I live in Florida. When I retire, I’m leaving! It’s extremely expensive, it takes months to see a doctor or dentist and the heat/humidity are ridiculous.
Florida? I don't think you did enough research. Florida has high sales taxes, is stifling hot and humid during the summer months. Primary industry is tourism which takes a hit every economic downturn, and the jobs barely pay a living wage. Add in the high cost of home insurance, high violent and property crime, hurricane season, red tide, rising ocean waters, lack of healthcare options, Florida shouldn't have made the top ten list.
