Not everyone can afford or endure another move -- especially as they age.

Many people don't have the means to come down for several "Lifestyle Visits" or have a season of leisure to rent before buying. Most people I have met all agree that you have to settle your ties and debts before moving here. There are some that maintain lives here and afar, but many homestead.

I suspect if people had unlimited resources and were not happy here, they would find another place to suit them.

Some people, I agree, are in the business of misery -- if not for misery, they would be terribly miserable.

There are a lot of frogs here that don't have the means or energy to find another pond.

This post conflicts itself. Perhaps, a state of humanity for all of us. Robert Frost, the path not taken. I had a minor in psychology. Normal humans go through two stressful life periods. Around 15-18 what am i going to do with my life. Then, 50-???? what have I done with my life. That seems to be where most of these posts are.

Many ironies of life. Ponce de Leon came to Florida to discover the fountain of youth.
Florida is loaded with senior living-HUH?

The means or the energy? All the OLD lines apply. The world is your oyster. Where there is a will there is a way. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
Whatever you have there will be some with more and some with less.

I do not have the answers and if I did they would be my answers not the answers for others. I do perhaps see in many of these posts that some do not realize what the real problem is-it is them.
