However, the article is right on for Florida. Someone did their homework for this article. On the other hand, if a profile was developed for all states in the union, one may find some of the same issues.

Bottom line, we all get to pick and choose but our experience personally is many friends have departed Florida. Some have stayed. I think part of the problem is the structured lifestyle gets so stale after while no matter how many things one joins.
Interesting point. The more I think about it the more I think that there is more truth in it than we realize.

I once heard the average week in TV described as "six Saturdays and a Sunday". There is little challenge to living here. After a few months here I found myself unconsciously inventing stress so that I'd have something to worry about when I got up in the morning.

Old habits are hard to break.
