Default leaving car up north

I am a perspective villager and a current resident of Pennsylvania. I Have neighbors in Pennsylvania who own in Florida and have chose to homestead in Florida.

Both of there cars a registered in Florida. There are many advantages to this.
Neighbor tells me his car insurance dropped from $3200 to $900.00 for full coverage. They are back and forth from Florida throughout the year (doctors). I am glad he is reaping the rewards of being a Floridian.

Although there are three states that don't tax pensions or SSI (Pennsylvania Florida and Nevada) I will not hesitate to homestead in Florida even if I keep the property in Pennsylvania for the auto insurance savings alone.

Big brother is not watching to see if you live 6 months and 1 day in any given location.

Another bonus is if your state taxes pensions, it is a no brainer. The only thing that can get you in trouble is if you register to vote in both states and vote in both states. That is a no no.
