Please share.

I think your original question has been hijacked ........... so, if I may put my 2 cents in:
There are certain expenditures in Florida that you cannot live without, make sure they are covered in your rainey day account:
Air Conditioning and Water Heater ---- both of these have give or take a 10 year life span, and you cannot live without either - expensive to replace.
Most everything else you can work around, but you do need air and hot water. ALSO -
Health Care. If you are on medicare this will not be a huge problem, if you are not yet old enough to be on medicare - ouch!
I, obviously, cannot speak for anyone else, but to us retiring and voluntarily giving up two good incomes was very frightening and we went back and forth about it for several months before biting the bullet and doing it. We made numerous lists of pros and cons and spoke to as many retirees as we could and came to the conclusion to jump in and enjoy the rest of our life - we did and we do.
