Retiring, WHICH State?

[Cobra Tracks]

I retired from Florida to the mountains of north Georgia. Beautiful mountain roads to tour, whole lot of car people here, low cost of living. one hour from Road Atlanta and an hour from NHRA in Commerce Ga. I get deer every day and black bear almost every week. I love it.

Where in Florida did you live? What were your reasons for leaving...and choosing Georgia?

We've lived our whole life in WV and now that I'm retired, we're considering moving to Florida. Tired of the "November-April cold and wet" and looking for warmer year-around weather. (I seem to notice how limiting the weather is now that I don't spend all day at work!)

My in-laws retired to The Villages (north of Orlando) several years ago and love it.

Trying to learn all we can before we make a choice.

I am planning on staying in Georgia because all of my car friends live here. My kids and family are nearby. I do plan to move to north Georgia.

I love the area. You will not find a liberal within 50 miles, and the roads are well-paved and fun to cruise on.

I had always thought that I'd move to FL, but it's just too crowded there. While they have no income tax, they make up for that with other taxes.
