Re: Where would you retire?
|
I¡¯ve been vacationing in Maine since 1965 when I was a kid. We often times spent a week on mid coat at my friend cabin and we would also camp at Acadia. We¡¯ve seen all sorts of weather. In August we¡¯ve seen it just above freezing and we¡¯ve seen it be 100*. We¡¯ve seen fog so thick, you wouldn¡¯t believe it, torrential downpours, but the beauty is unbelievable no matter what the weather. Stephen J Kutash

Maine has always struck me as state of mind (pun not really intended), and not only the coast, so there are those who seem to naturally connect with it, despite miserable winters and high taxes.? I am just not one; one time I was in Brunswick in June and it
was still COLD, another time I camped in Acadia the week after Labor Day when it was already getting nippy, so we needed our lined sleeping bags.
After dragging my wife to Vermont and upstate NY for work and business opportunities, we retired to the SW corner of Maine, she always vacationed there when single so when the time came it was her decision. I don't regret it, winter doesn't bother me being
a native of Buffalo(Go Bills).

Got to be a little careful, if you live in a city they probably require sidewalks to be shoveled. Other than that¡
Lots of people in New England see to retire to Maine, where the winters are worse than further south. Then again, I lived in Florida and have no desire to go back.

Just remember that in a place like Chicago, when you are retired, in the winter you do NOT have to brave the cold and roads every day to go to work.? You don't have to constantly shoveling your car out of snow, or whatever.? That's when you just
stay indoors and do modeling work.? And only go out occasionally.
And on the Earl Scheib things, it was, originally, "I'll paint any car, any color for $29.95.? No Ups!? No Extras!"? I guess it was probably at $39.95 at some point.? But he had to drop the "any car any color" due to a "truth in advertising"
problem because he charged more for some colors, like metallics.
