Water in Cabo is too cold and too rough to be any fun.  I vastly prefer the other side, places like Playa del Carmen or Tulum.

Ah.  Well I'd rather retire on a beach in Mexico than anywhere in California, so it didn't seem ironic to me. :)

I discussed something outside the US with the wife and she was a strong NO.  Political uncertainty.  I also mentioned France, and that was an even stronger NO.

Like really no.

She grew up in a large city and likes large city things.  That narrows it down.  Considerably.

I was going to check out Tampa more when we stumbled across this place.  Sign here.

Well, DUH, everyone wants to go there.

Put another way, rank order the following as priorities, one being top priority for you, you can have ties.

Weather
Taxes 
Cost of living
Cost of real estate
Proximity to "cultural stuff"
Proximity to restaurants, bars, etc.
Low traffic
Proximity to the beach, or mountains, or desert, or your football team
Safety (crime)
Special amenties (like having a horse barn, or lake for your boat, or golf, your hobby in effect)
Long term stability (ability to live there until you are really feeble)
Health care proximity
Other

The beach communities are a great location there.  We had a time-share at Indian Rocks Beach for like 15 years.  It's right there next to the big city, but still beach villagey.

I think some of the speaks to the reality that even if you live in a bigger place, you don’t necessarily have to experience the entirety of the geography. Like, if you find the right beach village, you might just not leave.

even if I won a big lottery, I don't think I'd retire in a place that was very expensive.  Just not my nature

but it would be something to ponder

If I won a large lottery, I'd probably go for 2-3 places and snow bird.

Well, the expensive places are usually the crowded places. They're expensive because they're popular. Cheap places are usually cheap because nobody wants to live there.

And you don't strike me as the type that wants to live someplace crowded...

I'd guess some places are not too crowded and full of wealthy folks, something like Boca Raton, maybe not that specifically.  Tourists go there, and I'd guess I'm thinking of a place tourists can't go.  There is some bizarre money in Monaco of course but they let me walk about.  You could buy an island and a yacht.

Or just a yacht and live on  that stateless.

You watch yer ass! :)

Of course, I'll be long gone by then, living on an island in the Caribbean.   So, have at it!
