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...

Easy Peasy!
This is awesome!!!! In our little town the majority of the workforce works for under $10.00 hour. Take that times 2 if the wife is working and show me how to put 50K a year in an investment or a savings.
Don't miss understand me there is some big money in our town but most of the work force is very low hour wages.
Of course some get good overtime but uncle gets most of that.. Still going to be hard to put 50K away in this area.
PS: I was one of the fortunate to be able to enjoy the snowbirding for the last 5 years. Gotta stay home this year to enjoy my brand new Grand daughter.
It's all a matter of priorities, as is all of life. If family is priority, you stay in that area. If MONEY is the priority, you move to where the money is. It's that simple. Money doesn't buy happiness and sometimes having family around doesn't either.
