The wife and I are "snow-birds". We live in Virginia Beach, Va. during the summer while heading south to Port Charlotte on the gulf coast of south Florida for the fall/winter.
Port Charlotte was the #1 place to retire in the United States as listed by US News and World report in 2012. The cost of living there is really cheap.
We bought a real sweet 2K+ sf home with solar/heat pump heated pool, a 40'x12' covered lanai along with every amenity know to man for a paltry $139K.
No income tax, no personal property tax and very cheap real estate tax makes it a retiree's dream.
...the finest carpet bagging since the war between the states.
