Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
We simply want to move south for better weather, and a change in scenery, and it’s going to cost significantly more. After a life of LBYM, it takes a little thought for me to essentially increase our fixed costs. We’re not looking to test our financial limits at all, nor for “bragging rights” or “living around snobby people.”
OP, I wasn't referring to you. I too will likely have a more expensive home if/when I move.
However, there are many people out there who do think they need to be in the "best" home and have the "best" car. They don't tend to be the same people as who post here because many here are advocates of LBYM, even after retirement.
Since people are posting houses, I'll contribute one from my recent random looking at areas around the country:https://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/Prescott-AZ/64958962_zpid/26620_rid/500000-_price/1958-_mp/34.539607,-112.410189,34.527339,-112.429415_rect/15_zm/1_rs/
