I understand you don't want any cold or snow but the OP doesn't want summers that will boil his butt. To each their own but he is entitled to choices.
Well I work about 6 days/week if you include working late on the regular 5. I have provided for myself pretty well considering my plan is to retire in 2 years to my second home in the Villages (at 57 years old). I tolerate daylight savings time (though I wouldn't mind if it went away). But the long winters are dreary and removing feet of snow is getting tiresome even though I'm not quite "old" yet. I don't think my desire to move south turns me into a millennial.
