Florida utilities and insurance are now costing 40% more than they used to , you may want to reconsider them as an option, my family has owned property her for 53 years and we are looking at leaving
Check Hereford, Arizona; it has great weather, fantastic hiking places, various restaurants, birdwatching, solar watching, etc. It is very affordable. The wild horse area is the best.
Seriously? You would think Florida is the only place in the U.S. to retire according to this video and from what I have heard, it's not so inexpensive anymore! The title should have been "Places to retire in Florida". Well, that was a waste of time.
Not one single city in Arizona? Who the hell did your research? The tourst board for the state of Florida? Arizona is NOT exclusinvely the baking desert of Phoenix and Tucson, there are many communities in the mountains with mild climates, low cost of living, and low property taxes. The state has many favorable tax laws for retirees and is one of the most popular places to retire in the US. Sorry, bub. You just lost all credibility.
@@Ken15643 The secret is to stick to north east Arizona. That area is 'high semi-arid plateau.' Flagstaff is at the same elevation as Denver, then the land slopes down through lower mountains and wide high desert plains Ash Fork, Seligman, Prescott, Chino Valley are all above 4,000 feet in altitude. While Phoenix and Tucson get 8" to 12" of rain, the high elevations get 14" to 20" of rain (which makes a huge difference if you're a gardener). Instead of cactus you get savannah of scrub oak, Arizona cedar and grass. In Prescott, for instance, the average high temperature in Summer is 88 degrees (as opposed to Phoenix with an average high of 110 degrees). Yet, the winter temps only dip to the mid-twenties even in the dead of night in February. I am a fanatic gardener, so it is the idea zone for olives, artichokes, and pomegranates, while still being cold enough for apples, peonies and my beloved Dutch flower bulbs. Good luck with your retirement plans!
@@mmc9828 Congrats! I do a lot of online shopping and Phoenix has awesome shopping opportunities, as well. Yeah, Arizona, especially up in the mountains (I'm relocating to Prescott) has a warm sunny climate, modest property taxes, excellent state policies for seniors, and a good quality of life (especially air quality). I'm a gardener and can not give up my beloved Dutch tulips and peonies (both of which need snow) so... But, if you can take the heat, I totally "get" Phoenix suburbs.
Florida is no longer a poor man’s paradise. Daytona shouldn’t be on this list. Tampa, where I live, is full of traffic jams. Maybe because Californians and New Yorkers keep moving here. Miami Dade is expensive as hell, only second to Palm Beach County. Naples, Port St Lucie? Damn. I’m guessing this list is for rich folk to retire too.
Which of these amazing places would you like to retire in USA? 😍
Its Ohhhh Cal Ahhhh!
FLORIDA IS NO LONGER CHEAP!! I'VE BEEN HERE FOR 25 YRS + !!!
And live among giant Burmese Pythons? No thanks, I'll pass!
Disneyland is in Anaheim -- Disneyworld is in Orlando.

Brother, the clips you use in the background of your videos are great. Where do you download them from?☺️

I've never been to the US and even to me this video sounds off.. Why not Oregon? Massachusets? I think there is more to this..
I see you're skipping info about weather--which is important for many health conditions.
The beaches of Mexico is starting to sound pretty good right about now for 2023.
If you want to be murdered or kidnapped
😂
Florida seems great.
Have you ever been to the west coast ?
Florida seems the best state to retire in USA!
Yes, it is definitely the most preferable place to retire for most people!

I am looking to retire, thinking about Florida but would prefer something in Arizona.

Your really selling Florida, last place I would want to live,
Why do you keep showing snow as pleasant weather in Florida? They seldom get snow! Last time it snowed in Florida was in the 70's!!

Florida is sinking and hurricane prone state. Climate change will make many coastlines uninhabitable.
Sinking lmao. Climate cultists have been saying that nonsense for years but won’t stop their elites from buying oceanfront property like the Obamas 😂
So you work for Florida?
Yanceyville, NC
Taking and the consideration of climate change this will not work for me I'm looking to go into work South will be underwater and too hot to live in
I moved to Floriduh. Big mistake.
