Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Neither were listed in "best" or "worst" top 10 for retirement.
Maybe in a few years, just playing with ideas of possible semi-ER or ER locations. We're currently in St Paul, MN and I've thought about moving somewhere warmer for awhile now. Even if it's for 5 years or so, I think the experience might be nice. I grew up in the Midwest (St Paul & Chicago).
Family of 4, 2 adults and 2 young kids (6 & 5 in 2012). Probably looking at rent or buy 3BR/2BA place with a community pool. Reasonable distance to major airport for personal travel/visitors and downtown for culture and possible consulting or contract projects to keep me out of trouble.
We have some extended family in both areas and have traveled to both a little. Ok with both, especially if I'm not working.
Both areas got hit pretty hard over the last few years, i.e. jobs, real estate, etc
I know both have "hot" seasons, but is dry heat better than humid heat?
FL has weather/insurance issues, AZ has potential water issues.
DW has alot of family in MN, so we may live somewhere warmer for the school year, then visit MN for a few months each year.
Just starting the research, any good articles/websites you can point me to?
