Personally I think jealousy is part of the component to these kinds of remarks! We have a couple in our family who, when we announced that we were coming here just how much we'd hate it. Summers are just awful and we surely would hate them. Well come to find out neither one of these folks had ever been to Florida. I just recently heard that they grilled my adult daughter, asking how we liked Florida....she told them we loved it as from her perspective we'd had no complaints! People are funny and will try to let the "air" out of others "balloons" just to make themselves feel better. Either this poster's acquaintances/friends either aren't in the same position (able to retire) or just plain jealous someone else is doing something they aren't.
