Here's guessing you all will be complaining about the heat and humidity once you retire and move south. The past few weeks have been a strong reminder about why I dislike DC summer weather much more than I disliked Michigan and Chicago winters. I can't imagine living anywhere further south. Each to your own though. Everyone has their own temperature tolerance.

Regardless, hopefully you all at least are moving some of your money away from stocks before the market inevitably crashes. Some of the online banks now offers savings accounts with interest rates of over 2%.
I despise cold.  I despise snow unless I'm skiing on a mountain in it.  I much prefer a Central Texas summer over a northern winter. 

If anything, even Austin gets too cold for me during the winter.  I clearly need to move someplace tropical.

It took awhile, but I came to realize my parent's love affair with retirement in WY.   They detest humidity, and while they may hit 90 here and there during the summer, its sunny all the time, and dry.  It's got all of the recreation they were seeking, and not the extreme/nastiness of the NE and WI winters they experienced much of their life.  Of course WY is a huge state, and they are knowingly isolated, but they could've picked all sorts of non-high desert areas and gotten socked by snow, wind and cold.  Different strokes for us all.

Fla. is a seasonal stop for me, same with the PHX valley.  Wouldn't be caught in those places if I can help it between April-September.

Yeah, although I don't want to go back to Chicago winter, I don't mind some cold. I handle cold better than I do heat.

Yep. My parents moved to CO a few years ago. Coming from Chicago, they were looking at KY and CO. My mom's doctor said to avoid places that were hot and humid, and thus it was CO. 

Denver winters are nothing like Chicago winters. Yeah, they might get a foot of snow dropped on them. And then the sun comes out, and the temp hits 40, and it melts. Unlike Chicago where it's consistent below freezing every day from December through February. 

Denver is on my short list of places I'd willingly live.

yup, Colorado just north of New Mex might be a place to land, or Kansas

I couldn't live in a big city like Denver, Albuquerque is probably too big for me, but I could live on the outskirts in a small town.

California would be a great place to live if it weren't for taxes and cost of living.  Don't think I can afford to live there in retirement.

I couldn't live in a big city either, at least not indefinitely (a few years while still young wouldn't kill me). The dream is to find a nice college town of 100-300K with nature surrounding ... and buy a home outside of town in that nature.

I thought about northern Nevada.  Close to CA but without the taxes.  Somewhere east of Tahoe and the tourists.  Carson City perhaps.

that sounds nice

I also thought about Vegas, cheap flights, low humidity, low taxes

I'd have to live outside the city

Great choice. Florida is probably the best state to live, in my opinion. Can't beat the year round weather and beaches. No state income tax and great home/asset protection laws. The latter part is the reason why OJ bolted out of California and into Florida.

Sure there's a lot of people, but still a lot less people than Texas or California. And much better weather and beaches than both of those states. Beaches in California suck, the water is too cold and there's just way too many god damn people in California. Not to mention the property taxes & state income taxes are ridiculous in California and home/asset protection laws suck.

Florida really can't be beat imo. What part of Florida were ya looking at?
Considering just physical geography factors, California has it all over Florida.  On human geography factors, it's the reverse.

I'm thinkin something like Albuquerque or Santa Fe, maybe north of there.  Get some elevation and lose some humidity.

Expected high of 98 in Albuquerque, but it will feel like 98

Sewer City, IA expects 91, but it will feel like over 100

Santa Fe expects 90, humidity at 45%

Farmington NM expects 96, but humidity is 28%

Farmington is nearly in Colorado, long way from the border
My MIL lives in Santa Fe.  We go there twice a year to visit and listen to her tell us how wonderful, I mean WONDERful and MARvelous it is there.  Santa Fe is the arts community, the rich retirees from elsewhere living in gated communities, and a bunch of people who work there but can't afford to live there.  It's got to be one of the worst-governed cities in America.
I wouldn't retire there on a bet.

The Midwest has tornadoes, the east and Southeast have hurricanes, Colorado is sitting on top of radiation, and must of the West will be kaput once the Yellowstone Caldera goes boom.

All things equal, the earthquakes aren't much worse than the rest of it.
