My wife and I have zero regrets. We are originally from NJ and lived in Michigan as well. We don't miss anything about living up north. True the summers are very hot and humid, but I can go outside 365 and enjoy being outdoors. You learn to adjust your activity level, and just remember that 10-2 are usually the hottest parts of the day. The pools are quite refreshing! When the winter weathers came while we were up North, especially when it got below zero, going outside was not anywhere near the top of my list. "Snow" (and actually "work") are now 4 letter words in my vocabulary.

Truly this is a personal decision as there are people who regret moving south and being away from their immediate family. If you have grandchildren, this might be a factor in your decision as there are people who have sold their homes and returned 'home'.
