Oh Great & Knowledgeable Yadkin, please tell us of your military service and disabilities you may have received while serving?

I don't condemn anyone who did not serve but if you're going to send some bullshit in someone's direction, then let's hear it.

Kewl, I had always Dreamed of Retiring in Central Florida ~

Supplementing my Income as a Disney Employee

Wanted to Drive the TRAM in the Parking Lots ~ or Sweep Up Popcorn ~ or Work the Smoked Turkey Leg Cart near Tom Sawyer Island and the Country Bear Jamboree

But then Disney Went Woke, and Nobody Speaks English in Florida Anymoar . . .

So Now I'm Like All Confused on where to Spend My Retirement Loafing Years

No Water in the Deserts
Wild Fires In La La Hollyweird Land
Hurricanes all along the Oceanic / Gulf of America Coasts
Out of Control Housing Prices of Outrageously High Price to Insure Dwellings

Thinking of Getting a Cozy Conversion Van ~ and Doing a Dive Bar Tour of America ~ Getting Kamikazi Shots Bought for me Every Night by some Random Local ~ then just Sleeping in the Van after I Slip out of the Drive Bar ~

Then repeating the Cycle at another Local Dive Bar ~ Day after Day

Nonetheless, Keeping my Options Open

I recommend north of I-10. Unless you like crowds and traffic and crime.

I've given considerable thought to this. Each year I think about it more than the last.

I'll most likely die in my sleep and not be discovered for at least 2 months.

Plan B, car accident.

Does that hold true in the big bend/forgotten coast area too? Seems less populated through there.

I'm 60, have no apparent infirmaries, go to the gym 3 days per week for an upper body work-out and also run 9 miles per week. Most all of my family members live well into their 80s with some living into their 90s. Those stats would suggest I've got 25-30 somethin' years to go but who really knows?

In my opinion life, if you can't live it the way you want when you get older is overrated. I'd much rather die suddenly at the age of 70 then have to sloth through a cancer treatment at the age of 71. I'm no quitter but having seen a few people exposed to cancer treatments makes me not want to do it under any circumstances. I also see people who aren't physically capable of much which makes me not care surviving to an advanced age if I can't do the things I want and have a feeling of value.

I would like to out-live my parents and in-laws but definitely want to die before Ms. Mudbone.

To summarize, I "plan" to live at least until I'm 85 but hope to die well before that if my health goes sideways.

That coast is still a bit sleepy.

Trying to figure out out what to buy.
I'm not sure I could live in a condo.
I need complete silence and cant stand any background noise.
Maybe its my OCD.
