Most of us can afford it. But not all of us can. Being retired doesn't mean being wealthy. Living in the Villages doesn't mean being wealthy. Some of us have to pick and choose where our money goes, and there isn't much left over at the end of the month.

Some of those issues too rest on whether a person is sufficiently financially prepared to move to another state and stop working. We moved here in our late sixties. My husband worked remotely here until two years ago.
We have always been extremely careful and saving and financially conservative.
It is better to have extra when you need it, even if you do without or have to wait for good things to happen.
