The snowbird crowd is ageing
Seems to me in Texas the snowbird crowd is ageing, most are over 70 and many over 80. Every year more are too sick or old to make the trip and many have passed on. There are very few younger snowbirds...

Gee, an all this time I thought we were talking about living in a tin can down south during the winter where it was warmer then our home state was.
Didn't realize it was all that expensive to do. I must be doing it wrong.
really?
Yep really!! What are you talking about??
My in-laws who were WWII veteran's in their last years lived on $1,200 a month SS. He got $800 she got $400. They went to Florida every year for 5-6 months. He would bring down a freezer full of ducks, and then fill it up with fish. They had a tin can on some land which eventually rotted away. They then moved into a hotel for the winters.
I often think that is why they were called the greatest generation. They lived life to the best they could, they didn't sit around an cry about how they had it so bad.
To this day I still admire them and their ability to overcome adversity. Others just like to complain, that is the only joy they get I guess.
what.....does the WWII generation have to do with Snowbirding not being expensive because you must be doing it wrong?
You must be the type that takes everything literal, or you have a personal agenda that you are promoting. Either way good luck with that.
