get out of California. It’s hard though because I am such a weather weenie. I keep coming back to just staying here because you can’t beat the weather. All this talk about Florida sounds so appealing but then when I talk to people who have lived there I’m told about the humidity in the heat and that’s a dealbreaker for me.

@@dorkladytravels Nice to hear from you as well. I always enjoy your videos and it's a lot of fun traveling around the country and window shopping with you guys. I've never seen the world so out of balance. Someday when excess and nonsense no longer reigns over the world I hope to visit some of these places you have showcased. :)
Yes, it's absolutely crazy out there in some ways. But we just came back from a big road trip and the people we met in real life were so nice... I think it's the people online who are a little more crazy.
We're headed to Palm Beach! 🫣Just here to support you, because it's likely we will retire right here in NorCal, that, or a Class A! Interestingly, we're headed to Sandpoint, Idaho, after our music event. We have an AirBnb on the lake you mentioned for a few days, then headed south to Donnelly, Id. We will be rubbing elbows with the blue hairs 🤣
Which of these would you choose if money was no object? More ideas on where to live in America: ruclips.net/video/Iitcj3Ey14s/видео.html
Nice to have a real person talking to us. And quickly getting into the reason for the video is nice too.
Didn’t realize i was poor
Until I watched this
Nice video I am looking at making a move things that I have been looking at are:
1. Weather
2. Property Tax - Do Not Move To Texas!!
3. Crime
4. Housing Cost
5. Hospital Ratings
Anything else I should be looking at?

Yeah definitely not Texas
"Hot humid summers" - well you just lost me there.
I love Florida. Moved here in 2017 and I plan on retiring in the next 5-6 years.
Planning to move in Florida, New York is still cold now.
The name of this video should be: Best States to Retire in Luxury 2022.

For me Any where in Hawaii
As a Canadian, I plan to snowbird when I retire…and so happy to see my first pick is your first pick! West Palm Beach!!!❤️
Snowbirding sounds awesome. I love living in more than one place... :)

Maybe in time you can sell one of the income properties to make the transition possible... :)

Floriduh sucks trust me. I'd much rather be living back in San Diego

Thanks!
Double thanks... 🙏
Colorado, don't they tax SS?
Outstanding presentation and information. The detailed research you put into your video is simply amazing. Thanks!
ER, thank you so much. It's nice to see you again!

Sandpoint is awesome, you'll love it. Lots of good spots around the lake to park yourselves with a sippy cup full of booze... :)
@@dorkladytravels I'm already scoping out the terrain!
I am in the Bay Area and it is expensive here. I am in Marin County on a budget. Great climate and beautiful scenery.
Hello my netural chanal
