I think I've got about ten years, depending on the stock market and how much college for my daughter costs. But with historically low interest rates, I wouldn't be opposed to buying a future retirement home sooner than that. Plus, work from home flexibility is likely to continue for me for the foreseeable future.
My wife and I always wanted to retire to Cape Cod, but the prices have been very high and getting higher for many years. This year it saw an even bigger increase than usual. I know the Cape well enough, but I'd be interested in any other good locations. Have considered New Orleans, but I'd need to summer up north. We love the city, the culture, the music, food etc. I know the South Carolina coast well from Charleston to Savannah, doubt my wife would want that.
Are there any year round locations that provide anything like that? Summers a bit milder perhaps? I don't mind a bit of winter (like Cape Cod). I have never been to Saint Augustine, but it looks interesting. Don't know how the summer is. Are there hidden gems out there that I'm missing? I am sure we've got retired folks here, and others like me that may be thinking about it.
