Yesterday my husband and I drove fifteen hours to our house in Florida. We have been doing that for several years, and since we retired, have been spending more and more time in Florida. Today we got our licenses switched to Florida licenses, the beginning of our quest to become Florida residents. Why do we want to become residents of Florida? Many reasons!
First, if you are a retiree, Florida cuts you a break on taxes. Second, you can not beat the incredible weather down here during the winter. Third, we have some fantastic friends here. Fourth, the ocean is beautiful and warm. I could continue.
Despite the complications and confusion of the address, insurance, etc. changes, I am excited about becoming a true Floridian! Here's to a new year and a new state!
