Have to laugh a bit...As the baby boomers age, and as there are so many of us, isn't every state going to become a retirement state? If you catch my thinking.
We bought a slip and a boat at Trexlers/Quayside on Moultonborough Neck, and then liked it so much we bought a house. then rented that out in hopes of having the rentals pay down the mortgage quicker so that we could retire.
Well that changed and we decided to move here. Life is just a bit slower most of the year, less stress, taxes are a bit cheaper...until next year and we become a donor town...Arghh. People are friendlier, willing to talk politics without flipping out like our friends in Mass do. So there are many reasons to retire here. Heck we even get a Hannafords now!
