Let's say this person is not yet 65.
$1,000,000 probably isn't enough with FL prices and FL property taxes. I'm pushing my wife to pack our bags and move to a lower cost of living and a low property tax state. Not sure how the poor sucker is going to afford my house after it appreciates for 8 more years and then I sell it to them with high property tax rates and FL cost of living.

I'm shooting for 1.5 million and leave FL. Should be able to live comfortably for the rest of our days
