SnowBirds - That Retired Guy

In this episode of "That Retired Guy" Darell discusses the ups and downs of being a Canadian Snowbird. Life after Retirement for many Canadians brings the opportunity to become a Snowbird and head south for the winter. Darell explores retired life in the sun with our southern Neighbours (not a spelling mistake). From real estate and tax issues to politics and culture, there is much to consider.

We are retired and have lived in rural Alaska for 30 years. With less than 4 hours of daylength in December, looking for a 6-month rental to dip our toes in snowbirding. Any tips for winterizing the summer house in Canada?

[@thatretiredguy]

I know what you mean about 4 hours of daylight. We lived in Northern Alberta (Ft. McMurray); but on the flip side, I remember in the summer having the midnight golf tournament. Winterising our Canadian property for our snowbird adventures involved turning off the water main into the house, setting the house thermostat to about 8 degrees Celsius (46 Fahrenheit), using either a wi-fi thermostat or buying a wi-fi enabled weather station to monitor your house from down south, and if you are concerned about security you can also get those wi-fi cameras. Also don't forget to put your phone and cable TV subscriptions on hold till you get back. We gave up our land line in favour of Magic Jack which works anywhere in North America and can run on your cell phone. Anyway, enjoy your snowbird vacation, and "Live Your Best Life".
