Just curious. If you are 60 how cold is too cold when looking to relocate and retire?

Come to the Georgia coast.
Ice storms in the winter, 90+ degrees temperature and humidity, plus every stinging, biting insect known to man in the summer.
Plus, the occasional fall hurricane as a bonus.

And that's if you don't become gator bait.......

Good call! So what's the destination?

Still looking and while prices have dropped they have not dropped enough. For example my neighbor up the street placed their house on the market November 2024 at $439000 ( over priced). The last price drop was to $409000 and it's now off market because it didn't sell. 2500sqft 1978 house on an acre with a screened in pool.

I'm still looking at Tennessee based on retirement taxes and low cost of living. West Virginia is second but the whole state gets snow just different depths.

Happy hunting and early congrats on finishing the race! TN, AR, UT, or ID for me (I realize those last two don't meet your criteria).

If there's not palm trees or cactus it's too cold.

I live where I live because of the wife.

I traveled all over the us, the best weather was in Albuquerque
like Atlanta, but with less humidity. less heat than Arizona or Vegas.
but for retirees, the healthcare is third-world

It appears that, if you choose to live near the coast area in Ga you're going to need tar to rub over you body....like Lewis and Clark....
