Oh how right YOU ARE ! Good grief, and one more point, not only the taxes taxes taxes, and getting LESS for all those taxes, but also you forgot to mention taxing your pensions to the hilt too. I know, probably people who came from (just a guess, maybe Wyoming, South Dakota, I don't know, but I have not found a less expensive location (though friends have told me Texas is even more affordable). Family members who "thought" Arkansas would be a good choice over Michigan for retirement, really experienced a shock, and yesterday they got another tax raise... so don't look that direction if you are trying to get out of Florida, but I don't blame anyone for trying to do the best they can for themselves !
