We won't even go into the politics. Welcome to FREE FLORIDA.
I do believe jealousy is at the root, as you stated - I was fortunate to have retired young (friends are all still working) - and I know many of them would like to make the move away from Colorado (getting crowded on the front range, and as you said the political changes, that we will not get into) - maybe their resistance shouldn’t surprise me, but it does. They see the excitement and enthusiasm I have for TV, maybe I am too much of a “cheerleader”, and the fact they still are unable to retire, as much as they would like to, and move someplace warm to move to depresses them.
