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...

It costs us very little more to snowbird than to stay home and the comfort and good times are priceless...Some years we save enough in dentist bills to cover our extra Winter costs.
I know of one couple that come south in a truck, spend the winter, buy a slide in camper down south, use that truck/camper as they travel lazily north in the spring, sell the camper, and it mostly pays for their whole winter(the portion above normal daily living.) They do this each winter.
For the record, they are not government, teacher, misc... retirees. They do have paid health care coverage from their country of origin.
As Water-bug said it's all about priorities. Everything else is just an excuse.
