I took that adventure too when I was younger but I was not as successful as you. I moved to Tampa when I was 21 the first time I moved out but I came back home after about five months

[@cherylmorelli3210]

I have to agree with mom. I live in Minnesota and after that month straight of upper 90s-100 I started to miss fall and winter believe it or not! Can't wait to get on the rider boots and flannels. This morning it was 59° it's nice just to have the windows open with cool air and not the sound of AC and fan. But I definitely would like to live there in the darkest cold of Winter 🥶

[@TesoroDelSol]

So cute! Your parents are so young and pretty open-minded and understanding of your decision to move away at such a young age. My parents are/were much older than me (I'm the youngest of 4 girls) so there was a huge age gap between me and my parents and as a result, they were very traditional, strict, and set in their ways. I often wonder what my life would be like if I did what I actually WANTED to do at 20. I'm happy that you got to do what your heart told you was right for you. xo

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Yes they are young parents and I wouldn’t trade either one of them for the world. Also since you were the “baby” your parents were probably extra protective of you. Mine are the same way with my sister LOL

[@Classictail]

Great job Momma Bear 👍

[@waitaminute2015]

What a great mom you have! I know how time can slip away from us. I spent so many years in different places, but it's part of life and growing and learning. The important thing is you are there visiting now. I can see that you are making the best of your time with them. Nice job!

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Yes the time really does slip away. I can’t believe it’s been four years already since I’ve seen my parents. I look forward to being able to see them more in the future and KZbin will play a big role in that for me

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Yes she is my mom and I are very much the same in that way

[@marianna0056]

I share many of the same views as your mom. We approach the future with trepidation. Staying where we are already established is comforting to us women as we get older. Though we do want to travel to places where we dreamt of living. I, too, am thinking Florida may be a place to spend a couple of months in winter or spring. It’s a little hot and humid year round in Florida. Plus housing is getting to be too pricey on a fixed income. And if the market crashes, we will be underwater in a mortgage. Your mom seems so nice and supportive of your endeavors. But I can tell she misses you very much!!! ❤️

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Those all seem to be great reasons to stay put especially heading into retirement or if you’re already retired. Better to be a Snowbird and stay put then risk everything at that age and have to start over

[@georgebelgrade7462]

This video was great. Your mother is charming and down-to-earth. Seems like she gave you lots of lovely holidays and introduced you to Florida. I love all your walking videos. Loving your Colarado trip. Keep up the good work.

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Yes I love my mom too! Thanks to her I got to know Florida at a young age even if I was resistant to it LOL! Lots more coming from the trip glad you’re enjoying it George👌

[@jdhjimbo]

Michael, your mom sounds like my mom, when I left Michigan at 22, to move to Colorado. I was the oldest child, and none of my family had really moved, other than my grandparents heading to Florida, after my grandpa retired. It was hard on my mom at first, as we were close, but then she liked the idea of being able to visit me in CA, the PNW, and CO. I came back for either Christmas or Thanksgivibg most years, as well as family weddings, and eventually, my grandfather's funeral in Florida. I think that helped. As a young kid, I had always wanted the family to live in a more exciting and warmer spot, but we generally went up north, or a couple winter vacations to Florida. My dad hated Michigan, but my mom was afraid of moving until my dad would line up a job. My dad was proud of me deciding to actually make a move. Was this video done at your mom's place in Belvidere? The 4 seasons argument I heard to high heavens, but once I lived in CA, I could care less if I ever saw winter again, and there were mountains in Big Bear or Tahoe, if I missed snow, anyway. I have never missed winter since! Good to see your mom in a video! Her voice sounds similar - it is part of that nasal Great Lakes accent that all my family has as well.

[@MichaelBordenaro]

I think my mom likes the idea of coming to visit me too. I also went back for mini holidays and some graduations but I haven’t been back here in four years. Hopefully in the future I can visit more often. But I’m totally with you on the four seasons thing. I could care less about being in winter again too 😆 and being in California that’s the best of both worlds and you can get winter when you want it. Yes this was shot in my mom‘s living room and Belvidere! And I’m glad you also had the guts to leave home at a young age and you’ve had such a rewarding life since. In a lot of ways I’m following in your footsteps Jim

[@jdhjimbo]

@@MichaelBordenaro So many of my HS friends and acquaintances always talked about leaving Michigan, but never did. Most are still there today, and not real happy, but they have rationalized their decision. To each his own, but I have NEVER 2nd-guessed that decision - even when a couple of rough spots showed up, financially.

[@MichaelBordenaro]

@@jdhjimbo I know people like that too, its sad when people live their lives in regret, I am glad we are not doing that

Randall here again, I think these videos are really good. Both of your parents have been wonderful to share their thoughts about letting you leave home and offer suggestions to parents out here that might be going through the same thing, letting their baby go. LOL You seem to have had a wonderfully supportive upbringing in your hometown. Landing in real estate was actually aligned to your skill set of math. Another thing in common, Bro I was good in math too and did land in the Information Technology sector as a computer programmer analyst. I love automobiles and racing, that is where I would have enjoyed the most, engineering maybe. Its interesting that your Mom is partial to, at the moment, the four seasons; and, I see her as a snowbird, if she has her way. Snowbird would be my choice if I could financially make it work. Keep the videos coming and I hope some of these different videos help you develop the channel to take off even more. I Appreciate the content and it how you are able to tie it to Florida, be entertaining, and helpful in developing perspectives on Florida.

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Thank you Randall! Yes it was tough for both of them to let me go but I’m glad they did. Not like they had a choice though LOL. Yes I suppose I see the path into real estate being good at math. I think ideally most people would like to be snowbirds so I hope my mom can definitely make it happen. We’ll see if this type of content does anything for the channel. So far it hasn’t but KZbin is a long game and that can change in the future. Thanks for always watching and your awesome comments😀
