Anyone sitting in their home for six months is lazy. No friends? No cultural events? No planned activities or workout centers? No family? No volunteering? Shoveling snow,why? A service can be hired for that and it’s far cheaper than lawn care in The Villages.
Wisconsin is terrible, lol. Everyone is encouraged to move to Florida and particularly The Villages. We’ll get the word out.

We lived in West Michigan a block from the lake for 25 years. It was indeed a hassle in the winter with the blizzards, whiteouts, ice, bone-chilling winds, dirty mushy garage, dirty car you can't wash yourself, and I'm only scratching the surface.
What I did find is that the native born Michiganders never got cold, loved the skiing, sledding, skating, etc. I loved Michigan in the summer but I just never got used to the winters. I'll take 6 months of heat here over November through March in Michigan. And I'm not a lazy person. Just didn't like twenty minutes of gearing up in cold-weather clothing every time I wanted to go outside for something.
