Those are all no for me!

[I am still oxox]

Interesting Saraspta is at the top of my list

You couldn't pay me to live in D.C., nor TX or FLA

I wasn't expecting to see any of these places especially Washington DC.  Not one of these places to retire would be my choice.

Washington DC

That is not correct, I live in DC and it is EXPENSIVE and everyone I work with who retires MOVES from DC to Florida or another state.

No one stays here unless they need a lot of assistance, meaning home care assistance, transportation services etc.

I guess I’ll break the news to DH tonight that we need to move since we’re retired😌and living in the wrong place.
