Your Thoughts
So there are 50 choices of states to retire.
FL has been knocked off as #1, still probably in the top 5. . by a small margin from #1,
and sensationalism to get headlines gets your attention. .

So the data may be assumed from changes in state migration, but that doesn't mean anything if you love living here. Seriously ask yourself why does it matter what other people are doing if you love it here? Are you getting emotionally involved in other people's issues or choices? or is the data making you doubt your choice?

unless interested in a future choice, these headlines aren't worth reading.

now get back to enjoying your retirement while you have days left.
