Choose Your Florida Retirement Destination

It’s easy to push retirement to the perimeter of our minds when life is busy with family, careers, commitments and other adult priorities.

Read on for our suggestions on choosing Florida as your retirement destination.

Why Florida?

Let’s assume you want to be here, or that Florida is on your short list of potential locales. The lure is obvious if you hail from a colder climate. The Sunshine State’s year-round warm and mild winters may make you forget that furnaces exist!

If you already live here and are considering retiring elsewhere in the state, take a long weekend and go exploring. If you live out of state, plan a Florida vacation and do the same thing. But skip the theme parks and other typical visitor diversions.

    Soon local residents and crafty business men discovered that they themselves could cater to the visitors and turn a profit while doing so. Small attractions such as Panama City Snake-A-Torium where visitors could view a large collection of exotic reptiles up close began popping up everywhere. Following the success of small ventures like the Snake-A-Toruim, even larger attractions such as the Gulfarium, which can be best described as early version of Sea world, began to arise seemingly overnight. The Gulfarium found in Ft Walton was a shining example of impact of tourism in the area as Panama City was now one of several locations in which visitors could enjoy unique experiences in Florida’s panhandle. Pensacola although late in its arrival as a prime tourist destination also claimed home to some of its own unique wacky tourist attraction including Goofy Golf, which was miniature golf course, decorated with giant obstacles shaped in numerous objects.…

    John Fante’s masterpiece, Ask the Dust, exquisitely describes the city of Los Angeles during the early 1900s. Very seemingly, there is a strange parallel between modern day Florida and early 1900s Los Angeles. There are many ways that the two places are similar, such as the people who inhabit them, the climate, and how they are characterized and viewed as places of paradise. Los Angeles seems to be thought of as a sunny paradise, where dreams could come true and where the old could die peacefully, feeling like they had to accomplished everything in life. It was a fantasy and so many people fell for that fantasy.…

    I currently live in a small beach town right outside of Jupiter, Florida known as Hobe Sound. It’s a “drive by town” as I would describe it. There really isn’t anything there would attract or gravitate people to stay there; its better to just look at it out a car window well passing it. It is currently about six hours outside of Tallahassee, Florida. This seems really long, but originally I signed to go to University of Mississippi and later realized that being more than ten hours away from home was to much for me.…

So today you're getting some retirement prep tips because a key to having enough money in retirement is to save early and save often.
