We’ve only been part-timers in FL for almost 5 years. Our intention was to eventually sell RI and become full time Florida residents. However, living my whole life in RI I took a lot of things for granted that I’ve only recently realized. I love the four distinct seasons in RI. Two + acres of land, privacy and wildlife out in the country is also a plus. Those two acres of land includes about an acre of lawn which I enjoy cutting with my riding mower. Then there’s restaurants, doctors, family, etc. Winter can be long in RI which is definitely not a plus but summer can also be long in Florida. As a result, we’ve decided to remain part-timers in Florida.
