In my view it is not where you live but how you live. For example, when I lived in snow country I viewed my snow blower as a toy. I enjoyed it so much I often did neighbors driveways. I loved my occupation and if not for personal reasons would still be working today. So retirement wasn't my dream.
I enjoy talking with people and especially like listening to their life stories.
I found the Minneapolis area to be a vibrant exciting area with so much diversity upbeat modern progressive . What a great place to rear a family
Minneapolis was replaced with The Villages. Again much diversity, up beat people .
I find it unfortunate that some folks have happiness all around them, fail to see it, while they keep searching elsewhere
